DECEMBER 6:

A new find! Recently a copy of Birds appeared on Discogs that was pressed in Switzerland.
RCA used the German sleeve, with the copyrights covered over.
This is the first known studio release from this country.
Like Germany, it was pressed in stereo.

 

DECEMBER 2:

A second copy of this incredibly hard to find early Nesmith single has recently surfaced -
acquired by collector Stephen Wright

 

 

An unused giant counter display has been found for their second LP.
There was a ton of promotional material created for The Monkees releases,
however most of it was thrown away or lost over time.

DECEMBER 1:

Micky's King For A Day on vinyl from Friday Records. It was supposed to be Red Velvet,
but this copy had some black mixed in, as always with Friday, YMMV.
The gold vinyl at least looks fine.

I believe this Greatest Hits on "Sunspot Orange Hand Poured Effect Vinyl"
has now been released.
