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?

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.
Whart: It's a WLP Asylum. Just wondering, does the Monarch have the song/timing label pasted to the front cover?

Here's a few more I forgot...

James Taylor: "JT", "Flag" WLP. absolutely amazing! $1.00 a piece.
For the best deal all time, this includes sonics, resale, hard to find... Van Morrison "Moondance" on Direct-Disk Labs... paid $15.00... Acoustic Sounds wants $150.00 for the same lp in great condition as mine is.

Fairport Convention "Chronicles", very nice copy, sounds fantastic, $5.00! Cover = M, Vinyl= M
Wow, I just remembered... Miles Davis ....

"Someday My Prince Will Come" Columbia 6eye mono, $1.00
"At The Blackhawk, San Fran..." Vol. 1.. Columbia 6eye mono, $1.00
"At The Blackhawk, San Fran..." Vol 1 @ 2, still sealed stereo re-issues, $1.00 a piece.

Carly Simon "No Secrets" WLP, $1.00
Whart: Thank you. It's these little "tid-bits" that you may find here that are not available elsewhere.
Slaw: no, not necessary, although your WLP may have been pressed at
Monarch. Monarch was a west coast pressing plant with a very good
reputation for punchy sounding pressings (obviously, much has to do with
the mastering). If yours has a timing strip, it does indeed sound like a WLP.
The reason I asked was because the early Asylum label was white and I
have an early pressing of Desperado on such a label (but it is not a WLP,
which should be a very early pressing).
I've been paying a lot more attention to all those little inscriptions in the
deadwax. :)
