Monkees fans have the opportunity to vote for the group's multi-platinum #1 debut album to be issued as an expanded deluxe edition double LP featuring previously unreleased songs and mixes, courtesy of Run Out Groove, a vinyl only label that, according to its website, "caters specifically to music fanatics, pressing limited edition titles made by music fans for music fans."
Run Out Groove provided more details about the proposed release, noting that Monkees producer and archivist Andrew Sandoval would be a part of the project: [Mastering engineer] Kevin Grey and Andrew Sandoval would cut lacquers for the original album from the analog stereo tapes for the first time since original release in 1966! Proposed Track Listing:VOTE FOR THE MONKEES!UPDATE 10/10/2020:
The Monkees won the vote for Run Out Groove's latest promotion, and just like that, an exclusive transparent yellow color vinyl has sold out!
But good news! Fans can still order the black vinyl edition, which features the same packaging and content, through November 9, 2020.
UPDATE 3/23/2021: SHIPPING DATE CONFIRMED
UPDATE 6/14/2021: SHIPPING DATE PUSHED BACK

I'm all for this and will support anything with Sandoval's stamp. But where are the super deluxe edition box sets for "Headquarters" and "Pisces"???

Thanks for this update as i had not seen anything about this. And i agree with Steve above. I like the idea that this album would get a vinyl deluxe treatment, but nothing beats Rhino and Andrew's work on the Monkees. We need the huge box sets for HQs and Pisces!

This is something, but not what I had in mind. Along the lines of the rest of you, Pisces box CD box set then maybe Headquarters. I just don't get into collecting vinyl all that much. Oh well better than Zip for us die-hard fans.

What we want is less garbage like "Summer of Love" and "Christmas Party Plus" and the "Headquarters" and "PACJ" Super Deluxe Box sets!

I must append my comment. I meant to say that instead of less garbage like "Summer of Love" and "Christmas Party Plus", what we really want, is for Warner/Rhino to finish what they started, and FINALLY release the Super Deluxe Edition box sets for HQ and PACJ

Agree! I would like the remainder of the hand made sets. But I am intrigued by this vinyl offering. Sounds good to me!

The only vinyl I'm interested in would be double LPs for Missing Links 2 and 3. And someone needs to get crackin' on super deluxe boxes for Headquarters and Pisces already!

Amazing! I love vinyl and any time anything Monkees is on vinyl it's a good day (hey when it's Monkees anything it's a good day). Also agree with the super deluxe edition for Headquarters and Pisces. Peace and remember save the Texas prairie chicken!

Not thrilled. Got 2 warped discs, dinged corners and split top seam. Don’t think I’ll try for any more.

Haven’t got mine either. When I check, it says “Mail Innocations is not a day definite service....” seriously? Huh?

Okay mine finally arrived today. Looked okay on the outside box. The record seemed fine on the outside but unnoticed the tell-tale urge to the package. While not bad - the LP definitely is warped from the heat. Not as bad as the guy who posted the video - but warped. Too bad.
