Rough Translation:

 

Probably the ensemble that has sold more albums for RCA, the famous MONKEES, whose latest single, that we now present, "Valleri" and "Tapioca Tundra"; entered the Billboard charts with the hallmark of having sold a million records in its first week.

Almost everybody knows by now the story of their "creation", but we believe it is interesting to highlight the musical maturity of these boys, eminently imaginative, who not only have their own personalities but that, in addition, they are developing those personalities, which is so important, as this is the identity of the group.

In 1968, after a whole lot of traveling, they carried out the plans for their television producer. After finishing their television program this year, they will make a film that will require a trip to Japan and perhaps some nearby restaurants or night clubs. This will be the second time that the set leaves the United States to act. Their first international action (and with much success) was in London at the beginning of 1967.

Projects for recordings are not quite sure yet, but their followers can expect at least two new LPs plus three or four singles.

It is a wonder that none of these discs includes the word "creyente" (believer); that seems to be their amulet. Their two most important discs have been "I'm A Believer" and the more recent "Daydream Believer", which will soon sell four million copies in the United States. By the way, they have made believers of those who predicted they would not last a year.
