The guy almost laughed in my face. "I have no idea where you can still get those" was his helpful answer. Finally found a replacement online. I enjoy records not so much for the nostalgia, as this: you can find them dirt cheap, in infinite variety. Plus, artists used to record ALBUMS, not a single with a bunch of B-side filler packaged as an album. You're not gonna have more fun for a dollar than coming home from the thrift store with four vinyl records, recorded by people no one's ever heard of.
