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.

I have 3 or 4 older albums, and all the rest I buy when the band announces the new album. I almost exclusively collect records to support bands that I like.
