Our Take

Buckle up, music lovers, because we're diving headfirst into the groovy world of The Monkees with their Original Album Series. This five-disc collection is like a time machine, whisking us back to the 60s when these lads were ruling the airwaves with their infectious tunes.

Kicking off with their self-titled debut album, The Monkees showcase their signature blend of jangly guitars, sweet harmonies, and cheeky lyrics. Tracks like "Last Train to Clarksville" and "I'm a Believer" are absolute bangers that have stood the test of time.

Moving on to More of The Monkees, we see the band maturing both musically and lyrically. They experiment with different sounds and styles, from the psychedelic vibes of "Your Auntie Grizelda" to the folk-rock influences of "She."

Headquarters marks a turning point for the band as they take full control of their music, playing their own instruments and writing their own songs. The result is a raw, stripped-back sound that perfectly captures the gritty energy of the 60s.

Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. sees The Monkees embracing their eclectic influences, from country twang on tracks like "Love is Only Sleeping" to baroque pop on "Pleasant Valley Sunday." It's a wild ride that showcases the band's versatility and creativity.

Closing out the collection with The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees, we see the band pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories. Tracks like "Daydream Believer" and "Valleri" are instant classics that will have you singing along in no time. Overall, The Monkees Original Album Series is a must-have for any music fan looking to relive the glory days of 60s pop. Let the good times roll!

About the artist

The Monkees

The Monkees may have started as a manufactured group, but they quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the wild and wacky world of 1960s pop music. Formed in 1966 for a television show about a fictional band, the Monkees soon became a real-life phenomenon, churning out hit after hit and capturing the hearts of fans around the globe. With their infectious blend of pop, rock, and psychedelia, the Monkees crafted a sound that was as unique as it was catchy. From the jangly guitars of "Last Train to Clarksville" to the dreamy harmonies of "Daydream Believer," their music was a heady swirl of melody and mischief that captivated audiences and critics alike. Despite facing criticism for their manufactured origins, the Monkees proved themselves to be serious musicians in their own right. With members like Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, and Michael Nesmith each bringing their own talents to the table, the band's sound was eclectic and endlessly entertaining. Over the years, the Monkees have enjoyed a rollercoaster ride of success and turmoil, with breakups, reunions, and tragedy all playing a part in their tumultuous history. But through it all, their music has endured, standing the test of time and cementing their legacy as one of the most iconic bands of the swinging sixties. So, next time you feel like taking a trip down memory lane, why not put on a Monkees record and let their infectious tunes transport you back to a simpler, groovier time? Just remember, as the old saying goes: "Hey hey, we're the Monkees, and people say we monkey around" - and we wouldn't have it any other way.
