The Monkees: "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd."


Released in 1967, this was The Monkees' fourth album.  Besides the generally great pop music featured on this album it is noteable for the fact that among the instrumentation is one of the first recorded instances of the Moog synthesizer.  The instrument was owned by Mickey Dolenz, who had purchased one of the first twenty made.
Cover art by Bernard Yezsin.


This album stayed in California.
