Vinyl that is impossible to find

 

@slaw:

Thanks Steve. I’m a patient guy, so one will eventually come my way.

 

 

@jnovak: Fortunately Mason’s LP’s are pretty easy to find. I’ve picked up four of his locally in the past coupla years, each priced $5.

 

 

Hey, thanks Steve. I'd prefer an original (in black vinyl I presume), but a reissue is not out of the question.

 

 

Some titles are available on LP, but at a price I don’t care to pay. $200 for Levon Helm’s Electric Dirt, for instance. I saw a copy in 2010, but wasn’t buying LP’s at that time. Time machine, please.
