Where do you buy "NEW/Current" LPs?

I am thinking of breaking out my turntable again and was wondering if there are any places where one can buy current/new LPs? I know there are mail order LP shops but all of their LPs seem to be reissue. Giving that I don't like classical my choices are limited. I have a small LP collection of about 300 LPs but all of those are from the 80s and 90s. Can one buy anything new from today artist? Or is it time to sell the LPs and do digital 100% since that seems to be where all the new music is?

Please I don't want this to turn into LPs vs. CDs as which sound better. I am just looking for a source of current LPs from today's artist.

My music choices are Jazz (Traditional and Smooth), Blues, Gospel, R&B.

Thanks....

I live in Milwaukee and have at least 5 lp sources for used and new releases. I remain pleasantly surprised at the selection of NEW titles released. Weekly, releases of progressive rock come available. Also, some pop; occassionally jazz and reggae re-issues; a spattering of soundtracks. Check out this website: http://www.atomic-records.com/

As others have suggested, search the internet. And your local record shops.

As well as the online outlets like Music Direct, Acoustic Sounds, Elusive Disc and Red Trumpet I have also used the following Ebay stores:

Mymusicfix
auralexploits
soundstagedirect
Good Vibrations Records
Emerald City Audiophile

There are lots of stores on Ebay and some of them have a huge selection of the more obscure or imported records. A lot of new releases are never picked up by the "gang of four" above so Ebay is always another place to look. I'm from the UK and for new UK music on vinyl, Ebay is the best (save going to England).

Cheers, Nick.
