| The Monkees - Headquarters album cover | |||||||||||||||
| The third album issued by The Monkees, this was their first LP recorded primarily by the four members of the group. After a struggle for creative autonomy, the group was allowed to record by themselves. Michael Nesmith recruited fellow folk musician Chip Douglas, a member of The Modern Folk Quartet and The Turtles, to produce the album. Douglas was credited under his birth name, Douglas Farthing Hatlelid. Along with Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd., Headquarters constitutes what both critics and supporters alike believe to be the ultimate Monkees recordings. The gamble to attain full artistic control seemed to pay off when Headquarters moved nearly 2 million copies immediately upon its release.
During the early months of 1967, the four Monkees sequestered themselves in the RCA Music Center of the World studios, on Sunset Boulevard near Vine Street in Hollywood. Many of the songs were written by the four group members, or came together organically in jam sessions. A few of the songs were written by songwriters Boyce and Hart, and had been previously recorded by session musicians and produced by Boyce and Hart. The only session musicians used on the album were producer Douglas, who played bass guitar on some songs, and cello and French horn players used on a few tracks. The album was released on May 22, 1967 and charted at the number one position in the United States. It stayed at that position for only one week, when it was replaced by The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It then began a run of 11 consecutive weeks at the #2 position as "Sgt. Pepper" remained at #1. The album was issued on the compact disc format for the first time by Arista Records in 1987 remixed from the multi-tracks, then later from the original stereo mastertape in 1995 with several bonus tracks on Rhino Entertainment. In 2003, Rhino Entertainment, through their Rhino Handmade division, issued The Headquarters Sessions, a multiple disc box of outtakes from the session as well as the album's original monophonic mix presented in an alternate running order that was rejected before release.
