Not sure I'd call any of these "fresh" but they are the latest in my collection...
Whenever I'm visiting Florida, I make a point to stop by Bananas Records in St. Pete and spend the afternoon digging through their two bajillion records they have out for sale. I built up my collection about 10 years ago when I lived there and would regularly hit up their $2.99 room was filled with bands like The Cars, Huey Lewis, Heart, etc. It's... not quite that good a selection these days, but I can still find some decent stuff cheaper than I would find back home in Virginia.
Speaking of Heart, that copy of Magazine is the OG version released without the band's approval that was eventually recalled. It didn't come from the $2.99 room but was still only five bucks.
And on the topic of forbidden music, two of those three Erroll Garner records were released without his consent during his lawsuit against Columbia Records. After he won his lawsuit, the albums were recalled, never to be released again. There are probably about two dozen people out there who care about those albums, but I count myself among them so am happy to finally have them in my unnecessarily large collection of Erroll.
Lastly, that coverless Blue Note is Lou Donaldson's Alligator Bogaloo. The record is in great shape... just missing that cover!
Edit: I forgot to include Ahmad Jamal's "But Not For Me" in the pic, Just pretend there's another random 60-year-old jazz record and you're all set.
