A tale of 2 classic albums...
1964: The Beatles Second Album (actually, a totally American creation of Capitol Records assembled from various singles, EPs and left-over tracks from the British album With the Beatles) reaches #1 on the U.S. album charts.
1967: The Monkees release their third album, Headquarters, the first to be completed under the Monkees’ own direction,. Tired of being relegated to simply adding vocals to tracks created by session musicians, Michael Nesmith led a successful rebellion to gain more input and creative control of Monkees recordings
