Music And Records: The Monkess

Posted by: Fusion 45 in Sal's Boutique, tags: , ,

Written by the hit machine of Boyce and Hart and recorded in Studio 1 at Hollywood’s Western Recorders (with members of the Wrecking Crew in tow), Steppin’ Stone was a Top 20 hit for the Monkees in 1966. It was the first B-side to make the charts from TV show that begot a band.

Written to the epitome of pop simplicity (I-III-IV-VI in EM, repeated to death) and appropriately covered by the Sex Pistols, this song was actually recorded previously by Paul Revere and The Raiders.

    A fantastic garage rocker covered by countless bands that sounds great years after it was written. BTW - Paul Revere’s version is, IMHO, the better version - sounds more raw and gritty.
