The Monkees To Release 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Of 'Good Times!'

The Monkees are set to release a special 10th anniversary deluxe edition of Good Times! on May 29th in celebration of the band's 60th anniversary.

The reissue will be released as a two-CD set and digitally for the first time. It will also be released as part of Rhino Reserve's audiophile vinyl series.

Micky Dolenz, the lone remaining member of the band, recently began his "60 Years of The Monkees" tour, commemorating the 60th anniversary of the group.

Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork teamed with producer Adam Schlesinger to produce Good Times!, which features tracks written specifically for the group by some of the world's best songwriters, including Rivers Cuomo, Ben Gibbard, Andy Partridge, Noel Gallagher, and Paul Weller.

"Working on Good Times! was an extraordinary experience. None of us could have imagined that nearly 50 years after our last Top 20 record, we'd be back there again with a new Monkees album. That meant a lot," Dolenz said. "It was also a joy to work with the incredibly talented Adam Schlesinger, who understood exactly how to honor our history while still making something fresh. Mike, Peter, and I had a wonderful time making that record, and I have no doubt Davy's spirit was right there with us. We really did have a good time."
