Where to buy vinyl?

OK, now I've got a Thorens TD 160 with SME Series III arm and Ortofon SME 30H cartridge. I've played the one new record I've got, Coltrane's Ballads, and I must admit it sounds great. So where do I buy vinyl? I prefer jazz, baroque and classical music, especially small groups. I'd especially like to try a few 45 rpm recordings.

gemm.com and of course ebay.com. Gemm is one of the better sources as you can look up vinyl being sold from all over the world. Of course, be ready to pay. Original vinyl is often worth a pretty penny!

One could go to http://www.mutantmusic.com to pick up the release of "Thunderbolt Pagoda". Great packaging great vinyl and really impressive sonics too ;) I got mine a couple of days ago and am really enjoying it.

I bought my first LP's from Amazon - they came in perfect condition, but were definitely not packaged as well as Acoustic Sounds packages their shipments.

Anybody buy from Tower's website? They have even better prices than Amazon, but condition on arrival is more important than saving a couple bucks.

db,
you did not state where you are roughly located, so its tough to offer retail options.

On line try DCCblowout dot com.

If you are on the east coast, be sure to swing by Princeton Record exchange, you'll spend 3 hrs there at a min.

If on the west coast, Record Surplus in Los Angeles has quite a large selection.
