Monterose For the $2,000 Bin

Here’s a nice one coming up from Euclid Records: J.R. Monterose, Blue Note 1536. This is an original Lexington Avenue pressing. The record is VG++ and the cover is VG+. The current price is about $530. Speaking of J.R., one of his albums recently sold for more than $2,000: J.R. Monterose In Action, Studio 4 SS 100. This was an original pressing that looked to be M- for the record and VG++ for the cover. The price was $2,025, either enhanced or depressed by the signature of a local disk jockey on the back. Signatures can be tricky, especially if it’s not the signature of one of the artists. By the

way, we did a few interesting posts on J.R. Monterose this past summer, including a bit on the history of the J.R. Monterose in Action LP. You can find all of this stuff, including the earliest known clip of JR, just by doing a search using the search function at the top right of this page.
