Heh, collecting vinyls eh? I'm doing that as well, or rather, they just come to me. The cruel irony is that most of my collection is from the classical and romantic period, the two periods I'm not that crazy about. Oh well, I have them and I can enjoy them. It's very difficult to find vinyls of Satie or cotemporary classical, at least the way I'm looking for them, which is yard sales. I could spend a lot of money of ebay and the likes, or in record shops but I don't have a lot of money, heh.
If you really want to get into classical, here's an amazing wikipedia chart showing most notable western composers in chronological order. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_classical_music_compose... This is seriously an amazing chart, and makes me glad Wikipedia exists. Just looking at this list reminds me of several other composers I really like (Charles Ives, for instance. Great American Composer). With all this, you're pretty much set for finding all sorts of great composers and new tunes to have stuck in your heard.
