Note:
I do not own The Monkees' songs. They are owned by Colgems and Rhino Records, and Screen Gems. I'm just a fan of their music, and I made this compilation.

A random compilation that I thought up, collecting up all the songs The Monkees recorded between Mid 1966 and the 23rd February 1967 that have been released. My original intention was to feature only tracks that had been recorded in January 1967 or earlier.

But I didn't realise at first that the version of 'The Girl I Knew Somewhere' that was subsequently released as a B-Side to 'A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You' was recorded solely in February 1967, which pressured me into making it so that all the tracks recorded on the 23rd February 1967 or earlier that have been released would be included.

So thus 'Sunny Girlfriend' which was recorded on the same day as the single version of 'The Girl I Knew Somewhere' was included on this fictional compilation also.

All the songs that were recorded under the Monkees' name on the 23rd February 1967 at the latest that have not been released have not been featured on this fictional compilation, although I have listed every song that the Monkees recorded during that time that haven't been released below.
