LATEST UPDATES:
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.
APRIL 30:
Eagle eye Ben Belmares picked up a copy of "Monkee Flips" and noticed it had "1984"
on the edge of the label with the Rhino address. When this was reissued in 1986
that was removed, but
they
etched "RE-1" in the dead wax.
When trying to distinguish between the two pressings, the "1984" is much easier to spot,
rather than looking for the RE-1 or asking an ebay seller to look for it.
APRIL 23:
Thanks to Ed Reilly for providing the missing pictures from the Arista's Flashback series,
which was released in 1991 and promptly sank without a trace.
These almost never show up on ebay.
APRIL 22:
Here is the CD version of Infinite Tuesday courtesy of Ben Belmares:
At some point I'll get the vinyl up as well.
Still on the fence about buying it.
Thanks to the Monkees Almanac I've added a couple great
1969 RCA catalog pics to this site from
Lisa Manekofsky.
Cassettes
8-Tracks
APRIL 14:
Completely revised the Colgems cassette section with
all new photos from Ed Reilly's collection:
Of all the recorded media formats issued for the Monkees,
these are the hardest to find.
Thanks Ed!
APRIL 13:

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.
