A great deal of fun was had by the The Monkees and their fans during the course of the group’s 2014 official convention this past weekend, including Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork all being on hand to receive their plaques certifying the The Monkees’ induction into the American Pop Music Hall of Fame. Arguably the most tantalizing tidbit to emerge from the event, however, was the announcement that the trio would be kicking off a new tour in May, one which would be taking them along the east coast and through the Midwest.

Between Rhino Handmade reissuing The Monkees Present and Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork taking the stage together and touring throughout July and August, the summer of 2013 provided The Monkees fans a couple of pretty great months. After that, though, the guys went their separate ways – maybe you caught Mr. Nesmith on his solo tour a few months back – so it’s been pretty quiet on the The Monkees front.

The latest release in RHINO Handmade's lavish The Monkees boxed sets is packed with 85 tracks (60 previously unreleased) over 3 CD's – featuring the original album re-mastered, plus two extra discs packed with unreleased mixes, and never-before-heard songs.

This release is not available in stores or from any other online retailer - only at The Monkees.com.
