You don't need money to build a great collection. You need taste and patience. These 25 albums are all regularly available — new or used — for under $15.

From Dexx

Bin-diving specials, budget reissues, and records that are inexplicably cheap for how good they are. Prices fluctuate, but as of this writing, every one of these can be had for the cost of a burrito.
