One of the best albums of 1967 and also one of the most underrated 60's albums in general.
@joelwright4317
By far their best album and just a very strong pop album period. Lots of terrific tracks, although I’m particularly partial to The Door Into Summer and Pleasant Valley Sunday.
@Alval2020
it is the Monkees masterpiece and I bought it back in 1967. Great record.

"Fast" Eddie Hoh is one of my favorite nearly-forgotten session drummers -- he was also the drummer for The Mamas And The Papas at the Monterey Festival. And thanks for pronouncing Robert Moog's name correctly. 👍

Great episode Andrew! I totally agree that this was their best album. The only thing that (in my opinion) would have made it better would be if they started side two with 'Daydream Believer' instead of 'Hard To Believe'. To my ears that song just didn't fit into the vibe of that album. I apologize the folks who love this track..it's just my opinion. :) Knowing how things went for the Monkees after this album I agree that letting Chip Douglas go after this album was their big bonehead move of all. He obviously knew just the right balance of Monkee input and session musicians to make everything work very well. It's too bad that magic could never be repeated.
@tomfurgas2844
My favorite and their best album.
@NotJarrett
Cannot WAIT for the super deluxe set! This has always been one of my favorite albums to just throw on whenever, such a fun listen all the way through

Excellent video, Andrew. Evidently Micky was the third person to purchase the Moog after Wendy (then Walter) Carlos and Buck Owens, and the picture of Micky at at the Moog is one for the books. Thank you for the shout out to Andy Partridge!
@MsTimothyswan
Thank you. Can't hardly wait for the super deluxe boxed set, in order to finally complete my Monkees boxed set collection.
@michaelrochester48
Salesman is such an awesome song and then door into summer really kicks it off
@williamhild1793
Ahhh... Pleasant Valley Sunday! My favorite tune by The Monkees!
@tomrobinson5776
Their best album. Words, Love Is Only Sleeping, The Door Into Summer, Pleasant Valley Sunday, etc. Stellar tracks.
@muzzy1978
Glad to see this great album getting the credit it deserves. It always amazes me that the people who slagged off the Monkees for not always appearing on their records instrumentally, said nothing when it came to the Beach Boys and other American acts who often utilized session players for their albums. Definitely my favourite Monkees LP, with probably the most consistently strong track listing of any of their albums.

When CDs first came out in the 1980s, my first purchasing mission was all the Beatle albums. After my bank account recovered. I headed into my favourite record shop in Sydney to purchase my top 5 non Beatle albums. Pisces Aquarius Capricorn and Jones Limited, was one of those. Even if I added all the Beatles albums back into the mix, this album is still in my top 5. Classic pop/country/rock.
@catdeli
I got the album as a 12 yr old for Xmas 1967. I have a photo from that moment of me in front of the Xmas tree holding the record. Loved it then and now.

I remember running down to my local drug store to pick this up when it was released. Got it home and realized I hadn’t looked to see it was stereo because the other three previous albums I had purchased were mono. Because I only had Mono player , I returned it and wasn’t able to find a mono copy. Back then we thought you would ruin a stereo record on a mono player. Didn’t know any better and neither did our parents That was the year I got my first stereo, a GE wildcat and a stereo copy of this record. It took another few years to actually find a mono copy in a used bin. Love both variations, but think the mono has more of a punch to it. Great review.

Christmas 1967 I get from Santa Claus 1. Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles 2. Surrealistic Pillow - Jefferson Airplane 3. The Doors 4. Disraeli Gears - Cream 5. Are You Experienced - Jimi Hendrix Experience and last but not least 6. Pisces Aquarius Capricorn & Jones Ltd. - The Monkees which I loved as much as "Headquarters" Thanks for all the relevant data from Andrew Sandoval's incredible book🇺🇸🎸🥁🎹🎤🔥❤
@johnroeckervengali
Yet another great video and nice you mentioned Craig Smith of Penny Arcade. An incredible but yet sad story of what he went through Fame on The Andy Williams Show working with Mike and then ended up in a mental institution and then homeless in Los Angeles. So it’s nice that he is noticed and not forgotten.
@XtoriezNovel
This album always creeped me out for personal reasons. I grew up in Midland Texas until I was nine, then we moved to Arkansas. After moving, Baby Jessica fell down the oil well in our former neighborhood, which freaked me out! The second day she was down there, before her rescue, my parents found this album at a garage sale. It did cheer me up, but I will always remember those scared feelings.
