The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees
Rhino Handmade Box Set


The box set is dated 2009, but was delayed until 2010.
Pre-orders began on January 25 and the official release date was February 8;
it was completely sold out by February 2011.

The bonus single was only available for the first 1000 orders. In addition,
the first 500 customers could also receive one of three vintage posters
for an extra $5 to cover shipping costs. These posters were from
Stroblight Productions (Gary Strobl) and from the 80s.


The single was shipped separately in a flat mailer and arrived about
the same time as the box set. Since they are all sold out, if you buy a
sealed box set it should be known that this single is NOT inside.

This box set was not limited or numbered,
but reportedly they produced 6000 copies for sale.

Rhino Press Release:

Rhino Handmade continues a busy 2010 with the long awaited release of the deluxe boxed set of THE BIRDS, THE BEES & THE MONKEES. The three-CD set includes mono and stereo mixes of the original album on individual discs, each expanded with rare and unreleased tracks. The third disc collects more than two-dozen unreleased tracks culled from the album’s sprawling sessions complemented by a number of rare recordings.

This Rhino Handmade exclusive release is available for pre-order now at http://www.rhino.com for $59.98 and will ship in early February. The first 1000 orders will come accompanied by a bonus 45 that includes two unreleased tracks: acoustic versions of “St. Matthew” and “Lady’s Baby.” Additionally, the first 500 customers who pre-order can also receive a vintage tour poster (while supplies last) for an extra $5 to cover shipping costs.

Originally released in 1968, THE BIRDS, THE BEES & THE MONKEES features a trio of Top 40 hits, “Tapioca Tundra,” the group’s sixth million-selling single “Valleri” and the #1 “Daydream Believer.” The deluxe edition was produced by Monkees historian Andrew Sandoval, who also contributes comprehensive liner notes. The set comes in a deluxe box featuring a 3-D lenticular cover as well as a replica Monkees button from the era.
