The World's Most Beloved \"Original\" Boy Band = The Monkees. Here is the ultimate Monkees compilation to kick off 2026, their truly momentous 60th anniversary year since debuting in 1966!\n\nThe first-ever single collection, 'THE A'S, THE B'S \u0026amp; THE MONKEES', featuring both A-sides and B-sides from their singles released between 1966 and 1970, arrives as a 2-CD set! Let's celebrate the new year—their 60th anniversary—together with those wonderful melodies!\n\n\n\nFormed in 1965 and debuting in 1966, The Monkees remain beloved across generations over half a century later as the original boy band. Launched as an idol group through a media-mix strategy combining TV and music—what we'd call a media mix today—they achieved massive popularity not just across America but worldwide. For them, 2026 marks the monumental 60th anniversary of their debut.\n\n\n\nIn 2016, their 50th anniversary year, they released their first new studio album in 20 years, GOOD TIMES!, along with the Monkees collection albums FOREVER and THE MONKEES 50, featuring nothing but timeless classics. In 2018, they released their first-ever Christmas album, CHRISTMAS PARTY, continuing their active career. Of the four original members, Davy Jones passed away in 2012, followed by Peter Tork in 2019. Mike Nesmith also passed away in 2021. Currently, Mickey Dolenz remains as the sole original member, continuing to perform energetically to this day.\n\n\n\n2026, their commemorative 60th anniversary year, will kick off with the release of the double album THE A'S, THE B'S \u0026amp; THE MONKEES, compiling the A-sides and B-sides of the singles they released from 1966 to 1970!\n\n\n\nAvailable in both a two-CD set and a two-LP vinyl set, this release features the original single versions of all tracks. Disc 1 contains 12 A-sides, while Disc 2 contains 12 B-sides, arranged in the order they were released. It also includes a booklet with newly written liner notes by Andrew Sandoval, featuring original single artwork, single edits, and liner notes, making it a work that delves deeper into The Monkees' discography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Last Train to Clarksville\u003cbr\u003e2.I'm a Believer\u003cbr\u003e3.A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You\u003cbr\u003e4.Pleasant Valley Sunday\u003cbr\u003e5.Daydream Believer\u003cbr\u003e6.Valleri\u003cbr\u003e7.D.W.
