Bonus tracks session information

"She's So Far Out, She's In"

  • Written by Thomas Baker Knight
  • Recorded at Goldstar Studios, Hollywood, January 16, 1967
  • A staple of the group's 1966-67 concert tour, this was the first official recording of the group with producer Chip Douglas. The group ran through several takes, but none came through to the satisfaction of Douglas. One full take (available on "Headquarters Sessions") came through in which Mike's lead guitar changed volume seconds into the performance.

"All of Your Toys" (single mix)

  • Unused track that was the proposed A-side of the next Monkees single, but song was not controlled by the Monkees' publishing company, Screen Gems; publisher Tickson Music refused to sell the copyright
  • Written by Bill Martin
  • Lead vocal by Micky Dolenz
  • Recorded at Goldstar Studios, Hollywood January 16, 1967 and RCA Victor Studios, Hollywood January 19, 23, 30 and 31, 1967

"The Girl I Knew Somewhere" (Nesmith version)

  • Written by Michael Nesmith
  • Lead vocal by Michael Nesmith
  • First known recording for the Headquarters album
  • Recorded at Goldstar Studios, Hollywood, January 16, 1967
  • Originally recorded with just electric guitar (played by Mike), acoustic guitar (Peter), drums (Micky), bass (John London), and tambourine (Davy), a complex harpsichord piece was added when Peter accidentally played the harpsichord during a rehearsal and the note that came out blended with the song to the enthusiastic satisfaction of Mike.

"Peter Gunn’s Gun" (jam session)

  • Written by Henry Mancini
  • This was one of numerous studio jams the boys concocted during recording.

"Jericho" (studio dialogue)

  • (Trad.) This was recorded during a break from regular sessions when Davy starts fooling around with a French horn, Peter and Chip make fun of his playing. Micky soon cuts in with a shtick about "Jericho's Wall" after Douglas mentions it and amid the laughter, the conversation spirals into a spontaneous vocal jam by Peter and Micky of the song "Jericho."
  • A longer, unedited version appears on the Headquarters Sessions compilation

  • Lead vocal by Michael Nesmith
