What was the last vinyl you bought?

See title.

I got 3 when I last went to Fopp, actually.

Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
Gogol Bordello - Pura Vida Conspiracy (white, also including a 7'' and a CD)
Joanna Newsom - The Milk Eyed Mender

What about you?

I haven't bought vinyl in decades. I think the last one I purchased was Black Sabbath - Mob Rules.

The last vinyl I got was probably An Autobiography by Old Gray, but that doesn't count because I ordered it back in February and it just got here this past month.

So actually bought recently?

The Wild - Dreams Are Maps
The Front Bottoms - The Front Bottoms
The Wonder Years - The Greatest Generation
The World Is A Beautiful Place and I am No Longer Afraid To Die - Whenever, If Ever.

On Saturday I was doing some dollar bin surfing and I came out with
Yes - Going for the One
Yes - Tormato
Modern Jazz Quintet - Patterns

I like 2/3 of these albums and took a chance on all of them, so it's a good haul.

Probably more than half of my collection is due to dollar bins/thrift stores etc, I always say to myself "ok, I have a budget of "X" dollars then I wander to the record area and that all goes out the window. I have reaped the audiophile benefits from many an old person's passing.

Tormato has some good tracks, especially "On The Silent Wings of Freedom", but I wish there was some kind of Wakeman filtef for that album.

Going for the One had its moments (several, actually), but I don't like the cheese they're serving. I though that Tormato had better moments (although it came with a plate of cheese as well) and more of them than Going for the One, tbh. Judging by your post and the fact that I got Going for the One because I've seen the cover in so many places, this probably isn't a popular opinion.

GFTO is a better album than Tormato IMO, Awaken is a particularly good track. Tormato has up moments, esp Silent Wings of Freedom, but Wakeman's tone sucks throughout and Circus of Heaven is Jon Anderson at his touchy-feely worst IMO.

Neither are as good as the albums between The Yes Album and Relayer (which is my favorite Yes album). I like Tales From Topographic Oceans although I admit it's padded. They had too much good stuff for 1 album, not enough for two, but the good outweighs the filler for me.

Waiting for this one to arrive in the mail...

Fantastic album cover art by Alan Forbes. I may have to frame this one and hang it on the wall in my music room (after I record it!)

Wait, you plan on just ripping a vinyl to MP3... and then hanging it? That's it? Really?
