Xiekitchen and other Sabbath fans - Earmark records (Italy) has re-released much of the Black Sabbath catalog on 180gm vinyl, I have several of them and they're well worth it. Quiet, good quality vinyl and nice packaging. Easily available in US and not expensive. Hawkwind - wouldn't that be nice, it's hard enough to even find many of their releases on CD!
I agree with the OP, there has been much to celebrate lately in hard rock/metal on the vinyl front, and also live in concert - Heaven and Hell(Dio-lineup Sabbath), Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Rush are all engaged in top-quality tours - I've seen all of them lately and they are at the top of their game.
