From the Rhino press release:
A new compilation from The Monkees will be released on July 18.
"Summer of Love" includes 12 tracks that focus on the group’s
lesser-known
psychedelic side.
The collection will be released on LP (Red/White Splatter Vinyl) ($21.98) and CD ($7.98).
LP Track Listing
Side One
1. “Pleasant Valley Sunday”
2. “She”
3. “Porpoise Song” – Single Version
4. “Words”
5. “Star Collector”
6. “Birth Of An Accidental Hipster”
Side Two
1. “Take A Giant Step”
2. “Love Is Only Sleeping”
3. “Randy Scouse Git”
4. “Tapioca Tundra”
5. “Saturday’s Child”
6. “For Pete’s Sake”
At a minimum, I would have replaced "Saturday's Child" and "She" with "Daily Nightly"
and "Auntie's Municipal Court". However John Hughes from Rhino said
in a Zilch Facebook discussion: "Jumping in quickly to say this was meant to
satisfy a few different masters - a marketing focus on 1967 specifically,
leaning towards the psychedelic side to make it somewhat unique from other comps,
but it had to have enough "familiar" songs for the casual fan. We did our best."

A nice full page ad for their first LP from the
December 1966 issue of Screen Stories magazine.

My favorite part of the Monkees box sets is the single (go figure) so I was really
disappointed they left it off the last one; however very excited to see Rhino bring it back
for the upcoming "More Of The Monkees" Super Deluxe Edition:
From the Monkees Live Almanac.
MAY 14:
The 'Pisces' LP from Uruguay
Finally found a decent copy of this LP with it's unique jacket
featuring some pictures from the TV show. Uruguay is a small country
and RCA probably only pressed a few hundred of these; the original cover
makes it highly collectable.
MAY 8:
"Infinite Tuesday" on vinyl:
Thanks to Ben Belmares for the pictures!
MAY 4:
Found this one last weekend...sheet music from the USA published in August '67. I've never seen it before
and it's not in Marty's book, so assume this is quite rare.
In The Beginning...
When I started collecting Monkee 45s and EPs back in 2006 I spent quite alot of time searching the net to see what was out there. Typically, fan sites will show what records they've found locally, plus a few odds and ends. There was a handful of good sites like this (see links) but thats it.
Then there are online forums where old collectors will occasionally post photos of what they have found. Hoffman music forums is the best I've seen of this.
The bane of collecting is that once you buy it, it just sits in a closet and you never look at it again. So I made this site so I can look at my collection and share it and the knowledge of what is out there worldwide.
