Score!

Finally managed to talk to one of the knowledgeable butchers in town today, asked him if he could get lamb breasts, and his answer was something like 'Denver ribs? Yeah, I've got three or four cases in the freezer. No one around here knows what they are and never buys them, so I don't put them out. How much do you want?" I bought a 4.5lb sealed cryopack (4 racks, half-racks? cant' see though the vacuum seal membrane well enough to count ribs) - he even knocked the price down from $5.99 to $3.99/lb.

It's not quite the same cut as what you get Luke, these are trimmed much tighter, more like a pork sparerib trimming job and no breastbones. But for the price and for as many apprentice butchers I've had to talk to who had no idea what I was talking about? Hellz yea!

Thawing in the refrigerator now. Tomorrow one or two of them go in the smoker.
