Free Music Review: Mirror-Image Monkees Offering
Hit: 3 Stars
This one is a mixed bag: on one hand it's great to have this collection of songs (my main reason for buying it was the song called "Laugh" [originally done by The Tokens], a delightful little piece of fluff that is so typically 1960s); on the other, it's a bit pricey - not only for someone interested in only one or two otherwise unavailable tracks but also because it is a 2-CD set that is essentially mirror-image redundant, i.e., both CDs contain the same tracks - the only difference being that one is in mono and the other in stereo. I didn't realize this until after I received the set. Also, the stereo remasters/mixes are a bit harsh soundwise (something I've noticed with many re-releases of classic tunes).
Still, if you love The Monkees and want a CD that contains a lot of their material on one recording - and don't mind paying what to me is a slightly exhorbitant price considering the inclusion of the IMO unnecessary mono disc - I can recommend it.
