UPDATE HISTORY
2024

JULY

 

JULY 11:

 

Just announced Headquarters double LP on red & blue vinyl.
Pre-order here. To be released on August 16.

The Run Out Groove label (owned by Warner Music) is apparently dead
but Rhino is going to continue the gatefold 2 LP format.

I hope they continue with the tip on jacket style that ROG used on the first 2 LPs

Tip on is an old-style sleeve where the the cover art is not printed directly on the surface
of the cardboard sleeve, but instead is printed on an outer layer of paper.
If you look at the back of a tip-on sleeve you'll see where the front paper folds over at the corners.

Davy Jones self-released Just For The Record Volume 4 on cassette
has been found and added to his page. This is the 1996 version.
It is unknown if Davy pressed more tapes to match the '99 CD.

JULY 7:

The cassette version of 20 Greatest Hits from Portugal

Found two copies; each with a different shell color
The liner notes are hilarious because there are so many things
they got wrong about them.

 

JULY 4:

Created a new page for these Rhino CDs from Australia

Rhino had a huge reissue program going for the Monkees in the mid 90s
with Canada, Europe & Japan reissuing all 9 studio albums plus other compilations
but for Australia I've only found these three.

 

Added the recent HEAD release to the Japanese Oldays page

 

and created a page for the cassette version of the UK release
for The Definitive Monkees

 

JULY 3:

Acquired the first two Arista CDs from Canada and created a new page for them

Nothing really different compared to the US releases,
except the inserts are printed on thicker paper.
