Monkees - Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones LTD - 180g re-issue LP Rhino High Fidelity for Rhino's SYEOR Series

FIRST-EVER VINYL SOURCED FROM THE ALBUM’S ORIGINAL STEREO MASTER

     Although the album has been reissued before, the original stereo masters were notoriously difficult to access and have never been used for vinyl—until now. PISCES, AQUARIUS, CAPRICORN & JONES LTD. (RHINO HIGH FIDELITY) is the first vinyl pressing sourced directly from the unaltered 1967 stereo master.
     Released at the height of Monkeemania in November 1967, PISCES, AQUARIUS, CAPRICORN & JONES LTD. was The Monkees’ fourth consecutive #1 album—and their third release that year alone. It spent five weeks atop the Billboard 200 and earned double platinum certification. Building on the creative control they established with Headquarters, the album marked a turning point in the band’s sound, incorporating sharper lyrics, electric banjo, and one of the earliest uses of a Moog synthesizer on a rock album. Recorded amid a grueling tour schedule and across multiple studios, the sessions captured both the group’s growing studio ambitions and the fragmented pace of their late-’60s reality. The result was one of their most adventurous—and enduring—records.
