Do you mostly buy used records from back when vinyl was the standard way of listening to music? Or do you also buy new releases?

I became interested in vinyl about a year and a half ago, and was exclusively looking for used records from the 60s and 70s. However, since vinyl has increasingly become the main way that I want to listen to music, I've been buying new releases now, too. My collection is still mostly older, used records, but I do pick up some new ones now and then. Most recently it was the Hades soundtrack and Lord Huron's new album.

Mine is a pretty good mix, I started my collection by nabbing my parents vinyls. So i started with a good bunch of older music. Today it's about 60% new 40% old.

Mine is more like 80% older, 20% newer. I try really hard to find new bands I like, but it's hard man. When I was in school, I used to laugh at the old timers who only liked those five bands they'd been enjoying their whole life, but really, I do that too a lot of the time. Every now & then though, I am surprised and find a new groove. Most recently, that was Pom Poko and Screaming Females.
