A Month of Monkees: An Alternate Reality Part 2

Continuing with my collaboration with Michelle 66, I present to you the second "Alternate Reality" LP from the Monkees. In this alternate reality, "More Of The Monkees" features only tracks produced by Boyce & Hart / Nesmith (ala the first LP). But, what to do with all of the quality tracks produced by Jeff Barry at the same time? After all, Don Kirshner would never let the boys not release "I'm A Believer"! Well, in the alternate reality timeline, Colgems released a *third* Monkees' album in March 1967. It was a "quickie" to cash in again. Whereas in the real world, the Monkees were angry at the release of their second album without their knowledge, in this alternate reality they wouldn't care about the release of a "third album" as they were working on Headquarters at the time of it's release. It all makes perfect alternate reality sense!

1. A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You

As with the last alternate reality LP, Michelle 66's original art contained "Bonus Tracks" on the mini-LP. Once again I chose to keep it "bonus track free" to make it feel more like a legitimate release from the 60s. And as with the alternate reality More of The Monkees, many of the tracks used are alternate takes and recordings. Enjoy!
