Ok now a days a lot of bands have their music available to purchase on vinyl from their website, for a band that are vinyl lovers why can I not find their studio albums other than ten and backspacer on vinyl? On ebay they sell the older albums for outrageous amounts of money.

    backspacer will be hard to find on vinyl soon enough - just when i thought Avocado was fairly common, it now goes for over $125.......not too long ago, these were $30 all day

    damn! a couple of years ago, i posted that i was looking to buy a copy. a guy sent me one for free. he wouldn't even let me pay him for shipping or anything even though i offered to pay for the vinyl and shipping.
    If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

    i'm not so sure about this. the rest of the albums weren't available in such high numbers, at all the targets where the backspacers were...

    Thought I answered this, I think it's because the 'record store' is dying, saw someone say that the music industry is going full digital in 2 years?
    I bought Backspacer at Target and the kid that rang me up thought the LP was a poster book, when I told him it was vinyl, he still didn't get it. Poor kid...
    I saw lots of vinyl at the poster show, christmas singles, into the wild, no code etc. Find a really good record store that deals in vinyl, you can find whatever your heart desires!
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
