ROCK • A • RAMA

Why does a reissue get reissued? To get remastered for better sound and remarketed for better sales, presumably. At least that seems to be the case for these eight Rhino reissues. Six of these bands were contemporaries of the now-famous-again Monkees, so you can hear why many of us thought of the Monkees as just another group on the radio at the time.
