The Monkees
Listening Party

On August 15th, 2 Monkees reissues will be released: The Monkees and More of the Monkees.

The Monkees revisit their '66 debut and '67 follow-up with limited-edition reissues of the group's first two #1 albums. Rhino remasters and expands both albums for deluxe, double-disc sets that feature stereo and mono mixes of the original releases, rare alternate versions of album tracks, as well as previously unreleased tracks.

The Monkees formed in 1966 when Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork were picked out of a mass casting call to portray a band on a zany TV sitcom designed to mimic the madcap spirit of The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night. The group's first two releases combined for a total of 31 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Album chart and helped the group sell more than 16 million albums between 1966 and 1968-more than The Beatles and Rolling Stones combined.
