LATEST UPDATES:
OCTOBER 11:
The Monkees won the Run Out Groove popularity poll and it was announced
a couple days ago the 2 LP set was available for pre-order. I was traveling at the time
but thankfully I didn't wait to order one as the yellow vinyl version sold out in 12 hours.
Pre-orders are available until November 9.
OCTOBER 10:
Peter's solo LP to be reissued on 7A records:
USA pre-orders are not available yet
Release date is
December 4 (UK); 11 (USA)
OCTOBER 8:
Picked up some Japanese promos:
SEPTEMBER 22:
Over the years I've bought a few copies of the CD set The Best Of The Monkees,
but recently I realized that the second CD went through a couple pressings
before they got it right.
Which one do you have?
SEPTEMBER 18:
Recently found this RCA Victor Record club catalog from September 1967
The Casino Royale soundtrack (Colgems) made the cover
and this two page spread with 'teen' music has their first two LPs.
SEPTEMBER 17:
Japanese Bell cassette from 1974, The Monkees
SEPTEMBER 15:
On the heels of that last promo I found this one for the Anthology set from 1998.
It appears Rhino used the gold stamp/UPC punch hole from 1994 through 2003.
SEPTEMBER 10:
Mono Headquarters from the MGM pressing plant
HQ was the last LP that RCA farmed out to meet the overwhelming demand for records.
These are pretty easy to ID with the 1 1/4 inch ring inset
on the labels.
SEPTEMBER 8:
Found a promo & BMG club version of The Best Of The Monkees CD from 2003
A slash through the bar code doesn't mean much (because anyone can do that)
but the gold stamp on the booklet makes this a promo for sure. I had thought they
stopped doing these style promos after Missing Links 3 in 1996,
so I'm very surprised to find this one.
BMG club version. Sold without the slipcover but wanting to keep the overall look
of the set the same, they used
the guitar logo image for the front
of the liner notes.
SEPTEMBER 1:
Found this fantastic RCA catalog from June 1970
Every release on tape up through The Monkees Present.
Since Changes was released in July it just missed the cut.
