<< Thanks for all the monkees help. I added HQ and P,A,C&J to my Lala
want list. >>
Splendid choices,
Josh.
You got the simian "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" there,
yessir!
and Speaking of Fab/Prefab Fours,
I honestly do still find the Monkees' living-color "Head" soundtrack
on the ol' Pig Player FAR more often than "Sgt. Pepper,"
"More Of The Monkees" makes a fun compare/contrast piece
to the equally pop-rockin' sophomore "With The Beatles,"
"The Birds, The Bees and The Monkees" surely was/is
the 1968 equivalent to The White Album
(sessions conducted seperately between, but only sometimes amongst,
the various band's members
....though I'd just have to give the edge to "Revolution 9"
over "Writing Wrongs")
and Who amongst us
wouldn't easily place that initial '66 "Monkees" album
right up there with not only the "Please Please Me" LP
but other great hip-Sixties 33 1/3 vinyl debuts from
the Beach Boys, Hollies, Kinks-Who-Stones even??
Over to you now,
CCDatsMe,
Gary "and on the subject of televised rock, I believe I still have my
original vinyl Jetsons elpee stashed back in my Home and Native Land
somewhere ...one side of which contains the entire 'A Date with Jet
Screamer' episode" Pig
PS: and When is somebody/anybody out there gonna do a REAL
book/research project on Michael Nesmith? The man's long and winding
list of incredible contributions to our music (den-mothering the
circa-'65 open mic scene at the Troubadour from which sprang various
Stone Pony/Stone Canyon/then Poco-Eagle-etc. notables, his many MANY
pioneering early alt-c&w sides, his equally ahead-of-its-time video and
then web work ...not to mention "The Wichita Train Whistle Sings"
even?!!) Grammys and/or R&RHoF awards just can't begin to do all of
this justice: Erect a towering Papa Nez statue somewhere, dern it!!!
