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?

Sebrof, What color is Muddy Waters 'Folk Skinger' label?
The original would have a black label with white letters.
It's an orange-ish color with a blue bar across, Chess label.

Slaw- on the Desparado, is it a WLP or simply an early 'white label' asylum- the first pressings of that record, pressed at Monarch, with the black inner sleeve, sound phenomenal (and still have that early Eagles country/western thing going, before they became an anthem rock band).

My lucky find is a 6 eye of Dave Brubeck time out but the real luck is that it is autographed by all the musicians on the back.
