Story & Background
This first pressing of "More of the Monkees" from 1967, released under the aegis of Colgems and distributed by RCA Victor, represents the commercial peak but also the artistic breaking point for the band. The album was a stratospheric success, selling millions of copies and remaining at the top of the charts for months, but The Monkees themselves had a minimal role in its musical creation. The tracks were predominantly recorded by elite Los Angeles session men, such as the legendary Wrecking Crew, orchestrated by musical supervisor Don Kirshner. This total lack of creative control sparked the band's famous "revolt", particularly by Michael Nesmith, which culminated in Kirshner's dismissal shortly after the release. This record, therefore, is not only a classic of psychedelic pop and power pop of its time, but a tangible testament to the exact moment when The Monkees decided to transition from a mere television product to a real band, rewriting the rules of the music industry and marking their history with a controversy destined to make history.
