Or you can wait a few more years until Rhino releases another reconfigured
box. 2001's "Music Box" replaced the 1991 "Listen To The Band" box. There
didn't seem to be any great difference between the two, so the next box set
should contain remastered, remixed, multi-channel, high-resolution versions
of the same songs in a different running order. Should be available for
pre-ordering in 2010.
And speaking of Monkees, Kung Hei Fat Choy!
