25th Anniversary Edition Mix

The 25th Anniversary Collection Mix is a Monkees compilation album adapted by C.Syde65. This compilation album is based on an old playlist titled The Monkees that I found on a family computer in 2007 that dated from the 1990's.

The playlist consisted of Monkees songs from the album 25th Anniversary Edition, all of which were MP3 files at 128 kbps, though I later converted all the files to Wma files at 192 kbps.

By the time the playlist had come into my possession, Windows Media Player claimed that the first song on the playlist A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You was corrupt, but I simply clicked on the song to make it play, as the file was still on the computer.

While the compilation itself has not been burnt, this adaption was compiled on various occasions between 2013 and 2019, making it difficult to know the exact time I decided to make a compact disc adaption.

The "no pause between tracks" box would be ticked when burning this compilation, to prevent the Nero Express Essentials software from adding 2 second pauses between tracks, to free up more space on the CD - not that there wouldn't be enough space to fit 20 songs one CD anyway.

The "normalise all audio files" box would also be ticked, to set the volume of all the tracks to a standard volume. There were a few differences between the order the songs appeared on the playlist, and the order the songs appear on the tracklist of the CD adaption below.

On the original playlist, A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You, Randy Scouse Git (Alternate Title), Cuddly Toy, Daydream Believer, For Pete's Sake, Hold on Girl (Help is on its Way), I'm a Believer, (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone, Last Train to Clarksville, Listen to the Band, Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow), Shades of Gray, She, The Girl I Knew Somewhere, and (Theme from) The Monkees appeared as the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th tracks respectively.
