Where do you buy "NEW/Current" LPs?

I am thinking of breaking out my turntable again and was wondering if there are any places where one can buy current/new LPs? I know there are mail order LP shops but all of their LPs seem to be reissue. Giving that I don't like classical my choices are limited. I have a small LP collection of about 300 LPs but all of those are from the 80s and 90s. Can one buy anything new from today artist? Or is it time to sell the LPs and do digital 100% since that seems to be where all the new music is?

Please I don't want this to turn into LPs vs. CDs as which sound better. I am just looking for a source of current LPs from today's artist.

My music choices are Jazz (Traditional and Smooth), Blues, Gospel, R&B.

Thanks....

A few more:

www.diversevinyl.com. Since you're not a resident of the EU you're exempt from the UK's 17 1/2% VAT, so you get a 17 1/2% discount on DV's prices. DV also ship very quickly.

www.gearheadrecords.com
www.hmv.co.uk

Amazon UK has a lot of current vinyl; ordering from them is as easy as ordering from Amazon USA.

Please DO NOT purchase from "Red Trumpet" -- www.redtrumpet.com. They filed for bankruptcy in October or November. Despite this unfortunate situation, their website is still operational and accepting credit cards, the last time I checked (a week or so ago).

In recent weeks, I have had a few poor vinyl purchasing experiences. The most reliable has been www.acousticsounds.com (Acoustic Sounds)...they are the best for day in, day out purchasing (that I have found).

Good luck!

When I am looking for heavy metal vinyl that is not being sold in the USA I go on the web and find stores in Europe. I purchased Rammstein: Mutter from a store in Norway and Therion: Secret of the Runes from a store in Germany. The prices were comparable to similar albums in the USA. The LPs arrived quickly and in great condition.
