Good Times! - 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition
The Monkees
Good Times! is the twelfth studio album by The Monkees, originally released on 27 May 2016 via Rhino Records to commemorate the band's 50th anniversary, and reissued on 29 May 2026 as a 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition — coinciding with the group's 60th anniversary — on two-CD, digital, and 180-gram Rhino Reserve audiophile vinyl formats. Produced by Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne, the album reunited surviving members Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork, while Davy Jones, who passed away in 2012, is represented through vocals he recorded in the 1960s. The deluxe edition expands the original 13-track album with a second disc containing four bonus tracks — including the previously rare "Terrifying," an alternate take of "Me & Magdalena," "A Better World," and "Love's What I Want" — along with instrumental versions of all 13 original tracks, making the full album available digitally in expanded form for the first time.
The album draws from two distinct sources: new compositions written specifically for the group by a roster of contemporary admirers, and vintage 1960s recordings completed with fresh Monkees vocals and instrumentation. Contributors include Rivers Cuomo of Weezer ("She Makes Me Laugh"), Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie ("Me & Magdalena"), Andy Partridge of XTC ("You Bring the Summer"), and the pairing of Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller ("Birth of an Accidental Hipster"), alongside older material from Harry Nilsson, Neil Diamond, and Carole King and Gerry Goffin. The title track opens the record with Dolenz duetting posthumously with Harry Nilsson's 1968 demo vocal, a moment the Independent described as linking "seamlessly with the new material." The album peaked at number 14 on the Billboard 200 and was widely received as the best Monkees record since their 1960s heyday.
