POP/ROCK - June 8, 1987

Here they come . . . The Monkees are returning once again by way of record, film and live shows this summer. Expected in late June are two albums from Rhino Records, with previously unreleased material, “Live ‘67” and “Missing Links.” Also on the agenda is a tour to begin in July, a new album (with Mickey Dolenz, Davy Jones and Peter Tork) produced by Roger Bechirian (Squeeze, the Undertones) with an expected release date of August. A feature film is still being discussed but is expected to see the four (including Michael Nesmith) reunited, according to Stan Becker, director of publicity for Rhino.
