Yes very hard to find.
Some places where I have had success are Antique stores, Vinyl stores, and thrift stores. There is always ebay of course but the thrill is in the hunt!
Well worth it though the sound on a good recording is simply outstanding and slays everything else in my opinion. Yet most of my time its vinyl that i listen to. Or late at night when I have had to much to drink and am lazy I still put on cd's for as long as I can stand it!
