EXTD= album More of the Monkees lived up to its title. It was more suc
EXTD=cessful commercially, spending an amazing 70 weeks on the Billboa
EXTD=rd charts and ultimately becoming the 12th biggest selling album 
EXTD=of all time. It had more producers and writers involved since big
EXTD=-shots like Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Jeff Barry and Neil Sed
EXTD=aka, as well as up-and-comers like Neil Diamond all grabbed for a
EXTD= piece of the pie after Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, the men who m
EXTD=ade the debut album such a smash, were elbowed out by music super
EXTD=visor Don Kirshner. The album also has more fantastic songs than 
EXTD=the debut. Tracks like "I'm a Believer," "She," "Mary, Mary," " (
EXTD=I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone," "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)," 
EXTD="Your Auntie Grizelda," and "Sometime in the Morning" are on just
EXTD= about every Monkees hits collection and, apart from the novelty 
EXTD="Grizelda," they are among the best pop/rock heard in the '60s or
EXTD= any decade since. The band themselves still had relatively littl
EXTD=e involvement in the recording process, apart from providing the 
EXTD=vocals along with Mike Nesmith's writing and producing of two tra
EXTD=cks (the hair-raising rocker "Mary, Mary" and the folk-rock gem "
EXTD=The Kind of Girl I Could Love"). In fact, they were on tour when 
EXTD=the album was released and had to go to the record shop and buy c
EXTD=opies for themselves. As with the first album though, it really d
EXTD=oesn't matter who was involved when the finished product is this 
EXTD=great. Listen to Micky Dolenz and the studio musicians rip throug
EXTD=h "Stepping Stone" or smolder through "She," listen to the powerf
EXTD=ul grooves of "Mary, Mary" or the heartfelt playing and singing o
EXTD=n "Sometime in the Morning" and dare to say the Monkees weren't a
EXTD= real band. They were! The tracks on More of the Monkees (with th
EXTD=e exception of the aforementioned "Your Auntie Grizelda " and the
EXTD= sickly sweet "The Day We Fell in Love," which regrettably introd
EXTD=uces the smarmy side of Davy Jones) stand up to the work of any o
EXTD=ther pop band operating in 1967. Real or fabricated, the Monkees 
EXTD=rate with any pop band of their era and More of the Monkees solid
EXTD=ifies that position. \n\n[In 1994 Rhino reissued More of the Monk
EXTD=ees with detailed notes from Monkees historian Andrew Sandoval an
EXTD=d five bonus tracks, including an early take on "I'm a Believer."
EXTD= It was a fine package and seemingly closed the books on the albu
EXTD=m. In 2006, Rhino, clearly caught up in the industry mania for re
EXTD=leasing Deluxe Editions of albums, again reissued the record as a
EXTD= double-disc set with new notes from Sandoval, mono and stereo ve
EXTD=rsions of the album, the bonus tracks from the original reissue, 
EXTD=an armload of rare tracks drawn from the three volumes of Missing
EXTD= Links set and even two previously unreleased recordings. The set
EXTD= looks enticing but to consumers weary of buying the same old rop
EXTD=e repackaged as gold, you have to ask: is it worth it? The simple
EXTD= answer is if you are even considering buying the set, you should
EXTD=. The mono version of the record is excellent, the songs burst ou
EXTD=t of your speakers and sound almost raw in comparison to the soft
EXTD=er stereo mixes. The booklet is crammed with amazing photos of th
EXTD=e band and the notes from Sandoval cover quite fascinating new gr
EXTD=ound with quotes from Jeff Barry, Micky Dolenz, and Mike Nesmith,
EXTD= among others. It's nice to have the rare tracks collected by rec
EXTD=ording date instead of randomly as they were on Missing Links. Th
EXTD=e rare tracks are all worth hearing too, especially the brassy "A
EXTD=pples, Peaches, Bananas and Pears" and early versions of "Words" 
EXTD=and "Valleri" (both tracks that would appear on later albums). Th
EXTD=e set skimps on unreleased tracks offering only a mono mix of "La
EXTD=dies Aid Society" and an alternate mix of "Tear Drop City," both 
EXTD=of which were lackluster Boyce and Hart penned and produced tunes
EXTD= that show a possible reason why Kirshner basically kicked them o
EXTD=ff the project. Again, if this set even lightly tickles your inte
EXTD=rest you should leap because you won't be disappointed.]  -- Tim

EXTD=ore of the Monkees" hit the pop charts like a shot across the bow
