Headquarters is the third album issued by the Monkees and the first
with substantial songwriting and instrumental performances by members of
the group itself, rather than by session musicians and professional
songwriters. After a struggle for creative autonomy with their record
label, the group had been allowed, to a degree, to record by themselves.
Headquarters reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified
double platinum in the United States with sales of more than two
million copies within the first two months of release. It peaked at No. 2
on the UK charts. It is included in the 2006 book 1001 Albums You Must
Hear Before You Die.
The original rear album cover features a collage of photos including one of the band with producer Chip Douglas and engineer Dick Bogert. However, the photo was mislabeled: it identifies engineer Hank Cicalo as sitting next to Chip Douglas. This is known as the "producers cover". Colgems/RCA corrected the error by substituting a different photo rather than revising the caption. Peter, Micky and Mike were sporting light beards while Davy's shoulder-length hair had been cut off; this has come to be known as the "beard cover". This is the corrected version because it was standard practice for RCA to add an "RE" to the catalog number when any one side of a record sleeve had a revision. The "beard cover" has a catalog number of COS/COM-103 RE.
