For those who buy new releases on vinyl

What is the best source for knowing what new releases (ie, music which an artist is currently releasing, not reissues) are coming to market? Specifically, I'm interested in how best to tell if something I want will or might be released on vinyl so as to avoid buying the CD and then finding out that it's coming out on vinyl.

I just bought a Test recording at Jerry's in Pittsburgh. It was 45 years old and still new in the wrapper! I buy lots of NOS from there...

The Elusive Disc is also a good source for new vinyl, especially reissues.

The dealers know what's coming... I buy my new pressings from a local shop that sells LP releases, and the owner knows what is going to be produced in LP and when (the LP usually lags behind the CD release. I also buy from Elusive Disc, and they can also tell you what's coming. Occasionally, and counter-intuitively, an Amazon.com item will also list the LP version-- this is how I learned that the Robert Plant/Allison Krauss release will be followed by an LP.
