Genre: American pop
Places I remember: Greg Knowles gave his copy!
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles/ Gear costume: Last Train To Clarksville/ This Just Doesn't Seem To Be My Day
Active compensatory factors: Wow! What a year for music 1966 turned out to be: Pet Sounds, Revolver, Roger The Engineer, Takes Off, Freak Out! and then in October - The Monkees!!!
Yes, I'm still on a Monkees high after their recent Auckland concert (great 2019 version of The Last Train To Clarksville was a clear highlight btw).
Their debut holds up amongst that great company! There are some great tracks on here, confidence was high and the production is spot on pop-wise. And as to the sneery idea that 99% of the music came from session musicians? Too words: Pet Sounds. Two more words: True genius.
Where do they all belong? I'm gonna buy me a dog. Yes, sir!
