Then & Now... The Best of The Monkees Then & Now... The Best of The Monkees Then & Now... the Best of The Monkees is a compilation album of songs by the 1960s American pop group The Monkees, released by Arista Records in 1986. With the 1986 revival of "Monkeemania," Arista Records issued a new Monkees "best of" collection, including three new recordings featuring vocals by Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork: "That Was Then, This Is Now," "Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere" and a remake of the Paul Revere and the Raiders hit, "Kicks." Neither Michael Nesmith nor Davy Jones participated in the new recordings. Nesmith also did not join
The Monkees Tork at the Greek Theatre, in Los Angeles, on September 7, 1986. In September 1988, the three rejoined to play Australia again, Europe and then North America, with that string of tours ending in September 1989. Nesmith again returned at the Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, show on July 10, 1989 and took part in a dedication ceremony at the Hollywood Walk of Fame, when the Monkees received a TV star there in 1989. The sudden revival of the Monkees in 1986 helped move the first official Monkees single since 1971, "That Was Then, This Is Now", to the No. 20
