BOX COVER IMAGEPRESS RELEASERhino Handmade takes you back to where The Monkees story all began with THE MONKEES (SUPER DELUXE EDITION)! Packed with a jumbo-sized 100 tracks (45 previously unreleased!) over 3 CDs, the first disc features the spectacular original album remastered in both mono and stereo, including the debut single, "Last Train to Clarksville," show favorite "(Theme From) The Monkees," and the raw romper "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day," with 12 bonus tracks that feature unreleased versions, alternative tracks, and TV & radio spots. Comprised entirely of previously unreleased tracks on the second disc, 'Sessions' features rare and unheard recordings - 31 in total. Some highlights include the master backing tracks for "Let's Dance On," "This Just Doesn't Seem To Be My Day," and "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day." The disc also features several alternate versions of songs from the debut album, including an alternate vocal take by Michael Nesmith on "The Kind of Girl I Could Love," several versions of "I Wanna Be Free," rehearsal tracks, and much more! The final disc takes us back to the beginning of Davy Jones' career, with his solo debut album recorded a year before the Monkees, DAVID JONES. Davy's classic pop album is presented in both mono and stereo, featuring "What Are We Going To Do?," "Baby It's Me," "It Ain't Me Babe," and more. The box set also features bonus single tracks by both Davy Jones and Michael Blessing (AKA Michael Nesmith). The disc is wrapped up with four demo tracks of The Monkees' "I Wanna Be Free." Strictly limited to 4,000 individually numbered boxes, THE MONKEES (SUPER DELUXE EDITION) is another unique entry in the Monkees reissue series.

Wondering if the TV mono mixes are taken from master tapes (Sandoval said that they hadn't really found too many tapes for these mixes) or if they're just high quality audio rips from the actual episodes - either way those are still gonna be cool to have them finally on CD.

Odd that they've included Davy's first album, given the fact it was released already, but I'd buy this set if only for the "Blessing" stuff!

I think 'cause Friday Music just threw it out there. That, and they just released the mono mix not stereo (even though the CD packaging says it's stereo).

Order placed! I'm not gonna get caught out in the rain again like I was with The Birds, the Bees and the Monkees. No way.

Not to be a downer here, but the "Blessing" tracks seem to be the only standouts for me. And seeing as im not really into the solo works and the fact that i have the first DE set, im gonna have to pass on this.I am sure that the packaging will be outstanding though. Saving my $ for hopefully Blu-ray treatments of the series & TBTBATM box re-release. (not holding my breath on that one though) Hope everyone enjoys! Looking forward to reviews.

Yes! The Snuff Garret takes and more rarities such as that would have probably sold me on this. I guess their lost for good though or they would have surely made this box.
