The B-side of the current Monkees single was the first time the band all played their own instruments on a recording. Other than vocals, they'd been limited to Mike or Peter playing on a random track. That led to rancor and near-fistfights between the group and their show's musical director, Don Kirshner, who was eventually forced out. The Pre-Fab Four won the battle but lost the war; the show was canceled after two seasons. Kirshner's next TV project had leads who couldn't tałk back - the animated Archies. Clip is from "The Monkees" show and features Julie Newmar.
