Given the context of the MTV revivalism of their show, a reunion performance on the MTV music awards, a stellar best-of compilation, a top video on Dial MTV with “That Was Then…This is Now,” and a new series based on the original (the New Monkees? Anyone?), one would think that 1986 was the year that the Monkees could do no wrong. For the most part, this was true; but then they dropped Pool It! and it was a bit like watching a prized race horse’s legs give midway through a race. Unquestionably their worst output of all time, Pool It! was an obvious attempt to cash in on the revitalized success of the group, which falls flat within 30 seconds of the album’s solitary notable song “Heart and Soul.” This is normally the part of a review where the reviewer would advise this release for die-hard fans only, but I can’t even suggest that, as no one should be subjected to such poor quality unless they’re a collector or completist — and even then it’s best to keep Pool It! in its original packing, if anything to increase the resale value. ~ Rob Theakston
