3.0 out of 5 stars Decent compilation brought down by odd choices 28 May 2011
By erictheb
Format:Audio CD
Released in conjunction with the Monkees 45th Anniversary reunion tour, Monkeemania is chock full of Monkees hits, misses, could-have-beens and fan faves. It is very likely that it was compiled in consultation with the Monkees- Davy Jones in particular is my guess-as this compilation more or less features all the tracks on the current tour setlist- including all the songs from the HEAD soundtrack (tho not the kinetic live version of Circle Sky).

Generously totaling 57 tracks on 2 filled CDs, Monkeemania is a decent compilation with crisp mastering- but the poor choices on some tracks/mixes/versions bring it down to 3 stars.

Personally I don't think the bizarre, grating Your Auntie Grizelda deserves placement, with all due respect to Mr Tork. When Love Comes Knockin betrays the hotness of the mastering loudness level on the whole, the treble being quite irritating. A Little Bit Me, is the inferior mono version with too loud clapping. The stereo version with double tracked stereo vocals is preferable but rare- it's on the That Was Then... Arista compilaton CD. She Hangs Out is the lame deleted mono B-side version, not the funky, punchy Pisces re-make. Jones sounds like he's sleepwalking thru the vocals- I dont care about the historical import in the Nesmith-Kirshner War. All of Your Toys is also an inferior mono mix with the bad edit on the break. There are at least 2 excellent stereo mixes available.

Someone's fondness for the mono single mixes keeps the otherwise dynamic Pleasant Valley Sunday, a song that demands a stereo panorama, grounded. Yet high-charting B-side Words is thankfully in stereo.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Monkee Nostalgia 16 Aug 2011
By Mr. Tl Harrison
Format:Audio CD
Ordered this to coincide with a Monkees book I received as a gift. It was nice to read how the songs were put together and then listen to the finished tracks. Shame Sky don't show re-runs again.
