Monkeemania (40 Timeless Hits) is a Monkees compilation released in Australia and New Zealand in 1979 and 1980, respectively. It contains 40 of the Monkees' songs, including hit singles, B-sides, album tracks and three previously unreleased tracks—"Love to Love," "Steam Engine" and a live version of "Circle Sky."

The Monkees' master tapes in Australia were unavailable at that time so they opted the use of "needledrop" vinyl recordings of songs, resulting in various sound quality issues.[2]
