Our Take

The Monkees burst onto the scene in the swinging sixties, a manufactured pop group like no other. With their infectious tunes and chaotic antics, they quickly became a household name. Now, their self-titled debut album has been reissued as a Deluxe Edition, giving fans a chance to experience the groovy goodness all over again.

From the moment Micky Dolenz's cheeky vocals kick in on "Last Train to Clarksville", you know you're in for a wild ride. The jangly guitars, upbeat melodies, and clever lyrics are as timeless as ever, transporting listeners back to a time when paisley shirts and lava lamps reigned supreme.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. Tracks like "This Just Doesn't Seem to Be My Day" and "Take a Giant Step" show a darker, more introspective side to the band. Even in their most melancholy moments, The Monkees manage to infuse a sense of playfulness and charm that is undeniably their own.

The Deluxe Edition comes packed with bonus tracks, demos, and live recordings, giving die-hard fans a treasure trove of goodies to devour. Whether you're a long-time Monkees enthusiast or a newbie eager to discover the magic of this iconic group, this reissue is a must-have for your collection. So, grab your tambourine, slip on your shades, and get ready to be transported to a world where monkeys ruled the airwaves. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

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.
