In terms of vinyls in Australia (I guess I will serve as the Aussie correspondent here), it is quite rare to find good quality vinyls in Sydney at least although there are a few stores in Newtown that serve as my library every time I am down in the area - there must be at least 5 second-hand book/CD/Vinyls stores on this road and I love it! The quality is not the best, in comparison with the vinyls that I have collected from Radio record sales as well as my father's collection which has some amazing records.
On the topic of listening, I have to say that vinyls is my preference and i try and find vinyls of new records too (often means buying them from the US) but the quality of the recording of both old and new issues is amazing, and I just can't get enough of the crackling and intimacy of the old vinyl recordings.
At the moment, I pulled out my Original of Led Zeppelin IV and it is a dime to listen to. I also have an original Imagine album and that should be also just as amazing.
