Comment:
Replacing an earlier single-cd collection, I've now gone ahead and put together a neat little 2-cd collection, culling the 60 finest Monkees tunes from their first 8 albums. While I included their 2 (increasingly mediocre) albums as a post-Tork trio, I drew the line at the Dolenz/Jones Changes disc and the subsequent reunion attempts. It's a pretty basic mix, arranged chronologically (the last 2 tracks listed here are actually tracks 31 & 32 on disc 1), but accomplishes the goal of essentially getting all the Monkees I need onto a mix so I can throw the original discs into the closet. (A few of Nesmith's respectable country tunes were omitted from this, but they didn't quite fit the mood.) It's also a reminder that there was a time when wholly commercial prefabricated pop could also be surprisingly great (in contrast to the 90s/00s teenybopper schlock that my kids are stuck with).Feedback:
This is so good. I don't think they're allowed to teach this in schools anymore!
Seems definitive to me. I remember liking She a lot when I listened to the album in 66 or 67. And although I like Steppin Stone a lot, I still think that the Raiders' version is a bit better. Your thoughts? Great cover for your mix.
Great mix, great band.
I'd buy it!
Brilliant cover!
lovely stuff, marc. This is the one to get for sure, as the albums are patchy, although enjoyable.
Comprehensive.
I remember my mom playing them when I was little and watching reruns of the show.
Back in '97 or so the Monkees did an in store appearance at the Media Play where I was working... We actually had some ladies spend the night in the parking lot to meet them. I thought that was pretty cool.

Yeah, "comprehensive" is the word. I did a single-disc mix that I rate as one of my favorite single-artist mixes that I've ever done ("My fingers are still burning from the last time") back in '02, but this one manages to incorporate just about all of that (if not all of it) plus the songs that I left off for speace considerations. Great stuff.
Comprehensive & great. The only nit I'd pick is that you didn't find room for "Door Into Summer" -one of my very favourites.
Oddly enough, "Door Into Summer" was my (to cop a Conroyism) "last song cut."
Excellent double dose of Monkee business. The cover is outstanding as well. Evolution was never this much fun.
The Monkees were great! What's not to love. Pre-fab, maybe - but jeez ... pre-fab then was a helluva lot better than pre-fab now, as you say. And they really evolved into a great little combo. Gotta admit, though - "She" just rubs me the wrong way - it's Dolenz's goofy vocal. A lot of intelligent design in this evolution mix. (Heh - a little joke there, in honor of my state trying desperately to return to the Dark Ages.)
glad auntie grizelda gets some respect. novelty sure but peter's delivery is intentionally hilarious and the lyrics are pretty eloquent for its kind of song. ooh, and those solo micky tunes with oddly high-pitched vocals (they must have been tampered-with) from later records. neeet.
