About this record
The dead-wax stamp ABCX-757-A-RE-1 Λ △17067 identifies this 1972 Southern Rock pressing as a Monarch Record Mfg. Co. production for ABC Records.
Demand remains strong—66 collectors want it against 128 who own one—yet only 8 copies are currently listed for sale, keeping the market tight.
What drives its value
Navasota's Rootin' trades on condition more than rarity. A Mint copy reaches 51.71 USD, but the market floor sits at 15.83 USD for the 8 copies now available, reflecting heavy wear or damage.
Between NM (46.26 USD) and VG+ (35.38 USD), the drop is modest; the real cliff falls between VG+ and VG (24.49 USD). The want-to-have ratio of 66 to 128 suggests steady collector interest without scarcity panic.
As a 1972 US pressing from ABC Records on Monarch's equipment, it ranks as the original domestic issue—no reissue status inflates or deflates its standing. Southern Rock catalog depth means this title competes for shelf space; condition-driven pricing dominates over historical significance.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number ABCX 757 on the spine and label. The runout etchings on both sides—ABCX-757-A-RE-1 Λ △17067 on Side A and ABCX-757-B-RE-1 Λ △17067-X on Side B—plus the (MR) stamp prove Monarch Record Mfg.
Co. manufacture. No barcode appears on this 1972 pressing.
Grade by examining the vinyl surface under light: hairline scratches and light dust lower it from Mint (51.71 USD) through NM and VG+ (35.38 USD). Play-grading matters here—listen for surface noise during quiet passages.
A VG copy (24.49 USD) shows visible wear and audible pops but plays through. Below VG, groove wear becomes pronounced and playback suffers.
The 10-track Southern Rock format and ABC Records' mid-tier pressing standards mean these copies rarely achieve true Mint; NM or VG+ represents the realistic ceiling for well-kept examples.

Frequently asked
How do I confirm I have the Monarch pressing and not another version?
Check the runout etchings in the dead wax on both sides of the vinyl. Side A should read ABCX-757-A-RE-1 Λ △17067, and Side B should read ABCX-757-B-RE-1 Λ △17067-X, followed by the (MR) stamp indicating Monarch Record Mfg. Co. The catalogue number ABCX 757 appears on the label and spine. No barcode is present on this 1972 pressing.
What is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ graded copy is valued at 35.38 USD. This represents a record with light surface marks and minimal play wear, audible only under close listening. The estimate reflects market data as of the guide's publication date and may vary based on actual sales and local demand.
Why is there such a gap between Mint and VG prices?
A Mint copy (51.71 USD) versus a VG copy (24.49 USD) reflects the rarity of truly unplayed 1972 pressings from Monarch. Most copies in circulation show decades of handling and play. Collectors pursuing investment-grade or collection centerpieces pay the Mint premium; casual listeners accept VG condition at half the price. The 8 copies currently for sale at 15.83 USD lowest suggest heavy damage or play wear on those particular examples.
Is this the original 1972 pressing or a reissue?
This is the original 1972 US pressing on ABC Records, manufactured by Monarch Record Mfg. Co. The catalogue number ABCX 757 and the runout stamps confirm the first domestic issue. No reissue status applies, so you are acquiring the initial commercial release rather than a later repress.
How many copies are typically available for purchase?
Currently 8 copies are listed for sale across the market. This modest supply, combined with 66 collectors wanting the record against 128 who own one, indicates steady but not frenzied demand. Availability fluctuates; the tight supply may support prices near the VG+ range (35.38 USD) when examples appear.
