Album Description

1967's MORE OF THE MONKEES was the band's top seller, racking up 70 weeks on Billboard®'s album chart, including 18 weeks at #1, becoming the 3rd best-selling LP of the '60s (ranking higher than any Beatles album). The Monkees topped the pop singles charts again with the Neil Diamond-penned "I'm A Believer." Album also features the Top 20 hit "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" and the classic cut "She," both composed by Boyce & Hart. Twelve bonus tracks on Disc 1 include "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)" with Peter's narration, an alternate mix of "I'm A Believer" and the previously unissued "Whatever's Right." Disc 2's six bonus cuts include the first recorded version of Valleri" and a previously unreleased alternate version of "Tear Drop City." Each 2-CD Deluxe Limited EDITION features the original stereo album with bonus rarities on Disc 1, and the original mono album with even more rare treasures on Disc 2.

My 2nd Monkees LP..........2007-07-19

I got this at E.J. Korvettes for $1.59! What a deal! Again: this is my LP review, NOT the Rhino Reissue.Micky rox with She/ Davy sings When Love Comes Knocking at Your Door.Micky gets down & dirty with Mary Mary! Cool!
Davy with Hold on Gitl. Peter is silly with Auntie Grizelda. Then Micky jams with I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone. Side 2 starts with Davy & Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow). Mike Yeehahs with the Kind Of Girl I Could Love.Davy's a drag in the Day We Fall In Love. Micky's calm for Sometime in the Morning. Davy & Company with Laugh & we conclude with I'm a Believer (written by Neil Diamond). Great 60's fun.

60s Pop Excellence.......2007-05-03

I just don't have the patience to type out a complete commentary about this favorite album of mine, which is in the top of my list of fave albums I grew up with as a child, and one that had a major impact on me.

But, to those Monkees die-hards and collectors of all their recordings, this re-issue is practically worth it alone for the 2 bonus track stereo mixes: The out-take of "I'm a Believer" on disc 1, is like hearing the song for the first time again, (albeit a different vocal take) being in an amazing stereo mix, the way I wish the regular version sounded like. It's great to really hear Neil Diamond's acoustic guitar so clearly.

Same goes for "Look Out", the stereo mix with the organ break in the middle and count-in, on Disc 2. I was blasting it on my car speakers the other day- it's like a whole new song.

Get this and the first album re-issues. The gathering of so many bonus tracks from the time are worth it alone. Both re-issues are definitive.

Part 2 Monkees 1966 Anthlogy Shines! .......2007-01-24

More of the Monkees" is truly a wonderful album and this Rhino deluxe edition really shines. From the first bars of "She" through the ultimate garage rock classic, "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone" this album exhibts the pure "ear candy" that has turned on fans for 40 years. To put in perspective how popular this album was and is, in 1967 and 1968 it was in the top album charts for 70 weeks, and was again a top ten album for 13 weeks in 1986 upon the LP reissue by Rhino Records. In addition to the stereo and mono album versions, this deluxe edition compiles the remaining 1966 recordings including alternate versions of Monkee classics such as "I'm a Believer." In addition, the packaging is wonderful and features rare pictures and insightful liner notes by the foremost Monkee expert and author Andrew Sandoval (he also helps research and compile the tracks for all of Rhino's Monkee projects). Get this collection and "The Monkees" deluxe edition also.

How re-issues should be done.......2007-01-06

I'm now convinced that Rhino Records should re-release every album ever made. Beautiful packaging, wonderful audio. The only thing is that the bonus tracks recorded during this era aren't quite as good as the ones found on 'The Monkees' (as that special edition contains quite a few Nesmith-produced out-takes). "Kicking Stones" could be the absolute worst example of their recorded output. But for a completist, it is an essential purchase, as all the tracks that have been previously scattered over countless rarities disks are finally all in one place. The original album is handled with loving care and sounds better than ever...if only they could've gone back in time as well and removed the incredibly, painfully cheesy "The Day We Fall in Love" from the original release, we would have had the perfect example of 60's bubble-gum pop to last for the ages.

Nostalgia abounds.......2007-01-04

I had my first crush on Mickey Dolenz. This was the first album I ever bought at the ripe old age of 9. It is amazing to think I thought these guys were so awesome. Most of the songs are teeny bop as to be expected. But some of them actually do transend the generations and remain timeless classics but not all of them!

Bubblegum Isn't Always Bad.......2006-06-04

Well, this was the Monkees second album, and it shot straight up to number 1, knocking their first album (which still held that spot) to number 2. However, as most people know the album was pretty much made by Don Kirshner, and as the story goes, the Monkees didn't even know the album was out, until they saw it at a store. They had virtually no imput, and their vocals were pretty much their only involvement. Despite all of this, it's a very solid selection of songs. Some songs are not the greatest, but this album is filled with hits. Anyway, here is my review of the songs:

1. "She" - Excellent way to start the album with a great Boyce/Hart song that probably could have been a single. 10/10

2. "When Love Comes Knockin' (At Your Door)" - Not the best song on the album, but certainly not the worst. Fairly solid pop song. 7/10

3. "Mary, Mary" - One of the two songs written by Mike on this album. Featured in a few episodes, and one of their more popular non-singles. Great song, one of my favorites. 10/10

