This thread is dedicated to really good records that don't turn up that often, and are usually priced/sold at under 20 bucks when they do. Terry Plumeri - He Who Lives In Many PlacesRecorded in '71, Herbie Hancock on Rhodes, Eric Gravatt on drums, and I forget who else. Such a good electric jazz record with great compositions, arrangements, musicians, and solos. Turns up in LA quite often, usually for under $10...Mal Waldron - The Call Waldron plays electric piano (his only such recording, I believe), along with electric bass, organ, and drums. From 1971 on the Japo, which I believe is a subsidiary of ECM. Obviously "Bitches Brew" inspired, with some lovely textures, tones, and solos on both of the side-long tracks. Boring letters on a white backdrop cover, really good music.Howard Robers - Equinox Express ElevatorReleased on ABC/Impulse in 1975, the music was recorded in '72/'73, and has a real cool psychedelic jazz feel to it throughout. Not really sought after for whatever reason, but a great record nonetheless.
Really Good Not-So Common Records Under $20

Very true. This turns up all the time in LA, usually for under 10 bucks. I'd say the same about Pete Jolly's "Seasons", which I've found 4-5 copies of last year all for under 10 bucks, but ebay prices seem to differ.

Hmm, I just started looking for this (Penuma) after reading The House That Trane Built recently. Thought it might generally go for more... good to know!
Maybe people look at that cover and think Blue Ash were just another early-seventies hard-rock band, but in reality this Youngstown, OH band brought the power-pop as well as the Raspberries or Big Star.
You know, this thread is saturated with jazz records as it is and I didn't wanna list another one, but Freddy Robinson's Off The Cuff album on Enterprise is a lost classic. Half soul-blues, half soul-jazz, worth hearing and always cheap, even if it isn't super common. I like his Enterprise records better than his earlier World Pacific Jazz records, which were basically soulful elevator music.
