Here they come, walking down the street...well, you know the rest. The Monkees are back, this time via Run Out Groove Records.
"...the standard album tracks, lacquers will be cut from the original stereo analog tapes by Kevin Grey and Andrew Sandoval. It will be expanded to a 2LP set that includes rarities making their debut on vinyl...in a gatefold, tip-on style jacket with new liner notes by Andrew, and lots of photos.”
