Editorial Reviews
Import only compilation features 60 tracks on two cd's. This Definitive collection contains everything that even the worryingly obsessive fan might need. From the recognised karaoke classics like 'Daydream Believer' and 'Last Train to Clarkesville' to lesser known known songs. There are 29 tracks here to confirm that The Monkees were far more than just a soulless exercise in hype and hope. The gently frazzled psychedelia of 'Porpoise Song' and 'Randy Scouse Git's rinky-dink racket also included go some way to proving in fact that they are worthy of comparison with any other pop group of the period. The second 31-track disc includes their best, most bizarre off-cuts and out takes, ranging from an Italian-language take of their theme song along with alternate versions of classic tracks from their classic 60's albums. Highlights include the finest-ever rendition of 'Circle Sky', 'Steam Engine' and 'Apples, Peaches & Pears'. 60 tracks in all. Warner/Rhino.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
that stops me from giving it a five star rating is it did not include enough Michael Nesmith selections.

Hanving made do for years with an old best of, with a mere 10 tracks and really murky sound, I am thoroughly enjoying this set which allows me to hear all of the group's hits, the cheery pop, the odd hippy later work and, as a special bonus, some solo material from band members and some real rarities and oddities. IT's been great to hear something other than the usual few tracks, and to see the other direction the band were going in.
There is an extensive booklet with essays and recording details. The tracks have been remastered and sound quite superb now. I highly recommend this set to anyone looking for a decent Monkees release that goes a little beyond the obvious few hits.
