The Headquarters Sessions


The Headquarters Sessions is a compilation album by the American pop rock band the Monkees, released in 2000 by Rhino Handmade. It contains 84 tracks on three CDs, including 60 previously unreleased recordings from the sessions that produced the band's third album, Headquarters.
The set includes recordings from sessions where the band exercised creative control over all aspects of the recording process and where they played most of the instruments. All vocal masters from the sessions that were not included on the original stereo album are included, as well as the surviving vocal demos and a few tracks with vocals which were never completed. In addition, the original mono masters are presented in an initially proposed, but ultimately unused, running order.
The packaging contained a gatefold digipack with a 40-page booklet including photographs and detailed liner notes written by Andrew Sandoval and Bill Inglot. The Headquarters Sessions was a limited edition release of 4,500 units.
