The Monkees were an American pop rock group formed in November 1965. The band consisted of Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork, and Micky Dolenz. Known for their catchy tunes and energetic performances, they quickly gained popularity during the 1960s.

Tragically, *Davy Jones* passed away on February 29, 2012. His charming vocals and dynamic stage presence will always be remembered by fans around the world.

*Peter Tork*, a multi-talented musician who contributed vocals, bass, keyboards, and guitar to The Monkees' sound, sadly left us on February 21, 2019. His musical versatility was a key element in the band's success.

*Michael Nesmith*, known for his distinctive voice and skilled guitar playing, sadly passed away on December 10th, 2021. His contributions to The Monkees' music will forever be cherished by fans old and new.

The Monkees, one of the most recognizable names in the annals of pop music history, are an American rock and pop band originally active between 1966 and 1971, with reunion albums and tours in the decades that followed. The original line up was Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones. The group was conceived in 1965 by TV producers Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider specifically for the sitcom series the Monkees, which aired from 1966 to 1968. The music was originally supervised by record producer Don Kirschner, backed by the songwriting duo of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. 

The Monkees self-titled debut and second albums were meant to be a soundtrack to the first season of the TV show, to cash in on the audience.Their first single, “Last Train To Clarksville” b/w “Take A Giant Step,” was released in August 1966, just weeks prior to the TV broadcast debut. In conjunction with the first broadcast of the TV show on September 12, 1966, NBC and Columbia had a major hit. The first long-playing album, The Monkees, was released a month later; it spent 13 weeks at #1 and stayed on the Billboard charts for 78 weeks.

Run out Groove reissue their iconic debut album as a deluxe 2LP set with bonus tracks (several of which are unreleased mixes) and are having lacquers cut from the analog tapes for the first time since 1966 - creating The Definitive version of this album since original release!
