New Releases on Vinyl?

Here in SF we have several stores. Most surprisingly Virgin Megastore on Market St. has a large new vinyl section now with a decent selection of top 40, indie, psyche resissues, $50.00 japanese beatles lp's, and major label "Rock". They even have Reuben from American Idol's album on Wax which I'm tempted to buy just to make my friends laugh. They also have Clay Aiken 45's! They have new Jazz and classic soul lp's for $6.00. I think this shows that a mainstream vinyl revival is really beginning to happen. I think it may also be the first time in history that the consumer world was told that a technology was obsolete and then 25 years later a full mainstream revival may happen. Tube audio could be next if the prices would come down.

Thanks for all the responses, I think I'll have to live with the fact that not evereything will be available that I want. I listen to a large variety of music, alternative, motown, some classical, classic rock, jazz, even bluegrass. Basicly whatever sounds pleasing to me but never heavy metal. There seems to be a wealth of material on vinyl I've never heard of though, and maybe this will expose me to some new things.

There really is a wealth of material. You mentioned classical music. The nice thing about classical, it demand for it on vinyl has mostly dried up (at least near me), so I can find lots of title recorded in the 50s and 60s for $1/ea. These are some of the best recordings and performances out there. Most of these are in great shape. But if you have a taste for some of the comtemporary fare, you are mostly relagated to CD for that. There aren't many (if any) new classical releases on vinyl, just reissues. So don't give up your CD player. I haven't. The jazz will be next to impossible to find in the used bins. And when you do find it it will be expensive, IME. The classic rock and some alternative will be easy to find.
