@faustuss I wish you all the best in your pursuits to Purchase Vinyl a First Issue. Repress, or so called Master Cut. The items off interest are today only available in what is referred to as being a Niche Market.
I Vinyl Sales does not change the Marketing Evidence that CD Sales are increased over Vinyl Sales as a Hard Medium and Data Medium is now exponentially advanced in Sales to both Hard Mediums.
Resulting in Data Medium Only Albums being produced as new Artists release their work.
Data Medium and CD are easily able to be found from New Artists released work.
The Least Easy to be found is a Data Medium - Vinyl Album as the marketed material from New Artists.
To support New Artists I buy from Bandcamp and Crowd Fund., it is in these portals I witness my realistic option on a purchase of recorded music.
Artists selling on such portals get very fair remuneration from sales achieved. Why go to the expense of producing Hard Medium, if Data Medium is seen to be a sufficient remuneration from gross sales achieved. Artists are better off investing their time in creating new material to sell.
Creating Product that is a Hard Medium Commodity, when not selling to the produced capacity might end up in a Landfill.
I encourage the Notion of fair remuneration and Data Files as the Merchandise most commonly made available. .
Leave Vinyl and CD in their rightful place, which is Obsolete and Superseded.
As a Supporter / Advocate of the Circular Economy, I say "Hats Off", to anybody practising and showing interest, where keeping Olden Produced Hard Medium and the required Olden Produced Replay Equipment in use, and not encouraging it is sent on to a Landfill.
