Fifty years ago this week, the Monkees released their first album.  Those early years, radio stations treated the Monkees much like they did the Beatles, i.e. they played every song on every album when they were released.  By 1967, the Monkees had much more control over their music and decided which songs to record.  They also played most instruments themselves rather than employ studio musicians.  That year they had a huge hit with the double-sided Pleasant Valley Sunday bw Words. Today "Words" is very much a forgotten oldie.
