Two teaser radio promos for the Monkees' 'Head' were constructed in 1968, each featuring a 'Revolution #9'-esque 60-second sound collage of snippets from the film. The first included the words "Coming... Soon..."; the second, "Now... Playing..." Most of the first promo was reused as the 'Opening Ceremony' on the soundtrack LP. Both were included on Rhino's expanded CD - and will be included again on the forthcoming Deluxe boxed set

However, it would appear that the two separate sound collages were originally the left and right channels of one stereo-mixed construction. This video combines both tracks together in an attempt to reconstruct how it originally sounded. Listening on headphones, some of the snippets are exclusive to either channel, while others pan from left to right or vice versa.

Sped up by about 5% to match the actual performance speed of the film, and visuals added, syncing the sound collage clips with their source material.
