I don't think I've bought any vinyl since 1999, when a small chain in this area closed down and I visited a couple of their stores. I came home from one with fifteen or sixteen discs. The only one that I liked much which wasn't a backup copy was a Doll by Doll LP.
Magma - Attack (2015 reissue) Blues Traveller - Save His Soul (limited ed. reissue on double marble vinyl)
Local used record store: Tower of Power - Bump City, original Warner olive label, VG+, $5. Recent Nonesuch 50% off sale: Wilco - Sky Blue Sky, YHF, and Ghost, all 2LP sets. ~$40 shipped
The local Zia Records store was having a half price sale on some of their old stock. I managed to find a couple of gems plus two used Led Zep LPs also. When all was said and done my Record Store Day-after purchases were... Camel - The Snow Goose (Music On Vinyl reissue) Iron Butterfly - Heavy (Mono reissue mastered by Bernie Grundman) Utopia - A Different P.O.V.

And the sickness continues.... Robert Plant - Pictures At Eleven (Japanese pressing - used) Steven Wilson - 4 1/2 (used) ZZ Top - Afterburner (used) Al Di Meola - Soaring Through A Dream (used)

A promo copy of T Rex's Tanx and this: I'm surprised at how much I like this. I figured it'd be good, but I've been playing it pretty regularly.
