20 track Platinum Collection consists of the best from the Warner/Elektra music archives, including 'Last Train to Clarkesville', 'Forget That Girl' and 'Let's Dance On'. Formed primarily for the purpose of starring in a television series, The Monkees were on one hand a cynically manufactured group, devised to cash in on the early Beatles' success by applying the most superficial aspects of the British Invasion formula to capture a preteen audience. On the other hand, they weren't devoid of musical talent, and at their best managed to craft some enduring pop/rock hits. 2005.
