Good set

Perfect for someone who might want a little more than "greatest hits" from the Monkees but doesn't want to buy every album and track down all the rarities and bootlegs out there.

Item as described. Great collection of hits. Has everything a Monkees fan could hope for in a four-disc set. I thoroughly enjoyed reliving the past.

"He has the balls to buy this in public?"

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2016

I purchased this box set shortly after it was released and I'll never forget the look I got from the teeny-bopper cashier as she rang it up. At the time, I was in my mid-50s and what hair I had left had turned from salt-and-pepper to shiny silver. She didn't say a word, but the expression on her face was priceless. It looked like she was thinking, "Wow. This old coot has the balls to buy this in public. Should I alert someone?"
I just smiled, said thank you, and headed out the door.
I've been a Monkee's fan since day one. The first three Monkee albums I purchased were in mono because my parents had recently gifted me the "hi-fi" version of a close-and-play record player. They used to tell us that you'd ruin a stereo record by playing it on a mono record player. Stereo was still for people who had money to burn.
I still had all their records, including "Then and Now," but I thought it was time to add them to my CD collection. So, instead of buying the individual albums, I bought this box set, which contains most of the music from the original albums and then some. I'm glad I did.
I received my copy of "Good Times" in the mail on the day it was released. I purchased it through Amazon, although I would have liked to have seen the face of today's teeny-bopper cashier as I handed over hard-earned money for another Monkee album.

Find This Out Of Print Box Set!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2007

It's not the perfect overview, as later editions of The Monkees albums would yield even more rarities, but this box set contains unique mixes of several songs, not be found elsewhere.

For example; "Porpoise Song (Theme From Head)" was originally released in two very different mixes. One was the monophonic 7" mix with had an extended ending, more echo on the vocals, and more prominent tubular bell accents. The second mix was the stereo version included on the "Head" movie soundtrack ( assembled by Jack Nicholson, no less!! ). The stereo version truncated the song by cutting off the instrumental ending, and mixing sound effects over the intro of the song. The mix of the song also buried many of the tubular bell hits, and eliminated much of the echo on the voices. The unique remix included on this set gives you the flavor of the 45 rpm mix, but in true stereo!

Another rarity first included here is a version of "Mary Mary", which has an extended ending. Also unique to this set is a stereo mix of the 7" single version of "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone", which was originally ( and subsequently ) only issued in a monophonic mix.

While the later Monkees 4 disc " Music Box" set includes many of the same songs included here ( and a few others not on this set ), the mixes on this set are unique and not to be found anywhere else.

Lovely to See You

Yes, the Title Says it All: Listen to the Band.

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2005

I bought this box set in the early 90's with the complete and unapologetic intention of getting back to my roots. As the youngest of four siblings, the others all being much older than myself, I was exposed to the Monkees, Beatles, etc., for as long as I can remember. We always want to embrace our best memories, especially as we grow older and experience more of what life has in store for us. The Monkees are truly an ear candy happy place for a lot of people, and yours truly is no exception. I'm also happy to see that a so-called caricature band is being embraced by a lot of very young people here! Congratulations for discovering some very good music, regardless of what you may have heard.

It doesn't matter that the band started out as somebody's idea for a TV show aimed at the youth of the 60's. They had great songwriters like Boyce and Hart, King and Goffin, David Gates, and so on writing some very well-crafted, catchy-to-this-day songs that are still not being forgotten. That alone is proof positive against the arguments of all those dismissive naysayers. Let that make you say "I'm a Believer!"

The hits are all here from the TV show theme to 1986's not-so-great "Heart and Soul." I would like mostly to direct your attention to the first two discs in this four-cd collection, because there's not one bad song on either of them. Even the album tracks from that era are great, including when the band finally took over and began to write and play their own music under the tutelage of former Turtles member Chip Douglas (No, he is not the middle boy on My Three Sons, and he's not the brainchild behind Manheim Steamroller--his name is Chip Davis. And, yes, I write this because I kept getting confused about the name myself!:-D). In fact, the band recorded two great albums with Douglas, containing some great self-penned hits like Micky Dolenz's "Randy Scouse Git"(a song about his future and ex-wife Samantha) and the great bluesy brass driven "Goin' Down" before their unfortunate decline with The Birds, the Bees, and the Monkees, an album I never cared too much about. The other two cds aren't as consistently good, but they contain some true gems like "D.W. Washburn," the beautiful and hard-to-find "Someday Man," and one of my favorite of all of Mike Nesmith's country rock ditties, "Good, Clean Fun."

You also get a booklet full of rare photos, track-by-track descriptions of what was going down around the time of the recordings, and full studio musician credits. This box set is a must to own for both newcomers and long-time fans alike. I recommend it highly to anyone interested in this band that some never expected to have any lasting effect, and encourage you to keep their name buzzing around for many more years to come!

Saw a review of this box set on YouTube and didn't think I would find one. As usual Amazon came to the rescue and there it was. Used but at a reasonable price and most importantly with the book and poster intact. Great sound and well worth searching for.
