MoFi/Reprise "Sinatra's Sinatra"
Speakers Corner/Impulse "Johnny Hartford and John Coltrane"
Speakers Corner/Verve "Getz Gilberto"
200g Classic Records/Mercury "Balalaika Favorites"
200g Classic/Everest 35mm "Pines/Fountains of Rome"
200g Classic/Chess "Muddy Waters Folk Singer"
180g Classic John Lee Hooker "The Healer"
Analogue Productions/RCA Living Stereo 2x45 version of "The Power of the Orchestra" (Pictures at an Exhibition and Night on Bald Mountain). This is the best orchestral record I have, period.
MoFi/Mercury Rod Stewart: "Every Picture Tells a Story"
Half-speed mastered LP version of Gary Burton/Chick Corea/Pat Metheny "Like Minds"
At a used record bin at an antique pavilion I got several great-sounding records at about $1 each, including Bonnie Raitt's "Nick of Time" and "Paul Simon's There Goes Rhymin' Simon."

I got Dick Hyman Age of Swing 45 rpm and some good sounding 33's for a buck or two at my local record store.

Echoing some already named:
Bon Iver - For Emma Forever
The National - High Violet
Decemberists - The King is Dead
Beach House - Teen Dream
Grizzly Bear - Vekatimest
Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
Radiohead - King of Limbs
Vampire Weekend - Contra
Yo La Tengo - Popular Songs

Not all new in 2011 but very high quality and new to me!

Destroyer Kaputt , the antithesis of the name, 80s electronic at its best, great song writing. Also MGMT congratulations , awesome.
