about

Continuing the Monkees mania sweeping the nation in 2016, as the band celebrates its 50th anniversary, The Minus 5 offers two willful but loving cover versions on a mint-condition, imitation-pic-sleeve digital 45. Scott McCaughey, Peter Buck and Joe Adragna originally laid down these tracks for the people of Japan, as bonus numbers on the import Of Monkees And Men CD. Now they are available across the universe! Marvel as they rip through the Michael Nesmith-penned “Circle Sky”, long a favorite in both Minus 5 and Monkees live sets. Peter takes the lead guitar duties whilst Scott and Joe double up on the lead vocal. “Last Train To Clarkesville”, the Boyce-Hart composition/production that introduced the Monkees to the world, gets a wobbly, inspired thrashing with trademark Buck 12-string Rickenbacker and a Squeeze-styled vocal treatment. All in all, one more triumphant and celebratory fist raised in The Year Of The Monkees!
