    5 out of 5 stars A little steep but...........2007-02-26

    While die hard fans will feel compelled to buy it regardless of reviews, this particular Cd follows the feel of the previous volumes: mixed bag. To be sure there are the gems( Love to Love, Propinquity, How Insensitive is beautifully covered here, Tear the Top Right Off My Head...) but a few of these songs were unreleased for a reason. So while they may not have pop appeal, they will be treasures to the dedicated followers of the Pre Fab Four.
    The problem here is price. Granted this final edition of the series is out of print,and, therefore, rather highly priced,.... shopping around will not help matters. I have found it listed several places at bargain prices but always out of stock or indefinitely back ordered. My two cents: if you simply must have this album becuase you're a Monkees collector, get it now. It's getting a little harder to come by each time I go hunt it up online.

    5 out of 5 stars A Must for every Monkees Fan.......2006-08-09

    I think I listen to this cd at least once a week. I love it! And, with all the great Mike songs on this I'm in heaven!
    I'd give it 10 stars if the ratings allowed.

    4 out of 5 stars Last, But Not Least.......2006-05-30

    This cd was the last release of the Missing Links collections. Although I don't think it's quite as good as volume two, there are some great rarities on here. Any Monkees fan will definitely enjoy this one. Here is my review of the songs:

    1. "(Theme From) The Monkees" - This is the version of this song that was used as the intro to the tv show. It's cool to see this released, because this version had never been on an album before. 9/10

    2. "Kellogg's Jingle" - You can hear this song in many of the Monkees episodes, right after the intro. Just a short jingle, but it's pretty cool.

    3. "We'll Be Back In A Minute" - Just another short jingle type song. It was apparently used on reruns of the Monkees tv show.

    4. "Through The Looking Glass" - Here is the first full song of the cd. This is a very good version of this Boyce/Hart song. I think it's just as good if not better than the version used on Instant Replay. 8/10

    5. "Propinquity (I've Just Begun To Care)" - Yet another solid unreleased Mike song (the Missing Links cd's are filled with them). Has that classic Mike country sound, and I believe he used this song on one of his solo albums. 8/10

    6. "Penny Music" - Ouch! is all I could say to describe this song. Has sort of a catchy tune, but Davy's voice just sounds very off. 3/10

    7. "Tear The Top Right Off My Head" - This is a very good Peter song. You could actually hear Micky and Peter perform part of this in the "Hitting The High Seas" Monkees episode. It's one of my favorites on the cd, and Peter just always gives it his all. 9/10

    8. "Little Red Rider" - Another great unreleased Mike song, and another one that I think he used in his solo career. Good work by Mike. 9/10

    9. "You're So Good" - I usually always like Micky songs, but this one just isn't very good. It doesn't even sound like a typical Monkees song, kind of odd. 4/10

    10. "Look Down" - I find this to be one of the better songs on the cd. Good performance by Davy, and maybe if re-recorded, I could see it having been on an album. 8/10

    11. "Hollywood" - Ok song, not one of my favorite Mike ones. I'm usually a fan of the Mike country/country-rock stuff, but this one's a little too much country for me. 6/10

    12. "Midnight Train" - Decent Miky song, that is slightly different from the version used on Changes. You could hear a lot of Micky's sister in this version. Another song that's not really typical Monkees style, but it's ok. 6/10

    13. "She Hangs Out" - This is a good Davy song, but I don't like this version even close to as much as the album version. It's just a little too slow for me. 6/10

    14. "Shake 'Em Up" - This song has almost the same style as "You're So Good". It just doesn't sound very good, and it's really odd. 3/10

    15. "Circle Sky" - This version isn't quite as good as the live version, but it's better than the album version. It's very similar to the album version, except Mike's vocals are actually audible. Great rockin' Mike song though. 8/10

    16. "Steam Engine" - It has a pretty catchy chorus...I usually find myself singing along with it. But altogether, it's kind of an average song I could live without. 6/10

    17. "Love To Love" - This is an obvious Neil Diamond song, which sounds very similar to the other one's he wrote for the Monkees. It's probably the best song on this cd, and easily could have been used on one of their albums. 10/10

    18. "She'll Be There" - It doesn't sound like this song was finished to me, but it has good lyrics, and great vocals from Micky. I think a finished recording could have been album quality. 8/10

    19. "How Insensitive" - Might be my least favorite Mike song. It's another one that's just a little too country, and I'm not a fan of the vocals. 5/10

    20. "Merry Go Round" - Another solid Peter song, that has a very addictive sound to it. 8/10

    21. "Angel Band" - See "How Insensitive". 5/10

    22. "Zor and Zam" - This was the version used on the tv show...it's a great song, but the album version is a little more intense, and a little better I think. 8/10

    23. "We'll Be Back In A Minute" - Just a slightly different version from the song above.

    24. "Tema Dei Monkees" - Simply (Theme From) The Monkees in Italian. Kind of neat.

    As you could see, it's not the best cd, but it is a nice collection to have, with many quality songs.

    4 out of 5 stars We may be comin' to your town........2006-02-17

    This is the third CD in the collection of Monkees rarities. It's a solid collection. It features previously unreleased songs and alternate versions of previously released songs. Lots of good songs, especially the ones by Michael Nesmith. I also like "Tear the Top Right Off My Head" and "Steam Engine" a lot. There are a few somewhat weak songs, but not too many. This CD is a real treat for Monkeemaniacs.

    4 out of 5 stars Great Third Collection of Monkees Rarities .......2005-06-18

    This was the third compilation of Monkees rarities and oddities. I guess you would expect that a third compilation of rarities from a band that released 9 albums and whose recording career spanned only 4 years, would be squeezing the lemon too much. This is in fact not the case. Like most Monkees albums this CD contains a great variety of musical styles, and the quality of the song-writing is also pretty uneven. But since Monkees fans are known for having quite different musical preferences, there is bound to be new favorites for everyone on this collection too.

    The sound and recording quality on the vast majority of these tracks levels their original albums, and it's impressing that they could manage to record so much quality material over such a short period of time. Quite many of these songs would have fitted nicely into the original albums, and a good handful of them would have improved the general impression of those albums.

    My favorite here is the 1967 recording "Love to Love", a song which easily could have been a hit-record . It's a Neil Diamond song sung by Davy Jones, which due to some controversy ( some people wanted a Jones solo-career ) was not originally released on any of the official albums or singles. Great that it finally sees the light of day, in a superb sound quality.

    Other great tracks are the two alternate versions of "Through the Looking Glass" and "She Hangs Out".

    Peter Tork's "Tear the Top Right off My Head" is a good example of his fine song-writing abilities.

    "Propinquity" is a country flavoured tune written by Michael Nesmith that would have been a fine addition to one of the latter day Monkees albums.
