Where to buy new rock LP s?

got to agree with with j.thunders. www.gemm.com hey i wanted some 1,500 pressing 7' single a couple were there as usual....

also try www.musicstack.com similiar format to gemm aka 90 million people listed selling essential items.

I have bought a number of new releases on vinyl including rock titles at: www.redtrumpet.com they provide excellent service at competitive prices. Good luck.

I second redtrumpet.com. They tend to have most new rock LPs. Not necessarily all of the independant rock releases, but most of the major label and import releases.

It looks like you've gotten plenty of good suggestions for more mainstream rock. I recommend Music Direct too--their prices and selection are pretty hard to beat.

There are also plenty of rock/punk/underground/independent record labels that regularly release new music on vinyl. I'd recommend checking out labels like Lookout! Records, Empty Records, Dischord Records, Sympathy For the Record Industry Records, etc. www.worldwidepunk.com is a good resource for web addresses for these an LOTs on other indi labels. Keep in mind that the music that falls under the umbrella of punk now is a lot more diverse than just the Sex Pistols. If you're feeling adventurous, there's plenty there to keep you busy.

When perusing ebay, I have noticed that a lot of punk stuff is out on vinyl. Why is this? I can understand hip-hop and club releases on vinyl (for DJs), but why punk and core? Does VPI's biggest customer base have mowhawks and homemade patches?

I'm a semi-respectable member of the boring adult society with only a few tattoos to remind me of my punk rock youth. Maybe I'm not so far away from that as I thought.
