About this record
Monument's SLP 18099 pressing of Boots Randolph's 1968 jazz LP sits in a crowded secondary market: 27 copies are listed for sale across platforms, yet only 5 collectors actively want it against 171 who already own one. The price floor is 0.27 USD, but a Mint copy commands 5.93 USD—a spread that reflects the glut of available stock and modest collector demand for this particular US pressing.
What drives its value
The Monument SLP 18099 US pressing from 1968 trades on condition more than rarity. A Mint copy reaches 5.93 USD according to the price guide, while a VG+ drops to 4.06 USD and a VG falls to 2.81 USD.
The lowest asking price across 27 active listings is 0.27 USD, indicating that bulk stock and worn copies flood the market. Community data shows 171 users own this pressing against only 5 who want it, a ratio that suppresses secondary-market urgency.
The Australian Universal Summit reissue (SRA250-079) offers an alternative, but the US Monument original retains a modest premium. For dealers and collectors, this 12-track stereo LP functions as a bulk-lot filler rather than a sought acquisition.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the Monument label imprint and catalogue number SLP 18099 on the front cover and label. The 1968 US release is a stereo LP with 12 tracks in the jazz style.
To distinguish this from other Monument SLP 18099 variants (catalogue spacing differs in some pressings), inspect the label typeface and dead-wax runout area for plant codes or matrix strings; Monument used multiple pressing facilities during this period, and runout details can narrow the plant origin, though no specific matrix is documented in the primary release record. Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light for hairline scratches, the sleeve for seam splits and foxing, and the label for peeling or discoloration.
A Mint copy shows no surface marks and a pristine sleeve; VG+ allows light surface noise and minor sleeve wear; VG permits audible surface noise and visible sleeve creasing.
