Big blow to 50th anniversary. This set was the start of the celebrations and has been hyped beyond belief. No doubt we all are grateful for the incredible effort that has gone into this stunning boxset but if there's going to be a 3 month delay then that bad news should be softened by some positivity such as the remaining Monkees release schedule for this 50th year which one would hope to include the remaining 3 audio boxsets, a cheeky, much requested re-release of the Headquarters sessions or other audio/visual goodies.

Go El Lammy! I agree. And weeks? C'mon. We can all count! I'm glad they're offering more stuff, but ya, if ya spent months hyping for Christmas then delay the product you're losing momentum. And tour you guys!

A nice gesture would be for Rhino to give a free cereal box record to everyone who pre-ordered the Blu-ray set, hehe.

Yes. How dare anyone express their disappointment. Thank you for being an island of maturity in a sea of emotional turmoil. We are all in your debt.

Awesome looking set! I'm digging those outtakes, BIG TIME!! Johnny Cash.... I wonder how good 33 1/3 will look restored from newly discovered elements? This is going to be great!

Don't see the original pilot listed here Brian Augen's commentary for Revolutions. Thought the commentary for Head wouldn't be on it either.

I'm fine with the delay, and I know the finished product will be great. It's the timing of the delay announcement that's a little weird. Two weeks before scheduled release you realize you're gonna need another three months? Doesn't sound right.

What about "Hey, Hey, It's the Monkees," the 1997 TV special? Couldn't you guys get the rights to that one?
