The Monkees Memorabilia!
Drummer Micky Dolenz may have said it best: "The Monkees were a TV show that became a rock 'n' roll band." Originally conceived as a network sitcom about a fictional band, aping the style of Richard Lester's Help and A Hard Day's Night. The four Monkees who eventually passed the screen test auditions all had musical backgrounds--Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork had both been heavily involved in the L.A. folk and rock scenes; Davy Jones was a musical theater performer who'd appeared in Oliver! on Broadway, and Dolenz was a child actor who became a fine enough drummer via the Monkees that Frank Zappa eventually asked him to drum with the Mothers. The group's first two LPs were basically "manufactured" by teen music mogul Don Kirshner--but by the time of their third release, the Monkees had wrestled for and won control of their music.
