A day-by-day look at the years from 1965 to 1970 reveals the remarkably rich story of the Monkees, one of the most successful pop bands of the 1960s. The Monkees immensely popular television series began in 1966. It was immediately followed by a remarkable four consecutive Number 1 albums and six Top 10 singles. In the 1980s the Monkees reached an entirely new audience when MTV began re-running the TV show. Their cult status remains solid today as critics reassess their music and new fans discover the show. Follow the bands short but explosive career in this examination that includes exclusive interviews with each member of the group, details of recording sessions, filming commitments, concert performances, other public appearances, and over 100 photographs and illustrations.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Music historian Sandoval obsessively covers concerts, recordings and TV in pursuit of all Monkees trivia. Beginning with the 1942–1945 births of the quartet members (Peter Tork, Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones), Sandoval traces their solo careers until the four were brought together in 1966 for NBC's The Monkees TV series, followed by hit albums through the late '60s. With a complete "Songography," 135 illustrations, a TV episode guide, lengthy interview quotes and exhaustive research through thousands of press clippings, Sandoval and designer Paul Cooper deliver a strong package, including captivating notes on Jack Nicholson's soundtrack work for the 1968 Monkees movie, Head, which was made the year before Nicholson gained recognition as an actor in Easy Rider. Unfortunately, the book has many speculative passages and an awkward use of present and future tense, resulting in such strained sentences as "No tapes will survive from this date, and it is quite possible that no takes are made today. Peter will return to the song in January." All the same, devoted Monkees fans will be pleased. (July)

WHAT A GROOVY BOOK!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2005

I just got my copy earlier this week. I ordered last Saturday got it in the mail on Monday. Even though it took 15 years for this book to finally be released. It was well worth it. Like one of the other reviewers I've been a Monkees fan for 20 years and have followed their carrers ever since. This book is the best thing since Rhino reissued all the albums on CD and released the entire series on home video 10 years ago. Its so great to see that someone finnaly put alot of time and research into a book on my favorite band. My only dissapointment is the page and a half that covers 1971-1997. But it would take at least another book to cover that period. But thats only a slight oversight. Other than that I would personaly say this is the deffenitif book on The Monkees. This is the only book to detail recording, filming, air dates for first run and repeat episoids and record releases. Far surpasses previous books on the band, and I have them all. The story of The Monkees is far from over. Hopefully there will be a second volume. After all there was a two part biography on Elvis. The Monkees deserve a lot of respect for their work. Their series was very innovative and funnier then the two Beatles film that inspired it. Their records are great, and they were very tallented. I still say they deserve their place in the Rock'nRoll Hall of Fame. Which is long over due. If you don't have this book yet get it it is a must have for any Monkees collection. No Monkees fan will want to be without this great book. It is well worth the price. They were as much a band as any of the groups from the 60's. They weren't the only group to use session musicans on their records. So what if they weren't together for years before they made it. Bottom line they could play their instruments just listen to Rhino's Headquarters, Live 1967, and JUSTUS their 1996 reunion album with Mike Nesmith(Papa Nez). Not even The Beatles played all the instruments on their records. That being said buy this book and don't forget to save the Texas Prairie Chicken.

People Who Spread Rumors Are Dangerous

That Monkees Anthology You Have Been Waiting For

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 10, 2009

Verified Purchase

This is it! This is the case!
The case has been made by Andrew Sandoval for die hard Monkees fans that have had an unfulfilled appetite for a day by day playback into Monkees history. Even the casual Monkees admirer will appreciate the history, the pictures, the mania.

The Monkees were a band of four musician/actors created by Screen Gems. Fed up with the bubblegum pop sound generated by their producers on "The Monkees" and "More Of The Monkees" albums, the band gained creative control of their music and the rest is history.

This book is that history.

If you want to know answers to such questions as:

(1)Which song featured what Monkee on which instrument and where was that song recorded on what day in which studio? (2)Where did The Monkees perform live on which date and what was the actual gross earning/attendance for which concert? (3)Where did The Monkees perform as a trio in 1969 after Peter Tork left and on which television show or shows did they make live guest appearances on?

Then buy this book.

If you want a rare glimpse into an extremely detailed pictoral history of the most underated rock band of all time history...

Then buy this book.

If you have to know every single solitary thing about The Monkees, like your reviewer does....

Then buy two copies of this book because you'll need one copy untouched for your collection and one copy for constant review.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 6, 2005

Verified Purchase

the other reviewers have commented fairly well about the book's merits. i wanted to just raise one quibble - the group's work on the television show is given massively short shrift. indeed, this is essentially the day by day story of the monkees as recording and touring artists, not the story of their days on set, their days working with interesting guest stars, their days developing an improvisational style on set, their relationships with directors or crew members or any of that. given that the monkees would never have reached any level of musical success without the backbone of the show, it seems horrible to ditch james frawley from the narrative after only one quote, or ignore the inner workings of the series. it's a minor quibble, but i was disappointed to see it missing. i can understand why - it's probably not as well documented as the sessions, which had union records to evaluate; but it's clear sandoval had interview access with many major players, and chose to just focus on the music.

The Monkees Bible

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 19, 2008

Verified Purchase

This joins the ranks of similar books about The Beatles, Elvis and Hendrix as the most authoritative source of Monkees information. If you are a fan, you'll love the details about the sessions and MANY unreleased songs. The passion and care that went into this book are evident from the amount of details. Not a book to read in one session but these books never are. This is a great reference to thumb through while you are listening to the CDs. OK, so The Monkees weren't as important as The Beatles, Elvis or Hendrix, but there are fans (count me as one) who remember these songs from their youth and love re-living that era.

Great job. Amazing book.

This is the most detailed book on The Monkees out there. All their recording sessions, records, appearances, concerts and TV episodes up through 1970 are chronologically examined in this great book. Also includes hundreds of great photos. If you want to know everything about The Monkees, this is the book for you.

A must for the Monkees/sixties music obsessed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 8, 2007

Verified Purchase

A fascinating and well-researched account of the day-by-day activities of the Monkees. Loads of detail for those interested in 1960s recording techniques, and those wanting to know who sang and played what on which Monkees tracks. Less detail, however, on how the TV shows were produced than I'd expected. More suitable for those with a Monkees/sixties music obsession than anyone wanting a biography of the 'prefab' four. I loved it.

Too Much Monkees Business

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on July 26, 2005

Verified Purchase

Monkeesに関してはライノのリイシュー等を担当している著者による、1965年から1970年までの毎日のメンバーや関係人物等の動向をまとめた「データ本」です。レコーディングセッション、ライブ、テレビ・映画の撮影等を関係者のインタビュー等も交えながら、本人たちが覚えていないことまで完璧に網羅しています。その資料性の高さには右に出るものはいないと思います。巻末にはレコーディングに参加したミュージシャンのリストと活動期間中に録音されたソングリストが掲載されています。
　ちなみに86年・96年の再結成等や70年以降のメンバーのソロ活動には殆ど言及されていないので、そちらも知りたい方は別のバイオ本を購入されたほうが良いと思います。（70年のマイケルの'Nevada Fighter'までのレコーディング活動は収録されていますが）
　英文は平易な方ですので、ある程度の英語力のある人なら全く問題は無いはずです。くれぐれも言いますがあくまで「データ本」ですので当時の裏舞台を知りたい方は別の「バイオ本」を購入されることをお勧めします。
