With the demise of the vinyl record grossly exaggerated, the fact is many people still believe that they will have a hard time finding vinyl recordsThe fact is vinyl records are readily available, if you know where to look.  (Also Look At My New Site www.buyvinylrecords.net )  This site has over 300 online vinyl retailers from all over the world.

Yes, you can still find vinyl records at your local rummage sales, yard sales, estate sales, resale shops and the like; and for some, that is even considered a fun and amusing way to amass a collection.  You could place an advertisement in your local newspaper or a record collecting magazine with a "want list".

But if you are serious about adding to your collection and adding premium vinyl records and rare vinyl to your collection, I have assembled many online sources for you.   To start with, the best place that I know of is:   Music Stack


You see Music Stack is not just one single online store, but a music shopping portal with over 3,500 independent record stores from all over the world that offer millions of rare vinyl records.
See the experts at Forever Vinyl.com who have access to or in stock over 2,000,000 out of print, rare music and collectible records and cds from around the world. They specialize in hard to find records, long out of print records from most record companies catalogs. 
A nice little online record shop located in western Canada, .Vinyl Encore sells quality used vinyl and I have found some gems here!
Vinyl Collective A great online site for the latest "indie" releases, I have made several purchases here for collectible records.  I picked up a fantastic Sublime picture disc and Lemonhead's releases here.  Tell Virgil I sent you on over!
Diverse Vinyl is the LP mail order department of Diverse Music, an independent record store in South Wales.  The mail order department was set up around April 1995 as it became obvious that large parts of the UK were not covered by stores selling LPs, and that vinyl buyers were missing out on a chance to buy new music.
