Where to find new vinyl

www.diversevinyl.com

Great service and selection from this UK vendor. The turnaround time from order to receipt to the US is about 5-7 working days and they charge minimal for Air shipping.

Great source for new release vinyl, especially vinyl that's only pressed in the UK/Europe markets.

Thanks for the helpful responses, I already found a couple
of discs for my wish list.

What is the deal with 45 rpm? They cost twice as much as
33 rpm discs, why? I suppose theoretically they can put
more information on there, though the time per side would
have to decrease.

Thanks,
Mark

There are (often) twice as many LP's in the 45 RPM sets, some are even single side pressings. This explanation does not apply to all releases, but certainly to some that I recently purchased.

Glad you found some of the music you've been searching for.

I suppose I just need to get one and find out.

Also, what are some of your favorite current releases? I
picked up Story of the Ghost by Phish, which is perhaps
the best sounding rock release of all time. How do they
make vinyl releases these days; do they just take the CD
and make a record out of it, or do they generally remix?
How would I go about finding out... I'm going to find
the best Chopin releases next, that is why I really got
a turntable in the first place.

I'd like to hear what your favorite releases are too of
course.