EXTD= of everything that seemed 'cool'. Teenagers destined to become h
EXTD=ippies hated the band, the TV show, and everything that the Monke
EXTD=es represented, feigning a preference for the more 'sophisticated
EXTD=' sounds of the Lovin' Spoonful and Buffalo Springfield. Little d
EXTD=id they know that either of these bands would have sold their cre
EXTD=dibility for a piece of the Monkees superstardom; in point of fac
EXTD=t, the Lovin' Spoonful almost were the Monkees but were rejected 
EXTD=for a lack of personality, while Stephen Stills (of the Buffalo S
EXTD=pringfield) got axed for the gap between his front teeth. "More o
EXTD=f the Monkees" shipped with pre-orders of 1.5 million copies and 
EXTD=then continued to sell in significant quantities, so nay-sayers w
EXTD=ho figured the band as one-hit wonders had to quickly reformulate
EXTD= their perspective. \nStylistically speaking. "More of the Monkee
EXTD=s" duplicates the layout of their first album, but with exaggerat
EXTD=ed characteristics. The good bits are much better, while the bad 
EXTD=bits are almost unbearable. Neil Diamond and the team of Carole K
EXTD=ing and Gerry Goffin provide some of the best songs of their care
EXTD=ers ("I'm a Believer" and "Sometime in the Morning", respectively
EXTD=). Monkee Mike Nesmith proves that he is exceptionally qualified 
EXTD=to write his own material for the band, too. "Mary Mary" and "The
EXTD= Kind of Girl I Could Love" are album highlights, with a countrif
EXTD=ied, rocking edge that must have put some doubt in the minds of t
EXTD=hose who claimed that the bandmembers could not play their own in
EXTD=struments. Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart provided hits for the first
EXTD= album, and although they didn't provide the hit single here, the
EXTD=y would have to settle for writing the best Monkees song ever, "(
EXTD=I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone", and the hook-laden opening track, 
EXTD="She." These six tracks mark a high-water mark in the band's care
EXTD=er, but the balance of the album shoots a hole in the bucket. "Yo
EXTD=ur Auntie Grizelda" is an oafish attempt at humor, but not nearly
EXTD= as bad as the forced stupidity of "Laugh," sung by the hapless D
EXTD=avy Jones. As bad as that track is, poor Davy is also saddled wit
EXTD=h the most painfully insipid love song ever written, a sappy moon
EXTD=-pie called "The Day We Fall in Love," (which he sings as "luff")
EXTD=. \nThe dual disks present the album in both stereo and mono, wit
EXTD=h little discernible difference to the casual listener. The real 
EXTD=bonus is in the extra tracks, which add a few excellent songs tha
EXTD=t were woefully overlooked, along with alternate mixes of songs f
EXTD=rom other albums. If you have ever harbored doubts about this ban
EXTD=d, then it's high time you check your preconceived notions at the
EXTD= door. When "More of the Monkees" is good, it is very, very good,
EXTD= so relax, lighten up and be very grateful that CD changers make 
EXTD=it easy to skip over the bad tracks. A- Tom Ryan\n\n\nAMAZON.COM

EXTD=xe reissues, but one thing I was very excited about on this parti
EXTD=cular release I haven't seen mentioned: The mono mix of this albu
EXTD=m contains the longer mix of "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone". \n\n
EXTD=I own a copy of the original vinyl mono release of this album, an
EXTD=d have been hoping for years that Rhino would release this intrig
EXTD=uing variation of "Stepping Stone". It's similar to the mono sing
EXTD=le mix ( previously released on the Rhino greatest hits CD ) with
EXTD= deleted background vocals, but the ending of the song is longer 
EXTD=before the final fade-out. This version was heard once on the tel
EXTD=evision series (in the episode where the lads disguise themselves
EXTD= as the 'Purple Flower Gang' to defeat a mob boss ) and only rele
EXTD=ased on the mono album. I'm thrilled to finally have it on CD!\n\n
EXTD=\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nI wanted to write a nasty review, b
EXTD=ut it's too darn good, August 28, 2006\nReviewer: Micaloneus (the
EXTD= Cosmos)\nThis deluxe edition of More Of The Monkees is so nicely
EXTD= done (much like the debut), I honestly couldn't write anything n
EXTD=asty. It's been presented with love and care. \n\nThe sound quali
EXTD=ty is great in both mono & stereo. It's very similar in sound qua
