The Monkees "HEAD" on Rhino 180g vinyl - a must have!

I am NOT a Monkees fan. I was a child when the show was on TV, it was kind of a kiddie show and by the time I was a teen hard rock, prog, and all sorts of cool stuff was in vogue where I grew up and The Monkees were really for the worst kind of geeks. Still, there was always a guilty pleasure to many of the songs that kept popping up on AM radio in my parents car.

Head is a very different matter. It's a remarkably cool, funny, trippy record that holds together very well and is a really fun listen. It is a period piece. It's pretty sincere, pretty psychedelic if at times trying too hard to be hip, has some good songs, and overall it's a trip.

Well remastered, although can be a bit bright, by Chris Bellman. A good RTI pressing for Rhino. A very cool reproduction of the original mirror cover that is a bitch to get a good picture of. Highly recommended. You might find yourself listening to it more often than you would expect.
