Title: Monkeyshines--sort of
Product review: Anyone who has a modicum of interest in The Monkees should consider buying this album. There are a number of really good tracks on this disc including "Goin' Down", "Randy Scouse Git", "Words" and "Listen to the Band" to name just a few.Unfortunately, there are also a few duds on here that keep this disc from being a first-rate compilation. Rhino would've done well to omit "D.W. Washburn" and "Porpoise Song" as these songs signal the beginning of the end for The Monkees and are otherwise forgettable pieces. Ditto for "That Was Then, This Is Now." Instead, Rhino should've included lesser known but far better material like "Teardrop City" or "Man Without A Dream".Despite these minor weaknesses, this is album is definitely worth adding to your collection.
