Video: 'Headquarters [Deluxe Edition]' (first 14 videos comprise the original album)

(Monday, May 22, 1967)Headquarters, the third studio album issued by The Monkees and the first with substantial songwriting and instrumental performances by members of the group itself, rather than by session musicians and professional songwriters, was released today in the U.S.

“Randy Scouse Git” was also released as a single in the UK on this day, re-titled “Alternate Title” because the phrase “Randy Scouse Git” in Britain directly translated to, according to Dolenz, “horny, Liverpudlian jerk” (the single was backed with “Forget That Girl” on the B-side).
