The Monkees - Star Collector

I actually choked up a bit on learning of Davy Jones's untimely death this week. He was one of my first pop star crushes, and always came across as quite personally likeable in the interviews I saw with him over the years. And yes, I quite enjoy the music, too. Still.

Here's one that I'm sure won't have got as much airplay in the past 48 hours as "Daydream Believer" and a couple others would have, but it's always been one of my favourite Monkees tunes. A very fast-paced piece of psychedelic bubble-gum pop, with Moog...classic.

From their fourth album, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. from 1967.
