Ken's Mix Cassette - 06 / 29 / 09

[Ken]

I thought I would revive this thread!

Today as the title states. I've gone through my cassettes and picked this:

Title:The Monkees - The Best Of
Cassette Type: Maxell XLII - 90min
Dolby: Yes (Dolby B)

It still plays great

All songs were taken from the "Listen To The Band" box set. The cassette was made not too long after I purchased the box back in 1991. I, along with my brother were doing the music for a family wedding around this time.

One of our cousins came up to me at one point in the night while we were playing a track from the box and wanted to borrow it, I told him that I really didn't want to lend it out, BUT that I would make a mix tape of the tunes for him. The cassette was a copy of this, he LOVED it!

A really good selection of songs here, Ken. This would be a great introduction to the band for fans who mainly know the hits, but would like to explore deeper. You've sequenced the tracks very well.

Many of my favorite Monkees tracks are on here - For Pete's Sake, A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You, The Girl I Knew Somewhere, Forget That Girl - and one I've really grown to like, Door Into Summer.

When Mark and I were driving the moving truck from VA to CA in May 2006, we heard That Was Then, This is Now on an oldies station out of New Mexico. I did a double-take, as that was the first (and only) time I'd heard that song on the radio since it was current back in '86!

Thanks, Dawn!

I don't think I've heard That Was Then, This is Now on the radio since it was current either.

I know that Ron has played the original version (by The Mosquitos) on "Crap From The Past."

Nice collection Ken! But without them being in release order, I can't figure out what's missing! LOL!!

But ANY Monkees collection with Girl I Knew Somewhere, Door Into Summer and Daily Nightly is a winner!!
