What
a great release, Hey Hey We're
the Monkees is an in-depth
documentary on the manufactured
pop band of the 1960's, put
together for a TV show (The
Monkees), Davy Jones (the
English one), Mike Nesmith (the
talented one), Micky Dolenz (the
clown) and Peter Tork (the other
one) ended up almost rivalling
the Beatles in the popularity
stakes.
This single disc mixes in new
interviews, classic footage
(including the band playing live
- surprisingly capably
considering the boys took an
awful lot of stick for allegedly
not playing on their
records). Best of all
though are the music clips
featuring classics such as Last
Train to Clarksville, PLeasant
Valley Sunday and of course I'm
A Believer.
Hey Hey We're The Monkees is a
must for any fan of both classic
TV and classic pop.
The
disc also includes biographies
of all the band as well asa
discography and the usual scene
indexing.
