About this record
The Monarch Record Mfg. Co. pressing of this 1976 Cotillion release carries the suffix "-MO" stamped directly on the label, distinguishing it from other plants that manufactured SD 2-110.
Demand significantly outpaces supply: 679 collectors want this album against 473 who own one, yet only 14 copies trade below 11.12 USD across the market. The gatefold sleeve arrives with printed innersleeves containing full lyrics, a feature that affects both condition assessment and resale value.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire price ladder on this Cotillion pressing. A Mint copy commands 33.14 USD, while NM drops to 29.65 USD—a gap that reflects how rarely these survive unplayed.
VG+ copies stabilize at 22.68 USD, and VG specimens fall to 15.70 USD; below that, G+ reaches 8.72 USD and G bottoms at 5.23 USD. The current floor of 11.12 USD across 14 active listings suggests most stock clusters in the VG to VG+ range.
The want-to-have ratio of 679 to 473 indicates persistent collector interest despite the 1976 pressing date and Funk/Soul genre positioning. As a US Cotillion release pressed by Monarch, this sits outside the original-pressing premium tier but retains steady demand among soul and funk specialists.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by checking the label for the "-MO" suffix, which confirms Monarch Record Mfg. Co. as the plant.
The catalogue number SD 2-110 appears on both the front cover and label; the gatefold sleeve and printed lyric innersleeves are original to the release, not later additions. The 38-track count across both sides distinguishes this from any single-LP reissue.
Grade by examining the gatefold seams for splits, the innersleeves for foxing or adhesive residue, and the vinyl surface under bright light for hairline scratches that separate VG+ from VG. Play-wear on the opening and closing grooves is common; a truly Mint copy shows no evidence of stylus contact.
The absence of a barcode confirms the 1976 manufacture window before UPC adoption became standard on US releases.

Frequently asked
How do I confirm I have the Monarch pressing and not another plant?
Look at the label itself—Monarch Record Mfg. Co. added the suffix "-MO" directly on the vinyl label as a plant identifier. This marking appears on both sides. No matrix code or runout string is required; the label suffix is the definitive marker.
What is a VG+ copy worth today?
According to the price guide, a VG+ specimen is valued at 22.68 USD. This represents the midpoint between Mint (33.14 USD) and VG (15.70 USD), reflecting records that show light play but retain strong sound and minimal surface wear.
Why is demand so high relative to copies available?
679 collectors want this album while only 473 report owning one, and just 14 copies are currently for sale at 11.12 USD or below. The 1976 Funk/Soul catalog has become increasingly sought by both genre specialists and reissue-era collectors, outpacing the supply of well-preserved Monarch pressings.
What condition should I expect at the current market floor of 11.12 USD?
At 11.12 USD, expect VG or lower—likely G+ (8.72 USD) to VG (15.70 USD) range. Records at this price typically show visible play wear, possible light surface noise, and worn gatefold seams; the lyric innersleeves may show age or minor staining.
Does the gatefold sleeve and lyric innersleeves affect grading?
Yes. The printed lyric innersleeves are original to the 1976 release and must be evaluated separately from the vinyl. Foxing, adhesive stains, or splits in the gatefold seams lower the overall grade; a Mint vinyl in a VG gatefold typically grades as VG+ overall, not M.
