| The Monkees is the first album by the band The Monkees. It was released in October 1966 by Colgems Records.
The Monkees' debut was the first of four consecutive U.S. number one albums for the group, and it also topped the UK charts. Assembled by television producers Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider to portray a Beatles-type pop band on a new series, the quartet recorded vocals only between rehearsals for the weekly show. Peter Tork, however, did play guitar on "Papa Gene's Blues." While subsequent albums would improve on its quality, largely due to the group's increased participation, The Monkees remains an appealing mix of pop songs and performances. Micky Dolenz delivers a rousing lead on the brisk "Last Train to Clarksville," a U.S. number-one single and one of several tunes written by veteran hitmakers Boyce and Hart, while Davy Jones sensitively handles the precious ballad "I Wanna Be Free", which like "(Theme from) The Monkees", received as much radio airplay as popular 45 singles at the time. Michael Nesmith sings lead on his own country-flavored compositions, "Papa Gene's Blues" and "Sweet Young Thing" (co-written with legendary songwriting team Gerry Goffin and Carole King). Though critics disparaged The Monkees as the "Pre-Fab Four," the TV show was a hit. The symbiotic relationship between the show and radio play enabled The Monkees to hold down the top-selling album slot for 13 weeks, eventually selling over 5 million copies. Track listing: 1.