EXTD=lity to the Beatles Capitol Records releases that just came out r
EXTD=ecently. The bonus material is entertaining, as well as strong, I
EXTD= also loved some of the stuff I'd never heard before. The booklet
EXTD= is also really good, with lots of rare photos and the in depth s
EXTD=tory of the making of this album and what lied ahead. Really, if 
EXTD=these first two albums hadn't been so strong, Monkeemania would h
EXTD=ave never taken off as it did. \n\nThe overall packaging is very 
EXTD=classy. It makes me hope that The Beatles get this kind of treatm
EXTD=ent through Apple records, or my favorite band, Deep Purple get t
EXTD=his sort of stunning re-packaging from Rhino. \n\nI grew up on th
EXTD=e mono versions of the Monkees albums, all the way up to their fi
EXTD=fth album "The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees" in April 1968, so I
EXTD= was really thrilled to see that mono finally made it to CD. I've
EXTD= always thought that the mono mixes were better overall, giving a
EXTD=n overall impression of a heavier rock band sound. Auntie Grizeld
EXTD=a for example, is a much heavier sounding mix, with the distorted
EXTD= guitars brought to the forefront. Also, Peters "vocal" solo is m
EXTD=ixed down, making it blend in better. Interestingly, the last bit
EXTD= of Peters vocal solo is mixed out completely, while the guitars 
EXTD=are turned up louder, changing the vibe a little. Nice to hear th
EXTD=at again. \n\nAs for the stereo mastering, it sounded overall bet
EXTD=ter than the original Rhino CD's, but I'm not completely sure the
EXTD=re wasn't some added compression, the signal might have been push
EXTD=ed harder than the older Rhino discs. Or, maybe that's just the w
EXTD=ay this old material was recorded, and the new mastering brings o
EXTD=ut that sort of thing. \n\nBut on the whole, a wonderful job. Let
EXTD='s hope the next four albums (released in mono & stereo) get this
EXTD= same kind of royal treatment. \n\nSure they seem to be milking t
EXTD=he Monkee-cow, but when it's this strong, milk it baby. Next up, 
EXTD=Headquarters? \n\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nAnother Good Al
EXTD=bum!, July 10, 2005\nReviewer: Morten Vindberg\nThe Monkees' seco
EXTD=nd album was rushed out in early 1967 in wake of the success of t
EXTD=heir TV series and their chart singles. The group had been frustr
EXTD=ated by not being allowed to play on the first album, and they ha
EXTD=d expected that the second album would be different with the memb
EXTD=ers playing a bigger role in the recordings. This was not to be; 
EXTD=the album was released without the band's knowledge, and their fr
EXTD=ustration grew. The group hated the album. \n\nNone the less; it'
EXTD=s just as good an album as their first. The concept was more or l
EXTD=ess the same again. Fine pop-tunes written by some of the most pr
EXTD=olific songwriters of the time. Neil Diamond wrote their big inte
EXTD=rnational hit "I'm a Believer" and the fine "Look Out Here Comes 
EXTD=Tomorrow". Goffin/King wrote the fine "Sometime in the Morning" a
EXTD=nd the great bonus-track "I Don't Think You Know Me". Producers a
EXTD=nd songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart wrote "She" and the now
EXTD= classic "I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone". Neil Sedaka's "When Love 
EXTD=Comes Knocking" is another highlight on the album. \n\nOnce again
EXTD= the Monkees' own fine songwriter Mike Nesmith was allowed to pro
EXTD=duce his own songs "Mary Mary" and "The Kind of Girl I Could Love
EXTD=". \n\nA few misses is there too. "The Day We Fall in Love" and "
EXTD=Auntie Grizelda" are tracks that may have had some justification 
EXTD=in 1967; today they are close to impossible to listen to. Skip th
EXTD=ose tracks and enjoy the rest of the album. Good bonus-tracks!!\n
EXTD=\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nMonkees Roll with Another Pop Hit
EXTD=, May 11, 2003\nReviewer: Wil (AL)\nSure, the boys we know as the
EXTD= Monkees had little to do with the production of this album; they
EXTD= didn't have much to do with their debut album either. After all,
EXTD= they were actor/singers, hired to play a band on a TV show. But 
EXTD=thanks to this disc, the quiet rumblings of Michael Nesmith and (
EXTD=to a lesser degree) Peter Tork grew into some major noise about t
EXTD=heir lack of input. This disc would be the last with musical dire
EXTD=ctor Don Kirshner at the helm.\nI don't think the band had a vali
