Since the albums of this era are seldom put out

If I buy new albums I can almost always get the album on vinyl. There is
being more released on vinyl then say 15 years ago. And there is also in
almost all cases more love being put into the vinyl release: better and
more artwork (especially when the album has been released as a double
45RPM LP), extra tracks, colored vinyl (yeah, you can discuss if that
deteriorates the sound even more) and download vouchers to get a digital
copy of the album. Enough reasons for me to buy as much albums on vinyl
as possible.
A friend switched to CDs only and he e.g. can't get "The Cry Of Love"
from Jimi Hendrix on CD, since production has stopped. He easily could
get the same old vinyl I've got.
I experienced, that e.g. the "I against I" and "Rock for Light" from
the
Bad Brains do sound much better on the original records, than on CDs I
heard.
