Made an edit with the original track planned for the episode "Monkees at the Movies." I used AI to help with deleting the ending of "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" from the end of the romp. I hope you all enjoy.
Thought I would share my Father’s Day gift from my daughter,the Monkeemobile model kit. I first built one of these as a kid when it was released in the ‘60’s and loved it,so this was a nice trip down memory lane.Hope you like it 😀
hello! i have recently found out about the 70s movie Micky was in called Keep Off My Grass! and i’ve been searching for it everywhere on streaming. the best i’ve found was the trailer on Internet Archive, beyond that it seems like a lost media situation. i sincerely hope it isn’t, does anyone have any idea where I can watch it online?
Going through an old hard drive, found this pic. This would have been around the time I saw HEAD in a theater in Orange County. I don't know the source of the pic (wasn't me). I was 14 at the time and didn't drive on my own to Hollywood until a couple of years later.
I spent part of Summer '68 in Greenwich Village. Visited Davy's Zilch boutique and the fantastic poster shop Personality Posters (they were a big deal). I bought these posters there. The other shots I tore out of Monkee Spectacular magazine (edited by Ann Moses). That's my brother, who to this day will randomly recite lyrics to me from Listen to the Band or PO Box 9847 because he heard them so often through the bedroom wall.
Saw that post about the billboard for Head. In your opinion, what marketing might have helped Head become successful? Maybe either positioning it in advance for what it was trying to do or hitting the right market for it?
I watched it once and certain song segments work but it doesn't work as a whole for me (just my opinion). I don't think anything really could have saved it except as some kind of dare marketing.
So, I have been been reading the Monkees by Sandoval and as I read day by day I noticed that Mike Nesmith seems to be very involved in music production from the very beginning. Given that he was young and only 2 years musical experience, how did that happen right away? Also, I am wondering, since he was producing and making decisions so early, why did he become so disgruntled over “lack of creative control”?
Vincent Beck plays 3 different villains throughout the run of the show. Very fun actor and very sad to see his career cut so short.

Now a recent remix!
Looking to see if any UK Monkee fans have any recordings of the television show from their reruns on BBC and ITV? Some of those reruns have some unique song variations that haven’t been seen anywhere since.
Side A of the intended
I guess the video file size is taking up too much space so it won’t let me add the additional photo but I did also get the 12 inch Mickey action figure from my parents
Thoughts on do you feel it too. I think Davy does a great job on the vocals. Nearly perfect actually. Wish there was a bit more bite to the music but love the song as it is.
We're halfway through 2026, and I think it's already considered the best year for Monkees releases. In January, we got "The A's, The B's & The Monkees," the definitive collection of the band's singles based on their five-year career (although they omitted "Do It In The Name Of Love"). In February, a deluxe edition of "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd." was released, containing new, previously unreleased audio and new stereo mixes (although honestly, they should have released this next year, since it's the album's 60th anniversary). At the end of May, we got a new edition of "Good Times" for its 10th anniversary. And then this comes along...
What is this? A new Monkees compilation album is coming, but this time focusing on their television series—the definitive soundtrack of the show that started it all. Since the Monkees had two seasons per recording year (1966-1967), this release will focus on the first season. So (I imagine, and God willing) the complete soundtrack will be released next year, featuring a collection of songs from the second season.
This new compilation will be released on vinyl (featuring the highlights), 2 CDs (all the songs), and a Blu-ray disc that includes 10 episodes from the first season. The Blu-ray disc will feature episodes chosen by fans and beautifully restored (as the announcement states... I imagine the episodes are taken directly from the 2016 Blu-ray box set).
As a preview of this album, the television version of "She" has been released.
The album will be available on August 14, 2026.
Personal opinion: Rhino has made the best catalog acquisition of a band in question (equivalent to Warner Music's acquisition of The Smiths' catalog). Regarding the relationship between Rhino and The Monkees, they've undoubtedly done their best (with physical editions of their TV series, some box sets, and new studio albums), but with this, they've set the bar high. After years of having the band's monaural TV mixes on box sets or deluxe releases (most of which aren't available for streaming), we're finally going to have a proper (theoretically two) album based on the series that started it all. And as a die-hard fan of the band, this release is worth having (whether on streaming or physical media). Almost every TV series I know has a soundtrack album; With The Monkees I thought it wasn't necessary, since we have their discography to enjoy, but with the arrival of "Made For TV", everything will change.
Today saw the release of "She (Mono TV Version)" on Spotify. Which made me notice that they back-released (the release dates have 1966-1969) several Monkee singles. Not all of them. The image quality varies. And it's interesting that the "I'm A Believer" single is actually the EP. Is there any information about this at all or if the other singles will be added as well?
