Anyone get any vinyl for Christmas?

New Stuff, Amazon:

Nick Drake, Bryter Layter - John Wood's remaster

Pink Floyd, Saucerful of Secrets - 2016 remaster

Pink Floyd, The Final Cut - new remaster, preordered (hugely underrated PF album in my, and apparently only my, opinion)

Original Stuff, Thrift Stores:

The Band, Moondog Matinee

Eric Dolphy, the Concert at Copenhagen

Supertramp, Brother Where You Bound

Triumph, Allied Forces (Never heard of, seems interesting at the least)

The John Benson Brooks Trio, Avant Slant (Never heard of, seems interesting at the least)

Sir Doug & The Texas Tornados, Texas Rock for Country Rollers (Never heard of, seems interesting at the least)

Carmen McRae, Haven't We Met?

Eric Clapton, Another Ticket (my fourth? copy, but can't NOT buy clapton for $1...)
 
My wife surprised me with some great vinyl this year: the new Stones (Blue and Lonsome); the newest Nora Jones; North Mississippi Allstars "Keys to the Kingdom"; Mark Knopfler "Tracker"; a Frank Sinatra collection. Yo Yo Ma doing music by the film composer Ennio Morricone. And, the really big surprise, she ordered the new Stones on mono vinyl collection. It's supposed to be shipped January 6. I might be forgetting one, but I'm at work. And, my younger step son gave me a great rack for holding CDs and records. It has shelves on opposite sides and has castors, so I can rotate it to get to the other side. He works in a music store and it was a display piece they were going to throw out. When I get a chance, I'll post a picture of it.
 
I got some booker T and the Mg's, Mike Bloomfield live, and live in Gilmore , the revivalists, and 2 Lumineers,,
 
My wife got the following:

Miranda Lambert - The Weight of These Wings
First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar
First Aid Kit - Stay Gold
Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger

I only got one album:

A Tribe Called Quest - We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service

That being said, I did buy myself the latest Bowie boxed set in October, so I'm on a bit of a forced vacation from buying...

My son and oldest daughter gave me:
The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Greg Allman Live: Back to Macon, GA
Machine Gun Jimi Hendrix The Fillmore East First Show 12/31/69
 
Only one I actually got for Christmas is

Jimmy Durante - Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer/Santa Claus Is Comin to Town

A 78 rpm from 1950 that is fairly scarce. My father and I have liked Durantes version of "Rudolph" for a long time.
 
We just got back and had gifts last night. Wife got me Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde. Mono Reissue. Eric Clapton - Forever Man and a AT 440 Mlb too.
 
My son surprised me with Back to the Future Soundtrack on 2 lps set..I haven't received an lp for Christmas in 25 years---OH BOYBTTF2_MT_1024x1024.jpg
