(Courtesy of Ed Reilly)
Also added some cassettes from New Zealand
and Greece
MAY 29:
Some recent acquisitions; two Arista 8-tracks
Greatest Hits
More Greatest Hits
MAY 28:
A new find from the Philippines, Then & Now on cassette
May 27:
Rhino has scheduled another pressing of their Greatest Hits for release on June 23.
This was originally announced for release way back on August 23, 2019
just a few months after the "limited edition" of orange vinyl was released.
Perhaps it didn't sell as well as they wanted and now they have finally run out?
Anyway, this time it's on black vinyl
$21.98
MAY 7:
Added today - Headquarters from Venezuela
And this one from Japan on the Bell label, a stamped "Sample record".
Could this have been an early promo?

Also added the unique Japanese booklets for the Head & Present SDE box sets

All 3 label versions
APRIL 30:
As this is the 55th Anniversary of the Birds LP, Friday Records recently hinted that
they were going to release this LP in mono
as a standalone.
Previously this only available as a part of their 5 LP Mono Box Set.
Rhino is offering up some tie in shirts, poster & a mug for sale as well:
Recent finds:
The Italian version of this RCA Stereo 8:
Exciting Performances Of Monkees & Beatles Hit Songs
and from Spain...Pool It! on cassette
APRIL 19:
Re-Focus from Japan (April 1973) original sold at ¥2,100. Jesus Galeote found
a later pressing with the updated price change to ¥2,300 as a sticker on the jacket.
Japan changed the prices beginning in January 1974.
Now Michael Sievers has found one with the ¥2,300 printed on jacket.
Bell Japan reissued all nine of their studio albums in 1973-74,
so it's not too surprising that this LP got a second printing.
In addition, the ¥2,100 price found inside the gatefold was removed altogether:
APRIL 16:
All the photos for Nez's Ranch Stash on the 7A label

APRIL 15:
Found a black cartridge version of the RCA music service version for Then & Now...
Insert found in later mono copies of More Of The Monkees from Mexico
(Courtesy of Michael Sievers)
It says this record is compatible with all turntables (meaning stereo).
This kind of note didn't appear on US records until the Head soundtrack (November 1968).
Added a new page for the Arista LP Greatest Hits from Spain.
APRIL 9:
As of today The Headquarters SDE is still listed as in stock at Monkees.com.
However a few people
are reporting that orders placed in February & March
have still not shipped,
so this may indeed be sold out.
APRIL 8:
New addition to the South Africa RCA page, photos of the incredibly rare Barrel Full of Monkees LP
(Courtesy of Stephen Wright)
The labels showed up a few years back on Discogs. However the person submitting
them
did not have the jacket and thought they were from Australia.
After some discussion
we thought they actually were from South Africa
and Stephen's recent acquisition confirms this.
Other countries, such as the Philippines, may have also released this,
but no copies have ever surfaced.
After 50+ years new discoveries are still being made!
APRIL 1:
Added much better photos of the elusive Davy Jones Presents Dickie Goodman record
(Pictures courtesy of Ed Reilly)
Now the hunt is on for a promo copy.
The Monkees Mini-LP Scoop picture sleeve with an "only 99p" sticker.
No idea what the original price for this was.

The Nez Ranch Stash reissue from 7A was released last Friday,
which was a little early and a nice surprise. Hopefully some pictures coming soon!
