The one that was not released. And since Rhino owns the Monkees then it's not been released by any official company. it could easily have been home taped and selling or trading it is legal since it hasn't been released.

Yeah, that's a picture of the cast of the bio-pic, Daydream Believers, not the actual Monkees.

Sorry I missed this discussion earlier. True, the bottom pic on your DVD case, Sally, is the Daydream Believers cast, and from a graphic design standpoint, I can pretty well guarantee that it is a bootleg. (It's not a bad job, though, considering!) It's a shame you can't watch it, though- would be fun to see nonetheless! -

Not sure if it's something you can do manually or if you'd have to take it in somewhere.... probably just a lot of hassle, though! But hey, if you're ever looking to invest in a new DVD player, it may be a good excuse to get a dual region one. -

Same with VHS tapes. There are specialty shops that can switch over VHS tapes, but I'm not sure about DVDs. I think there's only 2 different regions- I think Region 1 is America (North and South) and the Region 2 is the rest of the world... not sure for sure, though. -

And many of these foreign DVDs are what is known as Region 0 - usually these can be played on any DVD player, but that's never a guarantee. Only official releases or legitimate region-coded DVDs are guaranteed to play upon the DVD players that have been set to the appropriate region code for their countries. What one needs to do to play DVDs from other regions: 1. Buy a DVD player that plays DVDs from any region. Usually costs more. 2. To save money, there are many very inexpensive DVD players and Region 1 DVD players by name brands that actually have a "hack code" that permits the owner to disable the Region 1 default setting on their DVD players. You can find out the hack code usually through Google, using the appropriate search information, such as the make and model of the DVD player you own or are interested in purchasing and the phrases "hack code" and "region free" or "multi-region" or what have you. (Perhaps someone more knowledgeable behind the politics of this can explain why one must use a hack code to play DVDs from other regions? The only one I can think of is that region coding is a way to if not control, at least sway markets in favor of the more localized economy through the omission of certain information. Things, they are the same everywhere!) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ My fansite: The Monkees @ FashionState.Com Can you dig it?

I had thought I heard that somewhere. Karen "That until mankind can extend the circle of his compassion to include all living things,he will never,himself,no peace." Albert Schweitzer On top of spaghetti, All covered with cheese, I lost my poor meatball, When somebody sneezed. It rolled off the table, And on to the floor, And then my poor meatball, Rolled out of the door. It rolled in the garden, And under a bush, And then my poor meatball, Was nothing but mush. The mush was as tasty As tasty could be, And then the next summer, It grew into a tree. The tree was all covered, All covered with moss, And on it grew meatballs, And tomato sauce. So if you eat spaghetti, All covered with cheese, Hold on to your meatball, Whenever you sneeze.

The Main Background Pic features the Cast of the VH1 Biopic "Daydream Believers" (Jeff Geddis, Aaron Lohr, etc.) with the real guys pics as part of the small inserts near the top.
