What was the last vinyl you bought?

Arrived today in the post:
Yesterday's purchases
TRUTH LP (VINYL ALBUM) EUROPEAN EMI 2013
Today's purchase
It came with nice CD quality FLAC downloads (instead of more common MP3s which is nice for a change).
Bert, I followed your advice (in the other thread) and listened to some of the tracks in the net before buying. This is fresh enough for me since I only have a couple of other items from this band before.
I purchased the Dream Theater album last week and am enjoying it, well worth the punt.
Okay, now I am curious. I might have to buy this after all to give it a try.
Do some pre-listening. I am a fan for almost 20 years and I was not totally impressed by the album, it was for me a wall of music and a lot of combinations of known tricks.... It doesn't mean that I wouldn't have bought it and also not that I suggesting you shouldn't - but it's for me not a typical blind buy..
Just put it on. Sounds pretty good so far.
Uncensored cover version.
Succumbed to the hype and pulled the trigger.
+1
Purchased yesterday, scheduled to arrive Saturday
Hot off the press.
Curious to hear what the latest Decca digital pressing sounds like.
Awesome '64 record by Eric Dolphy, on alto sax and bass clarinet. Re-issue.
I bought random access memories, I feel that it has instant appeal but no depth and now I am bored with it. Will not be listening to it again.
The 2nd album by Antlered Man
Third album by - These New Puritans: Field Of Reeds

This is a misquote.
The vinyl arrived today and the production notes states that this was recorded directly to the ANALOGUE tape ( done by Willem Makkee ) with no editing.
This is one of the earlier Schumann's Piano Concerto recorded with Alex Gauk. The most famous ones were the DG's Rowiki and Philips Matacic but I much prefer this earlier more youthful performance. Recorded sometime in the 50s in Moscow, hoping this pressing sounds a bit better than my poor Vox below historical grade reissue.
This collection of French electronica from the 1970s, a double album on Because Music - hand-numbered, transparent vinyl with free CD.
I bought it yesterday because I popped into the new HMV shop at 363 Oxford St (quite a nice shop but the vinyl section is really weedy) and this was the only thing that really caught my eye.
All signed by members of the group after gig last night, £12 each, a bargain

Second hand today

Some great music there. Enjoy!
This arrived today.
3 Stereo 6 Eyes vinyl are contained in this lucite box looking a bit like a giant CD jewel case.
It contains his '60 Le Sacre and Petruchka plus his narration on production notes. The records look to be unplayed. It also comes with a beautifully designed brochures complete with typographical specs which is very unusual.
This arrived today - the Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henrickson, "Places of Worship" on vinyl (plus a free CD). I bought on the strength of hearing one track on Stuart Maconie's "Freak Zone", and on the recommendation of Adrian (Lontano) of this forum.
Looking forward to hearing it later...
