Hard-To-find Vinyl- Lucky finds


Over the past month, I've been on a lucky streak of finding some rare and hard-to-find first pressings in Near Mint condition at great prices. The interesting part is the following finds were at the same record store!
1. Mark Knopfler- Ragpicker's Dream 2002;
2. Shirley Griffith‎– The Blues Of Shirley Griffith: Saturday Blues 1965
3. Buena Vista Social club - Self titled 1996; and
4. Jakob Dylan- Seeing Things 2008.

What great LP finds have you purchased lately?

At an antique pavilion my stepson found an opened but possibly unplayed Japanese pressing of Pink Floyd's 'The Wall" for $10.

On eBay a woman was selling some private stock of her recently deceased father, a former DJ. I got several unplayed "for broadcast only" Verve pressings, such as the Ella (Fitzgerald) and Louis (Armstrong) duets, both volumes, plus some same-era Buddy Rich (I'm a big fan), and comedy albums of that era.

Not a big steal, but I got an early '70s Columbia reissue of "Kind of Blue" in NM condition for $8, and it rivals my Classic Records 200g reissue.

I got 18 box sets from Time-Life's "Great Men of Music" series at $1 ea. at a thrift shop. All were virtually or actually unplayed with 4 LPs per set. These were all reissues of Living Stereo recordings.