EXTD=d complaint with the music though. This album features some of th
EXTD=e best early Monkee-era pop, most of which was (over)played on th
EXTD=eir weekly TV series, which helped to propel this disc to #1. Als
EXTD=o, having hits like "I'm A Believer" and "Steppin' Stone" didn't 
EXTD=hurt either.\nOther notable tunes are "She", the Nesmith-penned (
EXTD=and Micky Dolenz sang) "Mary, Mary", "Look Out(here comes tomorro
EXTD=w)", and the other Nesmith track, "The Kind Of Girl I Could Love"
EXTD=.\nHaving said that, Nez and Co. really hated "I'm A Believer", a
EXTD=nd didn't want it on the album. Good thing they hadn't gained con
EXTD=trol from Kirshner yet! For all it's bubblegum sweetness, it is a
EXTD= good solid pop tune, made more special by Dolenz's emotive deliv
EXTD=ery. That guy could make dirt sound good.\nAnd then there are the
EXTD= ear sores, in the form of the goofy Tork sung "Your Auntie Grize
EXTD=lda", which is cute but is ultimately ruined by all the inane voc
EXTD=al gobbledygook in the middle of the track. And the spoken word D
EXTD=avy Jones ballad "The Day We Fall In Love" is about the worst thi
EXTD=ng ever put on disc. This track should have been burned, or atlea
EXTD=st given to Pat Boone. \nSo the guys had some valid complaints, b
EXTD=ut on the whole, the disc is solid. The production is a bit more 
EXTD=pop than their first disc, which featured a more rounded "rock" s
EXTD=ound (thanks largely to the direction of composer/producers Boyce
EXTD= and Hart). And the album cover may have been totally hated by th
EXTD=e Monkees for being a copy of Rubber Soul, and for being used out
EXTD=side of the JC Penney's ad that it was originally supposed to be 
EXTD=used for, but it takes nothing away from the fun, catchy atmosphe
EXTD=re of this album.\n\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nAn Enjoyable
EXTD= Hodgepodge, March 17, 2000\nReviewer: "nanker" (New York)\nWitho
EXTD=ut Boyce and Hart, producers of the first album, overseeing this 
EXTD=second Monkees album, the quality was erratic. Colgems, the Monke
EXTD=es' record label, took what seems like a random scoop of Monkees 
EXTD=recordings made with different producers and different styles, an
EXTD=d quickly stitched together this January 1967 release, giving the
EXTD= overall impression of a consumer product, rather than a well-tho
EXTD=ught-out album. As a result, alongside top notch tunes like the s
EXTD=mash 'I'm A Believer,' the proto-punk 'I'm Not Your Stepping Ston
EXTD=e' (which, in less than three minutes, earned the Monkees lifetim
EXTD=e respect from garage rock groups) the hard-rocking 'She,' the pl
EXTD=easantly subdued 'Sometime In The Morning,' the goofy but endeari
EXTD=ng 'Your Auntie Grizelda,' and Mike Nesmith's classic 'Mary Mary,
EXTD=' were some half-decent picks like 'Hold On Girl' and 'Laugh' (wh
EXTD=ich suffers from lame lyrics.) And Monkees fans generally agree t
EXTD=hat 'The Day We Fall In Love,' a schmaltzy instrumental backing t
EXTD=o Davy whispering sweet nothings in your ear, should never have h
EXTD=appened. \nThe bonus tracks are quite interesting. 'I Don't Think
EXTD= You Know Me' (a song they did not release in the sixties, but ha
EXTD=ve seen FOUR versions of plucked from their archives since 1987) 
EXTD=is solid bubblegum, but Peter Tork's shaky lead vocals, and the e
EXTD=qually shaky backing vocals from his three mates, will make you s
EXTD=mile and root for them. An alternate mix of 'Look Out (Here Comes
EXTD= Tomorrow)' contains a thankfully rejected idea that will make yo
EXTD=u laugh (if only in a 'What were they thinking?' style.) And it's
EXTD= neat to hear another pass at 'I'm A Believer.'\n\nSo, in short, 
EXTD=not quite as strong as their debut album, but well worth a listen
EXTD=.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nThe #1 Album of 1967 (and a gl
EXTD=impse of the Future), December 24, 1999\nReviewer: Henry R. Kujaw
EXTD=a ("The Forbidden Zone" (Camden, NJ))\nI never liked this as much
EXTD= as the other Monkees albums, but it took me ages to really learn
EXTD= why. An entire album worth of great songs by Boyce & Hart got sh
EXTD=oved aside so that a LOT of producers & writers could get a piece
EXTD= of what was a guaranteed best-seller. Those songs turned up on t
EXTD=he TV show, and on a wide number of their later albums. Instead, 
EXTD=we got a jumbled set-- but not without merits.\n"I'm A Believer",
