This action resulted in the much covered dissolution with music mogul Don Kirshner, and Chip Douglas (The Turtles) was now recruited by Nesmith to work with the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn rapid succession, things began to fall into place in February 1967. With initial tracks like country rocker \"Sunny Girlfriend\" and the acid rock imagery of \"Mr. Webster, the band set the stage for what would become one of the most loved works in their catalog and one of the finest rock albums of a generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA definite album opener, \"You Told Me\" begins their masterpiece \"Headquarters.\" The track features a brilliant 12 string guitar and the rockin' vocals of Nesmith, as Tork's incredible banjo fills the track alongside Dolenz's driving drum work. With Jones' percussion and all three fine-tuning their background vocals with Nesmith, it became the very first song that many of us remember as we opened up our sealed copies back in the summer of '67.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot straying too far from previous success, the band scored a few more of Boyce and Hart compositions like Micky Dolenz's folk rock ballad \"I'll Spend My Life With You.\" The solid steel guitar work of Mike Nesmith would go on to become a precursor to his groundbreaking Nashville sessions in the late sixties and early seventies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavy Jones has several watershed moments here with both \"Forget That Girl\" and \"Early Morning Blues and Greens.\" \"Forget That Girl\" employs a unique English northern soul vibe, while the latter shares a wonderful Peter Tork background vocal and keyboard making it one of the more psychedelic infused and standout tracks on the LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCELEBRATE 5 DECADES OF THE MONKEES MASTERWORK \"HEADQUARTERS\" IN MONOPHONIC SOUND!!!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLIMITED EDITION TRANSLUCENT RED VINYL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePRODUCED BY CHIP DOUGLAS \u0026amp; THE MONKEES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMASTERED IMPECCABLY BY JOE REAGOSO (THE MONKEES) FROM THE ORIGINAL COLGEMS RECORDS MONOPHONIC TAPES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE 1967 #1 ALBUM THAT OPENED THE DOORS INTO THE SUMMER OF LOVE!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFACT- 1 of 4 #1 MONKEES ALBUMS IN 1967\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFEATURES CLASSIC MONKEES HITS: \"YOU MAY JUST BE THE ONE\" \"SHADES OF GREY\" \"FOR PETE'S SAKE\" \"YOU TOLD ME\" \"EARLY MORNING BLUES \u0026amp; GREENS\" \u0026amp; \"FORGET THAT GIRL\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE MONKEES: MICKY DOLENZ, DAVY JONES, MICHAEL NESMITH \u0026amp; PETER TORK.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMONKEES \/ HEADQUARTERS\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Told Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'll Spend My Life with You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForget That Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Just May Be the One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShades of Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Get Her Off My Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Pete's Sake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMr. Webster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunny Girlfriend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZilch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Morning Blues and Greens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRandy Scouse Git\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 829421961031\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Friday Music\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.8.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Monkees","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58293153988689,"sku":"637821","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4297599-3173016.jpg?v=1760749758","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/headquarters-clear-vinyl-limited-edition-red","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
