Another I picked up recently....Steppenwolf "Skullduggery" 1976/WLP
Never actually heard this one before but really like Steppenwolf. Their pp lps sound extremely good. So when this Mint looking lp popped up on my radar, I pounced. Finished side one and I can tell you I’m glad I own it. Great SQ. The songs maybe not quite up to their earlier standards but a hell of a rock record!

Sold my MFSL "White Album" yesterday. Paid for 1/3rd of the cost of my UK Blue Box. Very nice!
Up now...Norman Greenbaum "Petaluma".

The album’ name comes from Petaluma, CA, according to the lp jacket, was the largest poultry center and egg basket of the world in the 1920’s.
Moving forward, by way of an insert on this promo lp, "Norman Greenbaum, single-handedly moves to reverse the acid and heavy-metal movements in rock and roll with the power of acoustic instruments and forthright lyrics."

I presume this is a summary of his way of life going forward. BTW, there is included inside the record jacket, several pages of life & times along with drawings of his life on their farm. Kind of cool and rare.

Here we go....................
The last recent acquisition so far.....

ZZ Top "Rio Grande Mud" London/pp

While waiting on that one to US clean....

The Julie Ruin "Run Fast"..........hold on tight....................
Brian,

That’s great brother.

Just curious, does your copy have the glued in pages of inserts?
@6t5_gto,

Just sold my Rush "Permanent Waves" MFSL for $92.00.

MFSL lps are/were a good investment.
Hey boxer, I had pre-ordered 4 Silver Jews lps from Drag City....(2) are suppose to be on their way.
I own the OP, a Simply Vinyl pressing and this dbl/lp re-master and this 25th anniversary dbl/lp re-master is easily the better sounding version (Nirvana "MTV Unplugged in New York)
Well, I don't think it is a 1st pressing. It has a solid yellow label instead of a tri-colored label. It sounds better with phase inverted. Maybe, the OP was mono?
Tony Joe White "Polk Salad Annie" 50th Anniversary/12" Maxi-single/45 rpm/one side instrumental

TJW signed to Yep Roc a few years before his death. Apparently, he had recorded this prior and among others, it features a fellow named Robert Cray. This is limited to 500, I believe.
@boxer12,

He's "swamp" country. He is/was really one-of-a-kind, because there's never been anyone like him. I doubt there'll be another.
@tomic601 

I'm counting on it dude!

Nirvana "MTV Unplugged New York" 25th anniversary/dbl/lp
"wider grooves man"...
Hi @tomic601 ,

I waited until the last day to do my taxes, first time for that. I haven't heard from James.
Uber,

It's a toss up as to how much one likes her. I found myself liking it more this last session. I think "Metals" is sill my favorite by her. 
Dire Straits "Communique" MFSL/45rpm
(a biased mini-review)
This lp is on my all time favorite records of all time.
What can I say but...WOW! This one is KING!
Unlike the 'S/T" lp, everything is right here. This is how the recording process, the mastering process, the pressing process should be done!
Jackson Browne "The Load Out/Stay" 45rpm/maxi-single/1977

Tony Joe White "Polk Salad Annie"  45rpm/maxi-single/2019
