The Monkees ‘Good Times! (10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)’ 2CD Set Lands May 29

In celebration of the 60th anniversary of The Monkees, Rhino will release Good Times! (10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) on May 29. The 2CD version of the acclaimed 2016 release includes unreleased versions of every album track and four rare session outtakes. If that release doesn’t suit fans of the band, there is another option available.

Also releasing May 29 is an audiophile vinyl edition of the original album that is part of the Rhino Reserve series. The 180-gram pressing, cut from the original analog masterts and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, will be released through indie retailers and Rhino.com.

Just made available today on digital today is “A Better World,” a track previously featured on the physical EP release of Good Times! Plus!.

Although I have not listened to the entire Good Times! album, I am all too familiar with the wistful “Me & Magdalena.” My wonderful niece, whenever we spend time at the family home, frequently says “Alexa, play Me & Magdalena.” Even after over 100 listens, that song never gets old:
