I am starting to get back into vinyl now that I got a new record player today (Crosley Cruiser). Where can I find a list of new albums of classical music released on vinyl/LP format? Not compact disc.

On Amazon Canada, set the search bar to Music, then click on Go without typing anything into the search field. It will now say Music: CDs and Vinyl and under that will be a number of sections, one of which is a New Releases section. Click on it, then on New on Vinyl. Finally, at the left, the genres will be displayed: select Classical.

Just go to a swap meet. Classical vinyl generally sells for a buck or two a disk. If you see higher prices, you are looking in the wrong place. The exceptions are original pressings of Living Stereo, Mercury Living Presence, Six Eye Columbia, etc. But all of those have been released on CD in better sound quality, so it doesn't matter.

My focus is trying to find classical vinyl release for anything released after 2008... not just vinyl from the back in the days era.

I know that DG is pressing new albums on vinyl.

But no Hilary Hahn!

No doubt that's what I'm using iTunes for and just buying vinyl sparingly.

So the flat earth society is back with a vengeance, no doubt one will soon be able to pay extra for the clicks pops and scratches inherent in the format, just to ensure authenticity. I still have my record player and vinyl now stored and only used in the very rare cases where something has not been digitally remastered and reissued.
The only thing I miss about the glory days of the 12" LP are the sleeves and the beautiful booklets that accompanied them.
But listen who am I to judge and enjoy the trip down memory lane after all its your money and I am sure you will convince yourselves that it does sound better.

This suggests a vast new middle market. Clicks, pops, scratches, flutter, wow, and rumble can all be engineered into a CD master recording pretty easily. Even inner-groove distortion can be added at the usual strategic points. All in the convenience of the CD format, and you don't have to buy new equipment to play it!

This brings a whole new meaning to "remastered". Any entrepreneurs out there? :)

I tried to locate a copy of 4' 33" on vinyl but no luck there. I guess that I will have to stick to the iTunes download.
