Monkeemania


This was the first Monkee LP I ever bought (even though I got the cassette version).
The double LP, gatefold cover, sleeves with extensive liner notes, discography & photos,
make this truly unique for its time.

"I was heavily involved with this project way back then, it was important
to get on the market as there was no Monkees material available on the market
at the time....we used to scour second hand shops and make do with
compilation cassettes recorded from TV. The sound quality, or lack thereof,
was that there were no masters of the Monkee recordings available
in Australia and we used needle drop recordings from the best quality copies
of the records that could be found among my friends and acquaintances."
