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 definitely agree on that last point. While I do find something satisfying about knowing that this record from the 60s was made back when the band was first getting big, that does mean it inevitably has some pretty poor sound quality.
