From 1966 to 1968, The Monkees (Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz) were riding a wave of success that not even they could have ever imagined. Throughout this time, they had a hit television series that scored high in the ratings; they performed at sold-out concerts across America; they had a series of hit singles. They also released 5 successful albums, with the first four all reaching number one. This 5-disc CD set, "Original Album Series", gathers together these landmark albums into one handy and cohesive collection. The albums included are "The Monkees", "More Of The Monkees", "Headquarters", "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd." and "The Birds, The Bees And The Monkees". Each CD features the complete tracks from the originally released albums, plus a stellar selection of bonus tracks. Here is a great opportunity to listen to such classic songs as "Last Train To Clarksville", "I Wanna Be Free", "She", "Mary, Mary", "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone", "I'm A Believer", "Shades Of Gray", "Randy Scouse Git", "Cuddly Toy", "Pleasant Valley Sunday", "Daydream Believer", "Valleri", "Zor And Zam" and scores of others. While many other artists from this same era have not endured as much, it is the music from The Monkees that has a long=lasting quality that still holds up perfectly well even into the 21st century. Bonus tracks include such songs as "I Don't Think You Know Me", "Don't Listen To Linda", "All Of Your Toys", "Goin' Down", and "I'm Gonna Try". The songs have all been remastered for superior quality. Although, a true mono mix of "Magnolia Simms" would have been perfect for this release, rather than having the song only in one channel. However, this CD collection is a great representation of Monkees music at its finest.Read full review
