- Notes
- "Porpoise Song" is featured on the original Colgems LP and most reissues in short form, as in the movie. The 1985 Rhino LP reissue features the full 4:00 single version.
- The version of "Ditty Diego-War Chant" from the LP is played at various speeds as if one was spinning the turntable manually. The "untampered" version, a remix from the original eight-track master, is featured on the 2001 Music Box CD compilation.
- "Circle Sky" in the film is a live version, but the album features a studio version. The film's live version appears on the Rhino CD as a bonus track.
- On iTunes, "Circle Sky (Live Version)" plays an alternate take of "You and I" (from 1969's Instant Replay) instead.
- This is the only original Monkees album without a song by Boyce & Hart.
- The original pressing of the LP featured the misspelled name of producer "Jerry Goffin". Later pressings corrected his name to "Gerry Goffin" and are denoted by the "RE" at the end of the catalog number: COSO-5008 RE.
