DECEMBER 30:

The "More Of The Monkees" Box Set:

Page for just the bonus single:

 

DECEMBER 23:

An extraordinary find, never before seen cardboard slip cover
for the "Headquarters" 8-track:

As best Ed Reilly and I can tell this was most likely made when Colgems updated
the LPs and singles in late '69, and they may have also reissued
the other four clam shell 8-tracks in the same way.

A Pisces sold about that same time with an RCA cardboard slip-cover
is found on the Colgems 8 track page.

It's also quite likely these were sold through the
RCA Stereo 8 Tape Club, as the tape is exactly the same as the originals
with only the cases being different.

It's really amazing that in 50 years of looking the
larger collecting community did not know these existed.

 

DECEMBER 22:

'Pisces' with a hype sticker:

I've only seen this sticker on 3-4 copies, as most people would obviously
not keep the record in the shrink wrap. But still, I have several copies
of this record sealed that don't have this sticker,
so I don't know if it was a regional thing or what.

As a bonus it was a really nice stereo copy from
the Indianapolis pressing plant, which I didn't have.

Good news! Rhino started shipping out the MOTM Super Deluxe sets yesterday,
maybe someone will actually get it for Christmas!

Just in time for the Holidays I picked up this forgotten gem
from Rhino that they put out in 1988:

It has the 1986 updated version of "Christmas Is My Time Of Year".

 

DECEMBER 2:

Found this one recently, a double A-sided promo from Mexico
featuring Davy's first two singles.

"Rainy Jane/I Really Love You"
Finding any of his solo records from Mexico is pretty hard.
