for scratch. they make scratch vinyl. It's made out of a better material dat lasts longer. get oldschool music to learn how to blend. techno and ish. then build up ur arsenal from there. u can always mix on a CDJ. finding BPM for mixing is another problem... so.... What Vinyl was the question? Get what sounds good. Get something you know, or ur parents have laying in the attic. Something where u know what's gonna happen next. and ur off.
