Monkees musical legacy to be highlighted by "The Monkees 50" (UPDATED)

7/13/2016

14 Comments

 
A brand new career-spanning collection of Monkees music will be issued on August 26 by Rhino Records. Entitled The Monkees 50 and spread over 3 CDs, the track listing includes songs from The Monkees' 1960s heyday, the 1980s reunion singles, both "Regional Girl" and "You and I" from Justus, along with "She Makes Me Laugh" and "You Bring the Summer," the first two singles from The Monkees' new album, Good Times!

49 tracks? One more would make it 50......hello?

I noticed that, too, Craig. We'll see if Rhino updates the track listing.

They should add "Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere" (a great song that's far too often overlooked) or "Me and Magdalena" as the 50th track.

Agree with you, Ne and Magdalena is an ace and to leave it out of the 50? It's my favorite song of the year.

Why three CDs? Surely 50 tracks would fit on two CDs. Anyway, it's missing "Shades Of Gray", "You Just May BeThe One" and several other essential tracks.

D'oh! I meant " I Wanna Be Free".

Decent compilation but as mentioned it could easily fit on 2 cds. Shades of Gray is included. Monkeemania: Very Best of the Monkees (UK) from 2011 had 57 tracks on 2 cds.

My initial thoughts are like the others-- why not 50 tracks on two cds?

I wonder:
- the track listing is not overloaded so it would not overwhelm a new monkees listener or a casual buyer
- some key monkees tracks (those mentioned above and "I wanna Be Free" etc) are replaced by album cuts to differentiate from the many other comps out there
- I swear I heard somewhere that if a multi-cd album is sold its counted higher than a single cd release. I could be totally wrong about that but maybe Rhino is trying to push for a high first week release, which could spur other sales?

Love that.Justus tracks are included. Regional Girl is a lost classic.

Milking this whole thing until it is dry. I kind of figured they would release a Greatest Hits set after the success of "Good Times," but there are actually two such sets being released, this one and "Forever," a slighter compilation. I personally don't need either, but will probably get them one way or the other. Nothing here too startling.

Sorry, don't get it. It is clear that Rhino caters to the Monkee devoted fans, which is great, but really, was this needed? Tell me one Monkees devotee ( and I know a lot of who they are across this world) who does not have these.

How about this : How about releasing those lives shows that were supposedly taped during Davy's last tour? How about any live shows that Nez did w them in 2012,13 ? ( not 14, they were not as good)? And don't give me any jive talk that none of them were not taped! These are the things we want, not songs that we all have.

How about outtakes from Good Times? How about promoting Good Times more?

Couldn't agree more!! So many other things that could possibly be released and we get what? Two more comps that nobody needs?! Although i am glad to see Regional Girl finally get some notice!

Other than "Good Times" the 50th anniversary releases have been very underwhelming for me.Hope that more better things are being considered for release soon!

Great to hear of NEW 50th anniversary hits compilations (not that anyone needs yet another hits package) & hard to believe rhino wouldn't put out another one to capitalize on the big anniversary.I will buy it (once again) as a big fan & collector.I even mentioned to peter tork that I buy different compilations just for the new cover even though I have the songs multilple time over!...unfortunately,he mentioned that they don't make any money from them though.:(
