Description

Hey Hey Its The Monkees! On 180g High Quality Rhino Vinyl!

Head is the soundtrack to the bands first and only theatrical release and the last to feature Peter Tork until 1987s Pool It!.

The 1968 film, a comedy-adventure, was written and produced by Bob Rafelson and actor Jack Nicholson. The picture featured appearances by Nicholson, Teri Garr, Carol Doda, Annette Funicello, Frank Zappa, Sonny Liston, Timothy Carey, Ray Nitschke. Dennis Hopper and Toni Basil also appeared in brief non-speaking parts.

The selection of music and dialogue approximates the flow of the movie and was compiled by Jack Nicholson.

Showing a growing influence of Frank Zappa on the Monkees music, the soundtrack album intersperses the six proper songs with bits of Ken Thornes incidental music, dialogue fragments and oddball sound effects, for an overall effect close to Zappas Were Only In It For The Money.

The Monkees were a pop rock group assembled in Los Angeles in 1966 by Robert Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider for the American television series The Monkees. The show aired from 1966 to 1968 featuring the musical acting quartet of Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, and Davy Jones.

The Monkees had many international hits which are still heard on pop and oldies stations including Im a Believer, (Im Not Your) Steppin Stone, Daydream Believer, Last Train to Clarksville, and Pleasant Valley Sunday.
