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.

Sebrof, What color is Muddy Waters 'Folk Skinger' label?
The original would have a black label with white letters. Some of the original releases would have blue label, but would need to know the serial number to be precise. Also it may have UPC code as well on jacket as there were more than one repress versions of your album.

Reissues of MW are fairly easy find.
As popular a thing as vinyl has become (again), it is a bit of a rare moment to have a lucky streak like that anymore. I guess, on the up side, it's great to be here in the(so called)rebirth of the format and see so many vinyl conscious consumers. Like many, many of you, I never abandoned it.
Full set of the "Greatest Jazz Recordings of All Time" from Franklin Mint, unplayed/sealed (100 albums). Some great early recordings that's hard to find otherwise.
