Last Train to Clarksville and Other Hits

Performer: Monkees
Distributor: WEA (Distributor)

Notes: Last Train to Clarksville and Other Hits highlights ten singles released in the '60s by the Monkees, including "Mary, Mary," "Porpoise Song," and "Last Train to Clarksville." Although this isn't a bad budget-priced disc, other sets are available with a superior track listing for not much more money. ~ Al Campbell

One of the most memorable '60s US pop groups, the Monkees were put together by US television producers to play members of a pop band based on the Beatles. They were critcized as a pre-fabricated outfit, but the passage of time has left behind much of the critical drubbing, leaving in its place some great, catchy pop music. By the late '60s HEADQUARTERS, BEES & THE MONKEES, and their musical/cinematic classic HEAD, showed a proper band writing, recording, and producing their own records while garnering commercial and critical success. Michael Nesmith went on to pioneering work in country-rock and music video, while the rest of the band reunited periodically over the years to the delight of an unflagging fanbase.
