In an early announcement to retailers, Rhino is preparing 'The Monkees - The Complete TV Series' for Blu-ray on January 29. The limited edition set will be available exclusively through Monkees.com and is now up for pre-order!
On September 8, 1965, when producers Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider placed a classified ad in The Hollywood Reporter seeking "4 insane boys," they had no idea that they were about to unleash Monkee-mania!

The 10-disc Blu-ray collection with also include the 1968 cult-classic "HEAD," along with many never-before-seen outtakes from the film. It's the beginning of many surprises planned to celebrate The Monkees' 50th anniversary in 2016.
Specs have not been detailed yet, but supplements will include: 1969 TV Special "33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee"; The 1968 Monkees film "HEAD" in HD with never-before-seen outtakes; Bonus material, commentaries from all four Monkees, original Kellogg's Monkees commercials and more.
