DECEMBER 27:

Rhino's Flashback Daydream Believer And Other Hits from Australia

This was recently discovered by collector Louisa Thomsen.
I wonder if the other two in this series saw release there as well.

The concert sounds great. The CD is very expensive ($39, $59 signed) and sold
only at Micky's website, although if you just want the songs you can purchase them at iTunes.

 

DECEMBER 21:

A unique mix of Nesmith's Some Of Shelly's Blues has been found a sampler LP from Japan
(Courtesy of Ed Reilly)

Japan RCA chose 3 songs from the forthcoming LP And The Hits Just Keep On Comin':
Keep On/ Roll With The Flow/
Some Of Shelly's Blues

SOSB has a unique single tracked vocal. How they managed to get this alternate mix or take
is quite the mystery.

 

Another promo LP sleeve from Peru
(also Ed Reilly)

 

Created a new page for the Australian Arista LP releases

DECEMBER 19:

Picked up an uplayed copy of this cassette, Then & Now, & added it to the German cassette page.
Sold throughout Europe but manufactured in Germany.

 

While traveling last month I found a copy of their first LP pressed by Mercury Records

 

An untrimmed error pressing? of the single included
with the 2013 box set The Monkees Present.

Unfortunately it is missing the slipcover

Cassette version

 

DECEMBER 10:

New finds from El Salvador:

Pisces, Birds & HEAD LPs have surfaced.

Pisces is said to have the same mix has the US,
so the hope is that the Birds LP matches and can be added to the list
of countries with the dedicated mono.
