I am an original Monkees fan. My friends and I knew all the songs and all the episodes and had numerous discussions about which one was the cutest. We were 11 or 12 years old, the perfect age for the kind of music and antics The Monkees brought to the TV screen. Every song I remember and then some is included in this collection. It is packaged really well; though it won't fit on a small shelf with your other CDs, it looks great as a coffee table book.
One of my favorite songs that I haven't found on any other collection is "I'm Going to Buy Me a Dog," and it's on this one. I highly recommend this set to anyone who was in love with The Monkees in 1966-1968.

I hope I can change this review soon, But as of now I am very unhappy! With CD # 4 missing and damage to the "Music Box" CD holder I am most displeased.

If you are a Monkee fan then this is a must.
There are 4 CD's with a fabulous presentation book, with info on the songs.
The music is a great history on the band.

This is really a great box-set. I think it has it all - 99 tracks!! Obviously all the hit-singles, the majority of their best album tracks, rare b-sides, lots of outtakes, alternate versions and even tracks that have never before been commercially available.
The Monkees made some great recordings: especially from 1966-68. They released at least two classic albums, ( 1967's "Headquarters" and "Pisces, Aquarious, Capricorn and Jones Ltd." . Bandmember Mike Nesmith was/is a terrific songwriter and producer, and he was one of the often overlooked pioneers of country-rock. As TV-stars they were supplied with great material by some of America's most talented songwriters like Goffin/King and Neil Diamond.
The 100 pages CD book contains a very detailed band-history, great photos and extensive notes about every song.
Unfortunately the book is not made very solid; it has to be treated very carefully or the pages will get loose and fall out.
If you are not a completist, this box is actually all you need if you want the essence of the Monkees.

I found the quality of the first 2 cd's in this collection to be extremely poor. The songs have a "tinny" sound and at times the snare drum and tambourine seem to overpower the vocals. I don't think it's a limitation of the source tape as I've had other Monkees cd's that sound better. The 3rd cd is a little better, but I would not purchase this set due to the poor production quality.