EXTD= "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)", "Sometime In The Morning" and 
EXTD="The Kind Of Girl I Could Love" all rank among my favorite Monkee
EXTD=s songs! And "When Love Comes Knockin' (At Your Door)" and "Hold 
EXTD=On Girl" are great romantic tunes with touching lyrics & catchy m
EXTD=elodies. On the other hand, "She" took years to grow on me (it tu
EXTD=rned out MUCH more powerful when they did it live in the late 80'
EXTD=s!) and I believe the single version of "Steppin' Stone" (found o
EXTD=n the Rhino GREATEST HITS) is BETTER than the album take-- someth
EXTD=ing it shares with "Pleasant Valley Sunday". You can burn the res
EXTD=t (as Sir Guy Grand once said) although "The Day We Fall In Love"
EXTD= DID inspire the absolutely HILARIOUS cover version by Deacon Lun
EXTD=chbox on the HEAR NO EVIL comp CD (imagine the words as if spoken
EXTD= by Yosemite Sam!) so even that wasn't all bad. And you know-- sa
EXTD=d to say, ALL those producers gave a preview of how too many albu
EXTD=ms THESE days are put together. (See recent releases by Cher, Ric
EXTD=ky Martin, Britney Spears, etc...)\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIE
EXTD=W\nNot too terrible but no day at Disneyland!, March 17, 2005\nRe
EXTD=viewer: Joseph Mattaino (Winchester, Virginia United States)\n"Mo
EXTD=re of the Monkees" is definitely an album in paradox. We have the
EXTD= absolute greatest hit the Monkees ever did: "I'm a Believer" on 
EXTD=just about the most mediocre album the Monkees did during the ear
EXTD=ly period. \n\nWell, don't get me wrong. The album is not totally
EXTD= bad. There are some very good highlights, the best being "I'm a 
EXTD=Believer", "Look Out, Here Comes Tomorrow", "Mary Mary", and "I'm
EXTD= Not Your Steppin' Stone". Then there is the filler material whic
EXTD=h make the album so-so. Then... then.. there are those tracks tha
EXTD=t make the album ... well, a little less than so-so. \n\nThe trac
EXTD=k "Your Auntie Grazelda" is a case in point. Mike Nesmith is defi
EXTD=nitely one, if not the most talented member of the group and is c
EXTD=apable of writing and singing superb material. The track "Your Au
EXTD=ntie Grazelda" is not quite part of that superb material. The lyr
EXTD=ics are neither humorous nor serious. They're just stupid. The so
EXTD=ng closes with Mike doing absurd noises such as buzzing his lips 
EXTD=and making gargle sounds. If I personally wanted to listen to gar
EXTD=gle sounds, all I would have to do is listen to someone gargle wi
EXTD=th Listerine in the morning. I wouldn't have to pay money to by a
EXTD=n album. I don't think the world would have ended if Mike left th
EXTD=e lip buzzing and gargle sounds out of the track. \n\nThe worst t
EXTD=rack of all is "The Day We Fall in Love" with Davy Jones as the l
EXTD=ead vocal. If Davy were to do that track live on stage today with
EXTD= the political climate the way it is, I'm sure the women in the a
EXTD=udience would either sue Davy for sexual harassment or the author
EXTD=ities would haul him into a mental hospital. Anyhow he's too corn
EXTD=y on the song to make it a love song. The song is NOT romantic. T
EXTD=he song is too slow to be a rock song. It is too unfunny to be a 
EXTD=humorous song. It is too embarrassing to listen to in order to ma
EXTD=ke it worthy of a Monkee album. What's left that's good about the
EXTD= song? Well, I can't figure it out but I'm sure someone can. \n\n
EXTD=I cannot help but notice that there were too wonderful tracks dur
EXTD=ing that period that were left off and thrown into the can. They 
EXTD=were "All the King's Horses" and "You Don't Know Me At All". If t
EXTD=hose two were included on the record, "More of the Monkees" would
EXTD= have been hailed as one of the greatest albums of that period. \n
EXTD=\nOK, now that the album has been released on CD, one of the trac
EXTD=ks, "You Don't Know Me At All" was included as an extra, which ce
EXTD=rtainly helps. \n\nThose two tracks should have been included on 
EXTD=the original album in the 60s. The OTHER two, "Your Auntie Grazel
EXTD=da" and "The Day We Fall in Love", should have been the ones thro
EXTD=wn into the can. However, it is said that "people choose their he
EXTD=roes strangely". I guess that applies to music producers. They ch
EXTD=oose their album material very, VERY "strangley". \n\nI give this
EXTD= record three stars. This album was not truly terrible, but was n
EXTD=o day at Disneyland either. \n\n\nHalf.com Details \nContributing
