The Monkees "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones LTD." First Ever Sourced From Original Master Tape

Rhino High Fidelity Limited edition

(October 2, 2025 - Los Angeles, CA) Rhino revisits The Monkees’ most sonically adventurous studio album with two new editions of Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. On October 3, the album will receive its first-ever vinyl pressing from the original analog stereo master reels as part of the Rhino High Fidelity series. Alongside the High Fidelity pressing, returns in an expansive 4CD/7-inch Super Deluxe Edition featuring previously unreleased recordings, new mixes, and rarities.

 Although the album has been reissued before, the original stereo masters were notoriously difficult to access and have never been used for vinyl—until now. Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. (Rhino High Fidelity) is the first vinyl pressing sourced directly from the unaltered 1967 stereo master. Cut AAA by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio restores the original dynamics and mix integrity without the compression or EQ added to the Colgems LPs. Pressed on 180-gram black vinyl and limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies, the LP is available exclusively from Rhino.com. Order HERE.

 Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. (Super Deluxe Edition) collects more than 100 tracks across four CDs, including the original mono and stereo mixes of the album, plus newly created stereo mixes and alternate mono mixes. Two additional discs trace the album’s creative arc with demos, outtakes, and backing tracks sourced from the original session reels—alongside several television mixes appearing on physical media for the first time. Available exclusively at monkees.com.

    Did the Wrecking Crew or their ilk make this album or what.

      Some of it, of course, as was the case in just about every pop record of the time. All Monkees played on it; all on guitar, Dolenz and one other on drums, etc. All the orchestral instruments are studio cats, of course. By the way, studio guys and gals play on just about every pop (and many many rock) albums to this day.
