Forever [Japan Bonus Track]The MonkeesForever
Forever ,is a greatest hits type album releases to celebrate the Monkees 50 th anniversary year 2016. Includes 10 singles and the rest album tracks. This Japan release does include one bonus track 'Star Collector ' from the bands fourth 1967 album Pisces,Aquarius,Capricorn,and Jones l.t.d. This extra track is only available on the Japan release of this album( the U.k and U.S.A releases omitted this track.) So as from a collectors point of view I would highly recommend this Japan release. This is by no means the best Monkees hits album out there , ( but it does feature a single taken from the Monkees new album 2016 release of 'Good Times.'

Mind Games [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-SACD] [Limited Release]John LennonMind Games
Superb album from 1973' with Mind Games ,John is back in touch with the subtler aspects of his craft. Whether paying tribute to his adopted homeland of NYC,on Tight as and Meat City or pressing home his 'Free your mind' brand of humanism on 'Mind Games ' and 'Only People'. This album was undervalued at time time of its original release . Still it's a recommended album with Mind Games being one of his finest singles.

More Of The Monkees [Limited Release]The MonkeesMonkees second album
More of , was The Monkees 2nd album release which included the bands 2nd single I'm a believer . This album was Released without much say from the band members themselves. Music supervisor Donny put this album together . At its time of release back in 1967 . Monkee Mike Nesmith called it the worst album in the history of the world. But honestly it's a fine album with some great pop tunes , But sadly not one of there finest albums. Some great pop tunes from probably the finest song writers at that time . I much prefer Rhino's reissue of this album with several extra bonus tracks released a few years back .

Double Fantasy [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [Platinum SHM-CD] [Limited Release]John Lennon & Yoko OnoJohn's final album
Double Fantasy is my all time favourite album of John and Yoko's. Before John's tragic death gave it such an unwelcome poignancy,the general response to Double Fantasy, was disappointing. He had chosen to alternate tracks on his first album in five years with yoko's. Still my personal view was and still is, it's a superb album. Perhaps Yoko is not the best singer on the planet , but she does a fine job on this album. A great album for your collection. I would highly recommend Double Fantasy (stripped) released a few years back . Both great albums from the late great John Lennon. Recommended.

SGT. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Original Soundtrack [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD] [Limited Release]Original SoundtrackSGTpepper
The superb sound track from the late 70s movie SGT pepper ,starring a host of names including the bee gees ,Peter Frampton,and Alice cooper. I have viewed this great movie loads of times , sadly it wasn't a big hit at the box office. But I think it is a superb movie with a great soundtrack of Beatles songs performed by other artists. I'd recommend it. If you can get a copy of the DVD movie too I'd highly recommend that too.
