Don't worry about it Mike, we've got Drumbeat, and there are similar shops all over the country. If I never bought a new release ever again, there would still be plenty - I know I haven't scratched the surface of what's good out there.
As for future generations, I sort of agree with John (Crackles), though I think most youngsters are too thick/lazy/impatient to bother with vinyl. But appreciation will hopefully come with maturity. And there are plenty of them buying vinyl anyway, though I suspect many will not even use a record player and just use them to decorate their walls - a good source of nearly new stuff for future enthusiasts.
This is my hope, as I have two daughters who will inherit all my shit. One of them is getting into Fleetwood Mac and Bowie, so she should be ok, the other can't even sit through an entire song on MTV without switching channels.
I reckon CD's are a goner though.
