https://soundcloud.com/retrocapnjack/185-10-10-monkeesTracks 1-6, 8-9 & 11 are original versions of songs The Monkees ended up recording.
Tracks 7 & 10 are cover versions of Monkees originals (7 is sung from the woman's point of view).
Tracks 12 & 13 are demos given to The Monkees (13 has the demo talked over by the songwriter and Beach Boy Mike Love).
Tracks 14 & 15 were originally recorded for the
More Of The Monkees album but weren't released until a few years later on
The Monkees Present. These are the original mono mixes.
Let me know what you think of this set. Hope you enjoy it as much as I had fun compiling it!
