The Monkees: The Monkees (1966) MONO Vintage Colgems LP Transfer

Here it is, the Monkees terrific debut album in it's original MONO format, straight from a vintage Colgems vinyl pressing. Sure, the Monkees didn't do much more than sing on this record, but Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, the producers and writers behind the vast majority of the tunes on this record made sure that the music was concise, catchy and played by top notch session musicians who weren't just there to phone it in and get their check. The instrumental tracks are full of razor-edged jangly guitars, wild drums and just the right amount of psychedelia and fuzz sprinkled throughout. And you can't forget to include the fantastic vocal performances from Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones. The result is a dizzying cocktail of bubblegum, garage rock and pop balladry that gave the group major chart and commercial success.

Ripped to HQ .mp3 @ 320vbr using EAC's .WAV editor and dbpoweramp w/ LAME 3.97. Flat transfers, no pop removal, surface noise reduction or EQ changes.

Get the album HERE

Enjoy!
