"Pleasant Valley Sunday" #3 8/19/1967

Ahh, suburbia and its creature comforts. Gerry Goffin and Carole King had just moved from NYC to a house on Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange, NJ, and wrote a song about it, though Michael Nesmith later claimed it was about a mental institution. By now, the Monkees were playing their own instruments more and more on the records - that really is Mike on the great guitar intro. This kinda fades into the ether at the end.

The mono version rules. That's the one that got airplay back in 1967.
