It features The Monkees’ two 7″ singles on color vinyl (one red and one green), housed in a gatefold: “Unwrap You At Christmas (Radio Mix),” as well as”Unwrap You At Christmas (Andy Partridge Demo)” and “Riu Chiu”/”Christmas Is My Time Of Year (1976 Mix).” For more information, check out the Record Store Day’s official website.

The vinyl releases of their holiday collection are a must for all fans of The Monkees since there is a warmth and nostalgia to vinyl that listeners simply cannot find anywhere else. It is the perfect collection to invite friends and family over for listening parties since music ought to be a shared experience, and what better music than The Monkees. It will certainly put fans and listeners in the Christmas spirit.
