LOS ANGELES – Rhino Handmade continues a busy 2010 with the long awaited release of the deluxe boxed set of THE BIRDS, THE BEES & THE MONKEES. The three-CD set includes mono and stereo mixes of the original album on individual discs, each expanded with rare and unreleased tracks. The third disc collects more than two-dozen unreleased tracks culled from the album’s sprawling sessions complemented by a number of rare recordings. This Rhino Handmade exclusive release is available for pre-order now at www.rhino.com for $59.98 and will ship in early February. The first 1000 orders will come accompanied by a bonus 45 that includes two unreleased tracks: acoustic versions of “St. Matthew” and “Lady’s Baby.” Additionally, the first 500 customers who pre-order can also receive a vintage tour poster (while supplies last) for an extra $5 to cover shipping costs.
Originally released in 1968, THE BIRDS, THE BEES & THE MONKEES features a trio of Top 40 hits, “Tapioca Tundra,” the group’s sixth million-selling single “Valleri” and the #1 “Daydream Believer.” The deluxe edition was produced by Monkees historian Andrew Sandoval, who also contributes comprehensive liner notes. The set comes in a deluxe box featuring a 3-D lenticular cover as well as a replica Monkees button from the era.
