The question is, "Do we have to do this all over again?" And, the answer is, "Yes, we do!" In the latter part of 1968, the Monkees (Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, David Jones, Micky Dolenz) had just completed a successful 2-year run within the music industry. They released a string of hit singles (3 of them were number 1); they had issued 5 successful albums (4 of them went to number 1); they starred in a popular television sitcom for 2 seasons on NBC (2 Emmys, including Outstnding Comedy Series); and they embarked on a series of sold-out concerts across the country. So, where would they go next? Why, on the silver screen, of course. Their feature film debut would be called "HEAD", a truly surreal cinematic romp, with no coherent plot that features an assortment of guest stars and 6 songs. The soundtrack album was almost as free-spirited as the movie itself. Jack Nicholson would co-write and co-produce the film. He also served as the official album coordinator. Now, Rhino Handmade brings you this 4-disc deluxe edition. It includes the complete album in its entirety - plus, a unique selection of rare bonus tracks from the film's recording sessions. There is also a specially created photo book with liner notes that tells the fascinating stories regarding this legendary motion picture event. As an added bonus, there is also a unique 7" 45 RPM disc of the film's single "Porpoise Song" b/w "As We Go Along", presented in a faithful reproduction of the original picture sleeve. Many Monkees fans consider "HEAD" to be the group's crowning achievement, both artistically and musically. It has since gone on to recieve cult status in the world of cinema. This is the 4th Monkees title from Rhino Handmade. Altogether, this collection adds a whole new dimension to the enduring legacy that is "HEAD".Read full review
Although this is a limited set, and the price was a bit high, The box set is a great keep. Love the group, and listen to them alot. The extras are a great addition and the 3 disc with the interview was special.
