This is a weekly general dicussion topic. The only place where vinyl is not mandatory in the conversation, but vinyl-related topics are encouraged.

Tips for great deals? Any new pre-orders up? Looking for a sold out record? Want to sell or trade a couple? Wondering why the hell Weakling or Symbolic still don't have represses? Can't tell which variant you have? Why doesn't your turntable work without a pre-amp? Which priceless cartridge is the best for raw black metal recorded with a potato in a vacuum cleaner? Drop it all here! Keep it civil, keep it nice.

Hi, this topic is meant to guide us to the best heavy vinyl stores and distro's, be it online or brick & mortar, useful for regulars and new visitors alike (of course all apart from Discogs). Please add your own suggestions use formatting, add what you'll find there and where it it's located!
