Rhino celebrates the 40th anniversary of the release of HEADQUARTERS with a deluxe two-disc set that contains the stereo and mono mixes of the original album along with rare and unreleased bonus tracks from the album's sessions.

The Monkees' third album, HEADQUARTERS, was also the group's third #1 record. Released in 1967 just as the Summer of Love was flowering, the album represents a watershed moment for the quartet. After a bitter fight for more creative control, the band members were finally allowed to pick the songs they sang and play on the songs they recorded. Working with producer Chip Douglas, the band tracked 13 songs for the album including the Nesmith-penned single "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" (which was not originally included on the album), "Shades Of Gray," "You Just May Be The One," "Randy Scouse Git" and "For Pete's Sake," a track later used as the closing theme to the band's Emmy-winning television show. Among the set's 21 bonus songs are several unreleased stereo remixes including "You Can't Tie A Mustang Down," "If I Learn To Play The Violin" and "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You," the #2 hit single written by Neil Diamond, plus demo versions of "Nine Times Blue," "Midnight Train" and "Pillow Time

Also included are unpublished photos and interviews with the Monkees along with in-depth liner notes penned by Andrew Sandoval, the author of The Monkees: The Day-By-Day Story Of The '60s TV Pop Sensation.
