Go to your local _good_ record store - the type

something else to scare away customers. Most carry a good selection of
sleeves, liners, labels, boxes, etc.. Prices will mostly be the same,
so it probably is not worth shopping around.
Are records still being made? I aussumed everyone was playing there
old, but very well cared for collections.
Some 33s and possibly some 45s are still being made, but AFAIK, they are
not sold in the US market.
Huh? Yeah they are. Just take a look through some 'modern' music on
cdnow.com... Lots of hip-hop and techno is released this way. Some DJs
prefer to use vinyl, because it sounds better, and (IMHO) is just more fun
to handle than these little optical digital pieces of trash :). I've
purchased a fair amount of vinyl (modern) music from cdnow.
There are even a fair number of 'real' music stores I've been in that
carry new music on vinyl.
So, yes, there is plenty of music sold on 33s and 45s in the US. You just
have to go for the right audience.
