even exists to have released this.

Deluxe Edition

Released on May 18, 1999
$19.98

R2 75785

The booklet and liner notes are the same.

The disc was upgraded to include a Monkee computer screensaver.
Curiously it doesn't mention the screen saver anywhere in or on the tin case/booklet.
Only on a sticker on the front. If you buy one opened you would never even know it was there.

There were 'only' 20,000 made according to this barely readable ad:

R2 72190 / 081227219024

This was re-issued sometime after Rhino moved back
to Los Angeles (from Burbank), which happed in March 2019.

The yellow box around "Greatest Hits" on the front cover is gone
and the blue stripe on the left is darker and stays blue all the way to the top

On the back the font is differnt for the song titles
and the Rhino logo has been updated to the current one

The CD was pressed in Germany and is considerably darker
