One of mine. The condition was pretty good. Maybe about average for my stuff. I saw Quicksilver in Pittsburgh around the time this came out. Amazon shows this a discontinued by the manufacturer but available from resellers starting at $9. They show the original release date as October '75 and I saw them in February, presumably in '76, but the souvenir poster that's been tucked in this album for more than 30 years doesn't have a year. By this time, it feels to me that the QMS sound is a bit dated. While this album is as solid as the name implies, it also feels a bit contrived for some of the central figures from the summer of love. When psychodelia and Madison Avenue collide, it always feels a little funny to me. Don't get me wrong, I love the Monkees but the commercialism is just a little weird for me sometimes. The highlight for me on this album is the David Freiberg, Robert Hunter collaboration, I Heard You Singing.
