The Monkees - 'The Complete Series' Blu-ray: Delayed Date, Extras, Lenticular Cover!

We passed on the press release last September that a Blu-ray Disc release of The Monkees - The Complete Series is being made, with plans at the time to release it on January 29th...two weeks from next Friday. The item will exclusively be available online at the www.odvdo.com, for $199.98 SRP. Now that listing has been updated to show that the title's release has been pushed back three months, to Friday, April 29th.

The site has GOOD news, though, along the way: there's now cover art for this title, shown at bottom, which the site describes as "a lenticular 3-D cover mount that 'moves' as you tilt it!"
