Who is you go to for top quality vinyl


I use to buy so many Japaneese and German  pressings locally when i was a younger man.
Now I only see them shipped from japan for crazy shipping prices on ebay(and weeks away ),
I hear all the great recommendations on specific labeled vinyl or mixes.I know its a collection, but where is your go too.
Thanks

I agree I had many! They were destroyed in a house fire so in reality I am rebuilding 30yrs work all over again.I live in the mtns far away from the big city now.lol    So online is the only real option for me( the used records stores of which there are two within 2hrs are well lack luster and there vinyl always lets me down with conditon  ,although i do make it down to San Fransico occasionally.

I've never done it , thats a few week wait also correct? 

As for japan , I have not my parents lived in okanowa in the 50s (Airforce)
I just get so nervous with used lp i have had just one after another be atleast one or two ratings below stated . Not always like I've stated  before I am rebuilding what was an extensive lp ,cd collection lost in a fire ( cds just never seem to be replaced anymore) . I just get lp ,which is funny because i went nuts on cd collecting in the early 90s

your speaking my language
tull ,marillion  ,yes ,floyd oh ya seen them many times live .. This world is totally fugazi👍 I will check it out
Thanks . I have always had good luck with japaneese pressing and imports from holland ,germany etc . I stopped in the only record (lp) store within 75 miles of my house it was dismal .the used lps were cruddy with dishwash  fluid (guy says " if i told you they might not need to be cleaned i'd be lying ) etc and were priced at 6-10 bks new was half speed 180s ( which have been lack luster for the most part ) or U.S print remaster crap . My music goes from Brubeck to Mayhall to Genesis  to Herbie Hancock Zappa to Nora Jones . My mainstay is progressive rock and classic rock .. Thanks  for the tips.I am aware that many here have very deep pockets which is great I do just fine but 50-60 for an lp certainly changes my order lol
Thanks to all im a checkin😁 

Hey whart .
I grew up in Baltimore in the 80s  in a serious prog crew . Why? Just was , we had some killer selections locally ..I lost a serious ,I mean  serious prog collection to a house fire ..
German prog like -
Eloy
Camel 

Italian like -
le' orme  
Banco
Goblin
 
 english like -
Genesis  
van der graff 
etc etc 
i'm going to look onto this ... 
Hmmm 
I dont think I ever had any Russian pressing.Well there ya go i thought i had 4 of everything lol...The part the sucked most about losing my collection in the fire besides the obvious,is that you have to go back and 
A) find it...some being sooo pricey now
B) Buy the same  dam lp you heard a million times and had 4-5 pressings of .
