When I setup my TT I initially did the same, looked for all my favourite records on vinyl, was shocked at the cost, and spent days contemplating spending £60-100 a pop on near mint copies.
But after a while I came to the same realisation as you and ended up just getting stuff I've not heard before. The main benefit of vinyl to me is that buying physical media makes me search for music, while streaming just leads me to lazily put on the same stuff over and over.

Same here, always thrilled to find something that I didn't know before and sounds so nice on vinyl. I'm not a 'junkie' as in: spending loads of money on rare stuff and digging crates every weekend. Older music I don't have on vinyl I just keep streaming while on the look out for a bargain via second hand sources, no hurry.

Well, good news! Random phone call with a mate and I mentioned my grief about the record - turns out I leant it to him, rather than sold it to someone (who promised to get me the cash when he had it, never came obviously).
Sadly it doesn’t look like I’ll ever get back half of AFX’s hangable auto bulb EP. £75 now.
Time to look forward and not back. Trying to get hold of old records I’ve misplaced along the way seems like it will be a depressing and expensive endeavour.
Just had a look at getting the Artificial Intelligence vol 1 compilation. I’ve got vol 2 already. But at £80, I’m unlikely to get the full set!
