Subject says it all.

I am not an extremely picky audiophile; I can listen to 128k mp3's all day and they sound fine to me. But this is like nails on a chalkboard. Even the Monkees great music can't overcome the limitations of the awful engineering and "remastering" on this album.

From the get-go, the Monkees theme is totally flat, no bottom at all. It sounds like you are listening to AM radio. The rest of the tracks are all over the place, from bad to worse. There isn't a single track on this album that I can even stand to listen to.

I can't believe that this was worked on by anyone who knows anything about music engineering or mastering. It obviously wasn't. The engineer(s) should be fired for doing this kind of work.

I love the Monkees, but this set is a real disgrace to their music. I'm going to be looking for a different 'Best of' collection that sounds halfway decent. September 20, 2008

It is hard to find music for our kids that the whole family will enjoy. We bought Best of the Monkees for our 9 yr old daughter for Christmas. We have had fun dancing and singing to all the music. She was surprised by how many of the songs she knew and how many I remembered. January 18, 2008

Great cd collection , has most of their hits on it . The sound quality is as good as you can get from that era , the recording equipment back then was rudimentary at best so they have done a good job getting the best sound they could. The only dissapoinment was the straight mono version of A Little Bit Me, Little bit you . Definetly worth the money , you will be tapping your feet all day . September 6, 2007
