Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0081227776022 Format: Deluxe Edition, Original recording remastered Label: Rhino / Wea Manufacturer: Rhino / Wea MPN: 77760 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Rhino / Wea Release Date: July 10, 2007 Studio: Rhino / Wea Editorial Review: Album Description: In an effort to restore and remaster the music of The Monkees, Headquarters is back in a new and improved way! Featuring "The Girl I Knew Somewhere," "You Just May Be The One," and "Randy Scouse Git," this album is a great addition to any Monkees fan's collection. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Garage sound!The sound of the discs are perfect! Just as it was! Most re-issues are remastered in a way that it doesn't sound as you remember the album sounding. But here in stereo, mono, and even the outtakes sound a little clearer, but just as you remember it sounding! The best "garage band" sounding album ever made! And that could be why there were no singles or hits from the album. Probably because the powers that be didn't think they sounded as slick as the other singles from the first two albums, ...

A large question looms over this release: What happened to the Headquarters master tapes? In 1986, Arista released the first mastering of Headquarters to CD. The sound quality was excellent, as the source (according to Monkees book author Andrew Sandoval) was the original multi-track remixed to stereo. Purists may have decried this action, but there's ... Read More Rating:  - Great Album & Package, Terrible Sound"Headquarters" is one of the Monkees' best albums and this re-issue comes with a very nice booklet. I always appreciate a re-issue of a 60s - 70s album that includes both the mono and stereo mixes. However, the sound on both versions on this re-issue sounds like it was taken from a bootleg cassette. It's thin, shrill and grating. Rhino should be ashamed to put this out with such poor quality sound. You can't attribute the bad sound to the album being recorded in the 60's. There are hundreds of re-issue ... Read More Rating: - That was a little too long.Headquarters is considered by many to be one of the Monkees' best albums. Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd is probably slightly better, but Headquarters is a fan favorite because the Monkees played the majority of the instruments on it. It really is a terrific album, with many great songs and no real stinkers. This two disc edition features both the mono and stereo versions of the album. The two versions of the album feature different bonus tracks. Other songs from the Headquarters recording ... Read More Rating: - Here They Come...Better Then EVER!!I barely remembered their TV show when it first came in 1966, I was only four at the time, then I've became a HUGE fan of The Monkees since 1975 (after I started watching there shows on syndicated channels). None of there LP's existed at the time. Then Arista (bless them) released their Greatest Hits collection in 1976. A few years later, imported LP's from Japan started to come thru my local record shop. I bought their Debut thru Birds, Bees & Monkees. The sound was good, but their was not enough base ...
