Above- The front lenticular or the front lobes of a brain. See I was not kidding.

Ans. I hope so, unless you can say it’s in your head.

You’ve heard of a Jack in the Box- well here is a mad scientist's version of brains on steroids in a box.

Rhino Record was an off shoot of Warner Music Group. They were and it was their “job” to preserve great moments in pop culture. Pop culture of music from novelty, movie themes and score, lounge, TV and even groups and performers who fit into those genres. And that included The Monkees.

But we are not here today to discuss and remanence about Peter, Davy, Mike and Mickey. Rhino was your go to produce quirky — nostalgic trips down memory lane with a theme. Within these collections odd shape packaging may be required -say a car shaped box that looks like the Monkees’ car & inside would be their essential hits and tracks or an item that brings us here today A Brain in a Box. Issued/released in 2000.
