with the black numbers.

The project actually began back on July 28, 2020
with Andrew Sandoval cryptically posting images on Instagram

In the first photo you can see he wrote on the box
"7/25/20 Back In Sequence, Reinserted Spreads"

The note on LTTC indicates it had been cut out for
inclusion on side two of "Greatest Hits" COS-115.

Spreads are the spaces between the songs

----------------------

Then it was announced on the Run Out Groove website
with voting beginning on September 3

"The plan would be to have Andrew and Kevin Gray cut lacquers for the
standard album from the original analog tapes and the 2 LP set would come
in a deluxe tip-on style gatefold jacket with never before seen
photos and new liner notes from Andrew."

But based on the photos above the lacquers had already been cut
so if this project failed presumably Rhino would have
done something with it themselves.

Tip-on record jackets have the cover art printed on paper,
which is then glued to the cardboard. This is the way LP jackets
were originally made.

On October 9 it was announced the Monkees had won the vote
and it was now available for pre-order with the first 1000 customers
getting the transparent yellow vinyl version.
