Info from The SecondDisc.com-
55 years ago, The Monkees took part in what TV Guide deemed to be "the Great Revolt of '67." Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork demanded creative control from impresario Don Kirshner - and won it. The group might have been brought together as actors portraying a band, but they were ready to build upon their phenomenal success and become that band in reality, too. The Headquarters album, The Monkees' third, was the startling result. It became their third consecutive No. 1 album in less than one year, and within two months of release had earned a Platinum sales certification in the U.S. for sales of more than two million copies. Now, that seminal album displaying The Monkees' hard-won creative freedom is being reissued as a deluxe 4CD/1-7" single box set from Rhino Records.
The November 18 release, exclusively through Monkees.com, serves as a teaser for Micky Dolenz's upcoming solo tour. Rhino's 55th anniversary box set boasts a whopping 101 tracks, of which 69 are previously unreleased. The never-before-heard material includes an all-new remix of the album from the original multitrack tapes as well as the debut of backing tracks made for the abortive Don Kirshner version of the album, early demos, and even some recordings which wouldn't be completed until the release of The Monkees' final studio album, Good Times!, in 2016. The box is limited to just 4,000 copies worldwide.
