Release Calendar

This indispensable addition to The Monkees’ catalogue of super deluxe sets follows the 4CD format that is by now familiar to the group’s fans.  (The last album to receive this treatment was Headquarters back in late 2022.)  The first disc offers the remastered stereo album plus a new 2025 album mix and a couple of bonuses.  Disc 2 presents the remastered mono mix (including a unique, slightly different version of “Pleasant Valley Sunday”) and twelve alternative versions including previously unreleased mono mixes and both the TV and single mixes of “Daydream Believer” B-side “Goin’ Down.”  The third and fourth CDs take a deep-dive into the sessions with newly-mixed backing tracks and demos plus vintage, new-to-CD TV mixes and session takes, including a couple versions of the Spanish Christmas carol “Riu Chiu” and instrumental demos of Goffin and King’s “A Man Without a Dream.”  A bonus single presents previously unissued, alternative mono mixes of “Love Is Only Sleeping” and “Goin’ Down.”  A 32-page booklet with Andrew Sandoval’s liner notes is packed with photos and rare memorabilia images; Now Sounds’ Steve Stanley has designed the entire set (including Colgems-style CD labels) with impressive period detail.​
