Hey Bossk, where do you live? Cause most of the large chains here in Toronto carry current as well as older vinyl. I think almost every band still releases vinyl. AC/DC just release most of there albums on 180gram pressing. Very cool! With the right equipment, and a nice diamond tip needle, there is no comparison! Oh ya, and BETA is awsome! My old beta machine croaked a few years ago. I loved it. The best part was NO MACROVISION!
