description: Greatest Hits from the First Season on LP, 2CD & Blu-Ray! Includes Rare TV Mixes & 10 Fan-Favorite Episodes! On August 16, 1966, The Monkees introduced themselves to the world with the group's debut single, "Last Train to Clarksville." A month later, the song was racing to #1 when The Monkees television series debuted on September 12.
