I got this at E.J. Korvettes for $1.59! What a deal! Again: this is my LP review, NOT the Rhino Reissue.Micky rox with She/ Davy sings When Love Comes Knocking at Your Door.Micky gets down & dirty with Mary Mary! Cool!
Davy with Hold on Girl. Peter is silly with Auntie Grizelda. Then Micky jams with I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone. Side 2 starts with Davy & Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow). Mike Yeehahs with the Kind Of Girl I Could Love.Davy's a drag in the Day We Fall In Love. Micky's calm for Sometime in the Morning. Davy & Company with Laugh & we conclude with I'm a Believer (written by Neil Diamond). Great 60's fun.

I just don't have the patience to type out a complete commentary about this favorite album of mine, which is in the top of my list of fave albums I grew up with as a child, and one that had a major impact on me.
But, to those Monkees die-hards and collectors of all their recordings, this re-issue is practically worth it alone for the 2 bonus track stereo mixes: The out-take of "I'm a Believer" on disc 1, is like hearing the song for the first time again, (albeit a different vocal take) being in an amazing stereo mix, the way I wish the regular version sounded like. It's great to really hear Neil Diamond's acoustic guitar so clearly.
Same goes for "Look Out", the stereo mix with the organ break in the middle and count-in, on Disc 2. I was blasting it on my car speakers the other day- it's like a whole new song.
Get this and the first album re-issues. The gathering of so many bonus tracks from the time are worth it alone. Both re-issues are definitive.

More of the Monkees" is truly a wonderful album and this Rhino deluxe edition really shines. From the first bars of "She" through the ultimate garage rock classic, "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone" this album exhibts the pure "ear candy" that has turned on fans for 40 years. To put in perspective how popular this album was and is, in 1967 and 1968 it was in the top album charts for 70 weeks, and was again a top ten album for 13 weeks in 1986 upon the LP reissue by Rhino Records. In addition to the stereo and mono album versions, this deluxe edition compiles the remaining 1966 recordings including alternate versions of Monkee classics such as "I'm a Believer." In addition, the packaging is wonderful and features rare pictures and insightful liner notes by the foremost Monkee expert and author Andrew Sandoval (he also helps research and compile the tracks for all of Rhino's Monkee projects). Get this collection and "The Monkees" deluxe edition also.

I'm now convinced that Rhino Records should re-release every album ever made. Beautiful packaging, wonderful audio. The only thing is that the bonus tracks recorded during this era aren't quite as good as the ones found on 'The Monkees' (as that special edition contains quite a few Nesmith-produced out-takes). "Kicking Stones" could be the absolute worst example of their recorded output. But for a completist, it is an essential purchase, as all the tracks that have been previously scattered over countless rarities disks are finally all in one place. The original album is handled with loving care and sounds better than ever...if only they could've gone back in time as well and removed the incredibly, painfully cheesy "The Day We Fall in Love" from the original release, we would have had the perfect example of 60's bubble-gum pop to last for the ages.

I had my first crush on Mickey Dolenz. This was the first album I ever bought at the ripe old age of 9. It is amazing to think I thought these guys were so awesome. Most of the songs are teeny bop as to be expected. But some of them actually do transend the generations and remain timeless classics but not all of them!
