Suggestion Box / Sir Douglas Quintet "Mendocino" or Monkees "Head" for series III?

I've been going thru and dubbing albums from my pre-recorded reel collection and coming across all sorts of "albums" that be great as tape project tapes. However, I noticed one audity that stands out for me - The Sir Douglas Quintet's "Mendocino". Its' been one of those albums I always heard about as a teenager, but could never find copy. I finally won a reel-to-reel copy of it on E-bay and like wow! A funky mix of SF Psychedelia, Texas Blues stuff that sounds pretty original and like the stuff that genre roots are made of. I don't know if anyone else remembers Sir Doug or the album and would like to nominate it.
I also found a copy of the Monkees last album (I think?) "Head" and found it very interesting and listenable. Was totally blown away and shocked to learn Carole King co-penned "the Porpoise Song". Who'd thought? It'd make a great artifact from 60's...did you know that Niel Young played on the album? Lots' of big names played on it....it'd be great to have a decent copy of it from the Tape Project too...
Best, HOpkins
