What was the last vinyl you bought?

Alright now for some vinyl. If you read the above post you'll see I purchased the Cold Pumas album Persistent Malaise on vinyl, and I won't repeat it here. The rest, including what I picked up on RSD:

Built to Spill - Untethered Moon (2015)
Hell yes, I was anticipating this vinyl release more than anything on RSD. I went to the shop around 11am, and waited in line about an hour for it while others were picking up limited releases. Luckily it came with a CD, as opposed to a download code, so I was able to toss it in the car stereo as I drove around the rest of the day. I enjoyed the album and have played it 4-5 times already, thanks Doug!

Kurt Vile - Constant Hitmaker (2008)
Never heard this one and ran across a used copy. I'm trying to be selective about what I get on vinyl but sometimes you just gotta take a gamble. First side seemed good, but last night I started the second side and wasn't so into it so I shut it off and put the Built to Spill record on again. It was sounding like throwaway home recordings, I'll have to try again some other time.

Panda Bear - Tomboy (2012)
Found a used copy of this on white vinyl. Sweet.

Chad VanGaalen - Diaper Island (2011)
Another used find, something I've been looking for for a while.

Bauhaus - In a Flat Field (1980)
Favorite Bauhaus, thought it would be nice to have on vinyl.

The Doors - Waiting for the Sun (1968)
Used 1968 release with a well-worn sleeve but the record looks good. Not a massive Doors fan but it's a good one to spin on vinyl once in a while, and on my recent Doors exploration and tended to like this one a lot.

Lou Reed - Transformer (1972)
Great album, of course, and this one happens to be red and in great condition. So that's cool and I bought it.

Grizzly Bear - Horn of Plenty (2004)
I'm not sure I'd heard this one before. As I was out shopping on RSD, my girlfriend texted me a pic of this asking me to find it. It's a limited repress on leopard vinyl. I found it! Heard most of it and it's decent, but I prefer Veckatimest-era Grizzly Bear. I need to get that one on vinyl.

Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues (1983)
The reissues are like $25 so I was happy to find this used one for about $11. Remain in Light is what I'd really like to get, but this is also a great one.

The Kinks - The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (1968)
These reissues are also really expensive, but this new copy was cheaper than I've seen it anywhere else, even online. And hell it's an amazing album, must have.
