Edit for headphones. The Mamas & the Papas used top-level Los Angeles studio musicians on their recordings. On this track Larry Knechtel played keyboards, Joe Osborn played bass, Hal Blaine was on drums and P.F. Sloan played guitar. Sloan was just 20 years old when the song was released. He describes it as a "magical session," and says that he gave Hal Blaine the idea for the drum riff based on a song he had worked on when he was a member of the Grass Roots. He used a tremolo effect on his guitar part, which he overdubbed later. This edit is also to get the guitar (and harpsichord) sound clearer.
"Monday, Monday" was a 1966 #1 hit in July in the US, #2 in Holland, Belgium and Germany, #3 in the UK, #4 in Australia. Any more chart input is welcome.
The best selling hit of "The Mamas and The Papas", though Denny Doherty, Michelle Phillips and (mama) Cass Elliot didn't like the song at all when recording it...
