LATEST UPDATES:
JULY 14:
Got a few Monkee promo records in from Spain:
and for Nesmith this "Silver Moon:
but for some reason RCA also released this promo only 45
with Nez and Jerry Reed:
JULY 9:
"Pleasant Valley Sunday" from Record World magazine
Copies of RW can be really tough to find; I've been looking for years for this ad;
too bad it's in B&W though.
Sheet music from Spain for "Tear Drop City" & "(Theme From) The Monkees" circa 1970.
Sheets are provided for quite a few band members: piano, trumpet
lead guitar, bass guitar, alto sax and tenor sax.
JULY 4:
Found a website that lists sales figures for all their USA LPs
up through the 3 box set for "The Monkees Present" I copied it to this page.
Also added list prices for all the Colgems LPs; which were under $5 up through "Changes".
In 1966 mono LPs were
priced $1 less than stereo.
But on June 1, 1967
(just after Headquarters was released)
RCA raised the suggested list price
for mono LPs to match the stereo prices.
They predicted (correctly) that would be the beginning of the end for mono releases
as they were completely phased out a year later.
However, most people didn't pay the list price as discount department stores such as
Montgomery Ward, Woolworth's and Thrifty offered discounts.
JUNE 30:
Today I added the 2 CD Monkeemania set which was released in the UK in 2011.
This set was released to coincide with the Monkees tour of England.
Also added the promo CD & letter.
Unfortunately, that letter continued to promote the urban myth
(created by Nesmith) that the Monkees outsold
The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined in 1967.
Thanks to Ed Reilly for all these photos!
JUNE 22:
Promo copy of the first Rhino Deluxe 2 CD set from 2007:
Canada's RPM Weekly magazine advertisement promoting
the
mono version of the 'Birds' LP
JUNE 19:
The "Someday Man/Listen To The Band" single from Mexico
JUNE 14:
Found the CRC single that I was missing from Chile:
The Monkees have only 3 known records on this Chilean label.
Perhaps they used these to gauge interest for the regular RCA releases.
JUNE 12: Big Nez week here!
Last month Music On Vinyl in the Netherlands released "Loose Salute" on clear vinyl

The recent 12 CD box set from Edsel Records
Also here is Nesmith's Pacific Arts Box from back in 2012:
And finally here is his European box set from back in 2015:
This is officially an EU release but since it was
manufactured in Germany I'm listing under that country.
Thanks to Ben Belmares for these pictures!
JUNE 10:
Recently I acquired the the program
for the 1967 Forest Hills Music Festival
and it had these ads for the Monkees:
The Monkees appeared on July 14, 15 & 16.
These are the last 3 dates
that The
Jimi Hendrix
Experience
opened for them.
Also re-organized the entire Advertisement section,
which had become very confusing.
JUNE 3:
Yellow vinyl version of this Iran EP:
