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?

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. :)
