Warner UK informs me that a 60 track double CD called Definitive Monkees is
set for release in the UK with tv advertising on or around Feb 23. The
first disc is a greatest hits compilation comprising all previously
released tracks and the second disc – which will be limited only to the
first pressing – is 30 tracks comprising such things as the extended
versions and alternate takes that Rhino (part of the Warner group) released
previously on bonus tracks and missing links.

Craig Kilbourne (The Late Late Show on CBS) was talking about the Monkees
Reunion Tour on his show last night (Thursday) . Here is what he said…
Joke Of The Day
brought to you by GM
“The Monkees are kicking off their reunion tour in March, opening each
concert with “Hey Hey We’re Out Of Money”. Yes, it’s true, I am gonna make
fun of this tour, but I am going” (sarcastically)

Hi. I’m a local newspaper reporter in Tampa Bay Florida and I’m working on
doing a series of stories about the Monkees. One of which will be about fans
in the area. I’ve noticed that a lot of postings on this list have been from
Tampa Bay and I thought I would like to get in touch with some of these fans
for my story. If anyone is interested in being featured, or if you’d like
more information, contact Amy at around@verizonmail.com

Here is a link to a Model Horse website that happens
to have a corky and Bimbo model. It is pretty cute,
with Micky (Corky) sitting on bimbo. Here is the info
that it give about the figure. “From the 1950’s TV
Series and reissued from the 1958 Breyer Original.
Corky and Bimbo were Brought back by collector
request, the very unique and adorable Corky and Bimbo
set was a “Horse” and Rider pair produced by Breyer in
1958. The characters were based on a television series
that aired from 1956-1958 called Circus Boy, and
featured the not-yet-famous Monkees singer, Mickey
Dolenz, in the leading role! In the series, an
orphaned Corky was adopted by a traveling circus,
where he played around with Bimbo the baby elephant,
and usually saved the day at the end of each episode.”

Brad,
I just spoke to a staff member at The Kahuna Pavilion in Wilmington,
DE…the date of March 15th is not set in stone. It could be the 9th,
13th, or the 15th. Ticket prices also were not confirmed, but were
estimated to be $21-$35. The Kahuna Pavilion seats 2300 and they
anticipate that this concert will be standing room only. The date should
be conifrmed by Monday, January 29th, so they recommended calling back
Monday and they’d be able to sell tickets then.
Sincerely,
Alison Mailey

The Tim Buckley 2 CD anthology ‘Morning Glory’ is released on 20 March.
‘Song To The Siren’ , arguably the most beautiful and impulsive song he ever
wrote, is included here in 2 versions. The first is the original heard on
Buckley’s 1970 ‘Starsailor’ album in all it’s 12-string glory. Previously
unissued, the second ‘Song To The Siren’ was recorded live on the Screen
Gems set of ‘The Monkees’, for episode number 58 ‘Mijacogeo’ (The Frodis
Caper)’. Monkee Micky Dolenz who directed the episode, also introduces the
song.
other news….
The February issue of UK magazine ‘Record Collector’ reports that Elvis
Costello is to turn his hand to writing a TV series for Warner Bros in
America about ‘some beautiful girls who play rock’n’roll and have a ball
spending someone else’s money’. They’ll also engage in all kinds of
‘Monkees’ adventures, and Costello will write an original song for each
episode.
next…
the ‘Monkees Definitive’ is a single-CD compilation album due for UK release
on 23 February, followed by release in the US 3 days later. The catalogue
number will be 8573 866912. Track listing unavailable at the time of
writing.
finally…
Rhino Handmade plan a Spring 2001 UK release for the ‘Headquarters Sessions’
3 CD set, previously only available on-line.
