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.
Oh Shoot, I forgot about the whole DJ/HipHop/twin-turntable scratching
thing. I guess they have to get records somewhere, although, I suppose
there DJ needles don't ruin records as fast as what an audiophile would use.
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.
Maybe I'll have to dig around. I really need to get the stuff to align
my needle, balance my tone arm, etc, first, though. I also need to
figure out why my tonearm doesn't lift fast enough, before it moves back
laterally, at the end of a record.
