More Greatest Hits of the Monkees was a 1982 greatest hits compilation album of songs by the Monkees, assembled and released by Arista Records. Rather than featuring strictly hit singles, the collection instead featured music from their television series, which was still airing in syndication around the US.
While the album was welcome among fans, in the absence of virtually any Monkees vinyl in print for over a decade (except for 1976's The Monkees Greatest Hits), apparently not much budgeting had gone into the album. A stock photo was hand coloured, a brief page worth of liner notes appeared (and of course no lyrics), and the sound quality itself was unfortunately less than superb. One of the record's detractors was one of its original performers – former Monkee Michael Nesmith, who had sampled a copy, and found little to praise.
When Rhino Records reissued the entire Monkees catalog during 1995, this and all previous Monkees greatest hits compilations were deleted. The songs can all be found (carefully digitally remastered) on present-day Monkees issues from Rhino.
