Free Music Notes for More of the Monkees (Dlx)
Free Music Review: I wanted to write a nasty review, but it's too darn good
Hit: 5 Stars
This deluxe edition of More Of The Monkees is so nicely done (much like the debut), I honestly couldn't write anything nasty. It's been presented with love and care.
The sound quality is great in both mono & stereo. It's very similar in sound quality to the Beatles Capitol Records releases that just came out recently. The bonus material is entertaining, as well as strong, I also loved some of the stuff I'd never heard before. The booklet is also really good, with lots of rare photos and the in depth story of the making of this album and what lied ahead. Really, if these first two albums hadn't been so strong, Monkeemania would have never taken off as it did.
The overall packaging is very classy. It makes me hope that The Beatles get this kind of treatment through Apple records, or my favorite band, Deep Purple get this sort of stunning re-packaging from Rhino.
I grew up on the mono versions of the Monkees albums, all the way up to their fifth album "The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees" in April 1968, so I was really thrilled to see that mono finally made it to CD. I've always thought that the mono mixes were better overall, giving an overall impression of a heavier rock band sound. Auntie Grizelda for example, is a much heavier sounding mix, with the distorted guitars brought to the forefront. Also, Peters "vocal" solo is mixed down, making it blend in better. Interestingly, the last bit of Peters vocal solo is mixed out completely, while the guitars are turned up louder, changing the vibe a little. Nice to hear that again.
As for the stereo mastering, it sounded overall better than the original Rhino CD's, but I'm not completely sure there wasn't some added compression, the signal might have been pushed harder than the older Rhino discs. Or, maybe that's just the way this old material was recorded, and the new mastering brings out that sort of thing.
But on the whole, a wonderful job. Let's hope the next four albums (released in mono & stereo) get this same kind of royal treatment.
Sure they seem to be milking the Monkee-cow, but when it's this strong, milk it baby. Next up, Headquarters?
