A much needed Black Music thread.

I bought my first vinyl record in ages the other day. It will come sometime in January. Showbiz and A.G. 1992 record Runaway Slave.
My goal for 2021 is to double my vinyl collection from about 20 to 40. I got rid of so much vinyl back in the 90's selling them at garage sales or used record stores. One of my biggest regrets. Those of you still buying vinyl what is your preferred store(s) in the GTA?

For me its not about the convenience factor its about the authenticity and nostalgia. I miss that record crackle. Vinyl isn't cheap - many of the records I'm looking at purchasing are in excess of $40. But I'm ok with that, even if CD's are so much less costly. I actually bought my first CD in a while last month - Remy Shand's 'The Way I Feel'. It cost $15.99 plus shipping.
I get the nostalgia factor, I have about 700 vinyl recordings, when I think about buying vinyl again I remind myself why CDs got so popular.
I also had hundreds of vinyl recordings going back to the first one I bought by the Everley Bros.in the 1950s. Man I am old.
Saw John Lee Hooker at the old Colonial Tavern on Yonge St. Two favs, Boom Boom and One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer. He was great. George Thorogood did a super cover of One Bourbon.