4. "Hold On Girl" - Another Davy song that's not great, but again isn't the worst. Average song, that gets in your head. 7/10

5. "Your Auntie Grizelda" - This was the first Monkees song on an album that featured Peter on lead vocals. Just a goofy novelty song, but it's a classic. 8/10

6. "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" - One of the Monkees most popular B-Sides, and a definite classic. 10/10

7. "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)" - An obvious Neil Diamond song, and definitely the strongest Davy song on the album. This may be pure bubblegum, but it's still great. 10/10

8. "The Kind of Girl I Could Love" - The second song that Mike wrote for the album, and the only one he sings (for some reason). Not the best Mike song ever released, but it has that country-rock-pop appeal. 8/10

9. "The Day We Fall In Love" - This is my least favorite Monkees song. I don't even know if you could call it a ballad, it's just a lot of cheesy Davy talking. Definitely not good. 1/10

10. "Sometime In The Morning" - Micky definitely shines on this song, vocally anyway. Solid song, that is squeezed in between two bad ones. 9/10

11. "Laugh" - Another horrible choice by Kirshner. Not only is it a bad song, but the quality just doesn't seem like it's finished. How this ended up being on two Monkees episodes is beyond me. 4/10

12. "I'm A Believer" - I'm sure everyone knows what this song is...possibly their most popular. 10/10

Nothing too much from the bonus tracks...Peter singing "I Don't Think You Know Me" is interesting.

This cd is definitely worth a purchase, and it's a very good listen. I'd probably give it a 5/5 if the Monkees had at least had knowledge that it was coming out.

My Favorite Monkees Album.......2006-04-29

This cd brings back so many fond memories. It was very powerful at the time of its release - powerful for a seven year old, that is. The songs hold up extremely well, even today. With some of the best song writers of the day working for them like: Neil Sedaka, Neil Diamond, Boyce & Hart, Carol King, etc., how can you miss? Favorite songs include:Mary, Mary, Steppin' Stone, Look Out Here Comes Tomorrow and my all-time favorite: "I'm a Believer."

The music is funny........2006-03-09

This was the Monkees second album. It was hastily slapped together to cash in on the Monkees growing popularity. It is definitely a mixed bag. There are some great songs and some downright awful songs. All the songs that Micky sings are great, especially the classic hits "Steppin' Stone" and "I'm a Believer". Mike's one vocal, "The Kind of Girl I Could Love", is a solid effort. And Peter's sole vocal, "Your Auntie Grizelda", is an amusing novelty song. The album's weakest parts come from Davy. "Look Out(Here Comes Tomorrow)" is great and "When Love Comes Knockin'(At Your Door)" is pretty good. But "Hold On Girl" is mediocre, "Laugh" is a poor attempt at a novelty song, and the spoken word "The Day We Fall in Love" is embarrassingly bad. The CD adds five bonus tracks which improve the album somewhat.

The Monkees music...........2006-01-25

I have been a fan of the Monkees for 15+ and I am 23. The Monkees second album is fantastic. Two of the highlights is the Kind Of Girl I Could Love by Nesmith and Auntie Grizelda by Tork. I own all of their original recordings on CD and some on LP. My fave Monkee is Nesmith. None of the albums that the Monkees do are bad. In fact they are fantastic.

Good, but could have been GREAT!.......2005-07-25

Following the success of THE MONKEES (AKA Meet the Monkees), this follow-up album hit the stores an astonishing 3 months after the release of THE MONKEES. Unfortunately, they probably should have spent more time polishing the material, as the album sounds like it was thrown together in...well, 3 months. While there are great songs on the album, "She", "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone", "Mary Mary", and the ever-popular "I'm A Believer", the remaining songs on the album just don't live up to their potential. "You're Auntie Grizelda" at first is a tolerable tune, but gets bogged down by Peter's attempt at ad-libbing and scat-music. Additionally, "Laugh" is so boring and un-original that it actually seems like it was written as part of a dare. Overall, they could have really hit this one out of the park, but the old adage of strike while the iron is hot appears to have doomed this project from the start.

A few notes on the CD re-issue, I'm confused about the choices of bonus material for the CD, as "I Don't Think You Know Me" also shows up as a bonus track on THE MONKEES, and "I'll Spend My Life With You" was originally released on HEADQUARTERS. While I understand there may not be an unlimited amount of material for bonus tracks, it would be nice to have consistency across albums. Another issue that may be of interest only to me, all of the re-issued CD's have only a band picture on the CD, and no other identifiable markings, other than the obligatory inventory #. I purchased all of the re-issues, and listen to them as a group. However, finding out which CD goes in which case is a harder task than I would like.

The Monkees?Are these not the guys that can't play and their music stinks?Yeah,whatever.This is an excellent collection which includes the above mentioned song(which was covered by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band for all those who think the Monkees are not cool)with a slightly longer ending.It also includes "Valleri" with the complete ending.My personal favorite is "Saturday's Child" written By David Gates of the group Bread.All the songs are great and if you have the earlier Monkees Greatest Hits,you have something special indeed.But, don't take it from me, just kick back and listen to some great happy music.Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!
