Monkeemania (40 Timeless Hits)


Monkeemania is a Monkees compilation released in Australia and New Zealand in 1979 and 1980, respectively. It contains 40 of the Monkees' songs.
Previous Monkees compilations usually featured the six biggest hit A-sides from the group combined with more esoteric choices. By contrast, this compilations includes all six hit singles and their B-sides, popular tracks from the album and TV series, some of the more obscure singles and album tracks, and three previously unreleased tracks: "Love to Love," "Steam Engine," and a live version of "Circle Sky." The song selection made the album the most comprehensive Monkees compilation of its time.
The Monkees' master tapes in Australia were unavailable at that time so they opted the use of "needledrop" vinyl recordings of songs, resulting in various sound quality issues.
