Background: The Monkees Gift Pack was part of a series released in late 1973 in Japan by labels affiliated with or distributed by CBS.  The series consisted of 2 disc compilation albums packaged in a box and usually including a poster.

These were likely sold for the 1973 holiday season, as several of the titles in the series included posters that also served as 1974 calendars.

The Monkees’ TV series was quite popular in Japan while airing as reruns in the early 1970s, and in 1973-1974, all of their albums were reissued in Japan.
