Album Description:
Originally released in 1966, THE MONKEES scored an amazing 78-week run on the Billboard® album chart, with 13 weeks at #1. Includes the #1 smash "Last Train To Clarksville" and the infectious "(Theme From) The Monkees," both written for the band by hit songwriting team Boyce & Hart. Also features Goffin & King's "Take A Giant Step" and David Gates' "Saturday's Child. " Disc 1's nine bonus tracks include previously unreleased alternate mixes of "The Kind Of Girl I Could Love" and "Papa Gene's Blues" plus a take of "I Don't Think You Know Me" featuring Micky Dolenz on vocals. Disc 2's eight bonus cuts include a previously unreleased demo version of "Propinquity (I've Just Begun To Care)" and a rare Kellogg's jingle. Each 2-CD Deluxe Limited EDITION features the original stereo album with bonus rarities on Disc 1, and the original mono album with even more rare treasures on Disc 2.

The weak parts of the album, to me, are the Davy Jones songs. Nothing against Davy, but he often got stuck with drippy ballads on the Monkees albums. A case in point would be "I'll Be True to You" (ugh) on this album. But, credit where credit is due, "I Wanna ... Read More

A middling album with a lot of uninteresting songs. How it ever became such a sensation is anybody's guess. The three stars are for the overall album as an interesting trove of different takes (different primarily, or exclusively, in who took the lead vocal on a given song), but really, how often you'll listen to the same album in stereo and then mono depends entirely on how rabid a fan you already are. However, what I find truly uncanny is not only that they were "fabricated" but that they got away ... Read More

This one is a mixed bag: on one hand it's great to have this collection of songs (my main reason for buying it was the song called "Laugh" [originally done by The Tokens], a delightful little piece of fluff that is so typically 1960s); on the other, it's a bit pricey - not only for someone interested in only one or two otherwise unavailable tracks but also because it is a 2-CD set that is essentially mirror-image redundant, i.e., both CDs contain the same tracks - the only difference being that one ...
