Yesterday the news came through of the death of Peter Tork (77years old) of The Monkees, so it seemed fitting that today's Tidy Tune should be something from that band with Peter's vocal ringing out.
Tork may have played a bit of a dimwit on The Monkees TV show but he was actually a very intelligent fellow, a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

Reissue of the 1976 Greatest Hits album originally released on Arista Records (which was has also been reissued in 1980, 1982, and 1986).
Strangely enough, the track listing for this album is exactly the same as Re-Focus - The Monkees that was released by Bell Records in 1972 and Bell Records eventually became a part of the Arista Records stable in 1974.

Dad thought the Monkees were a bad influence but my brother Jerry was a mechanical/electrical/musical/chemical/philosophical genius and so he found an old broken and discarded TV, fixed it, took it into our play area in the basement where we watched them as my dad planted roses, mowed the lawn, made a rock gardens, pulled weeds and dandelions out of the front yard and mom cleaned, cooked, vacuumed, mopped and we thought that Saturday mornings were magic!
ReplyDeleteExcellent stuff. Hard to imagine that anyone ever thought they were a bad influence! Music always has a habit of stirring up trouble for someone! ;)
