It was recorded in late 1966 and released on Colgems label # 102 on January 9, 1967. It displaced the band 's debut album from the top of the Billboard 200 chart and remained at No. 1 for 18 weeks -- the longest of any Monkees album. Combined, the first two Monkees albums were at the top of the Billboard chart for 31 consecutive weeks. More of the Monkees also went to No. 1 in the UK. In the U.S. it has been certified quintuple platinum by the RIAA with sales of more than five million copies. More of the Monkees is also notable for being the first pop / rock album to be the best - selling album of the year in the U.S. Contents 1 History 1.1 Artwork 2 Track listing 2.1 Original 1967 Colgems vinyl issue 2.2 1994 Rhino CD reissue 2.3 1996 Sundazed vinyl reissue 2.4 2006 Rhino deluxe CD reissue 3 Personnel 3.1 1994 Bonus tracks 3.2 2006 Bonus tracks 3.3 Other personnel 4 Charts 4.1 Album 4.2 Singles 5 Certifications 6 References History Monkeemania had reached full swing by the time the album was released. The Monkees ' second single, `` I 'm a Believer '' -- included on this album -- held the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 and they were about to embark on a highly successful concert tour. The release of More of the Monkees was rushed to capitalize on the band 's popularity, catching even its members by surprise. The band learned of the album 's existence while on tour in Cleveland, Ohio, discovering it had already been released. They were dismayed by the cover image of them and offended by production overseer Don Kirshner 's liner notes, which praised his team of songwriters before mentioning, almost as an afterthought, the names of the Monkees. The band, particularly Nesmith, was also furious about the songs -- selected for the record from 34 that had been recorded -- leading Nesmith to later tell Melody Maker magazine that More of the Monkees was `` probably the worst album in the history of the world ''. The group began to grow concerned over their musical output, since this album and their debut, The Monkees, featured them limited to just vocals with scattered instrumental contributions. Kirshner had a strict rule that the Monkees were to provide only vocals on his productions, though separate sessions produced by Michael Nesmith himself usually featured Peter Tork on guitar. More of the Monkees has Nesmith limited to one song as lead vocalist. Within weeks of the release of More of the Monkees, Nesmith lobbied successfully with the group 's creators, Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider, for the Monkees to be allowed to play their instruments on future records, effectively giving the quartet artistic control. To make his point clear to Kirshner, who was balking at the idea, Nesmith proceeded to punch a hole in the wall of a suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel during a group meeting with Kirshner and Colgems lawyer Herb Moelis, declaring to the latter : `` That could have been your face ! ''. This outburst came after Moelis snapped to Nesmith, `` You 'd better read your contract '', when Nesmith threatened to quit. Kirshner was later dropped from the project altogether. Artwork The original pressing catalog number is COM / COS 102. When the album was reissued in 1969 the Colgems symbol replaced the word `` Colgems '' on the bottom right - hand corner of the reverse side ( Catalog number COS 102 RE ). It was standard practice for RCA to add an `` RE '' when any one side of a record sleeve had a revision. There were no mono copies issued in 1969 as they were phased out altogether in 1968.

While Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart are the writers of the song, some sites and sources claim Jeff Barry, Angelo Badalamenti and Marianne Faithfull to have co-written the track. These hints are incorrect. Badalamenti and Faithfull did not begin collaborating until the mid 1990s, when they wrote a completely different song called `` She ''. Jeff Barry 's work with the band on this and later albums is well - documented ( including writing the song `` She Hangs Out '' ) and there is no reliable evidence or reason to believe he contributed to this track. `` When Love Comes Knockin ' ( at Your Door ) '' Written by Neil Sedaka and Carole Bayer Sager Lead vocal ( double tracked ) : Davy Jones Guitar : Al Gafa, Willard Suyker, Donald Thomas Piano : Neil Sedaka Bass : Russell Savakus Drums : Herbert Lovell Percussion : Unknown Recorded at RCA Victor Studios, Hollywood, November 23, 1966 Produced by Neil Sedaka and Carole Bayer Sager Engineered by Ernie Olerich `` Mary, Mary '' Written by Michael Nesmith Lead / backing vocals : Micky Dolenz Guitar : Peter Tork, James Burton, Glen Campbell, Al Casey, Michael Deasy Piano : Michael Cohen, Larry Knechtel Bass : Bob West Drums : Hal Blaine Percussion : Gary Coleman, Jim Gordon Recorded at Western Recorders, Hollywood, July 25, 1966 Arrangement : Don Peake Produced by Michael Nesmith The 1990 Arista CD Version features the Extended Stereo Mix, the same that appears in the More Greatest Hits CD Version. `` Mary Mary '' appeared on the Paul Butterfield Band 's East - West release a year before the Monkees ' version was released. `` Mary, Mary '' became a rap hit for Run - DMC in 1988. Despite being the songwriter and producer of the track, as well as being a member of the group, Michael Nesmith did not contribute vocally or musically to this track. `` Hold on Girl '' Written by Jack Keller, Ben Raleigh and Billy Carr Lead vocal : Davy Jones Backing vocals : Micky Dolenz Other personnel unknown Produced by Jeff Barry and Jack Keller Recorded at RCA Victor Studios, Hollywood, September 10, 1966 and American Studios, Studio City, October 23, 1966 Slower version can be found on Missing Links Vol. 2 `` Your Auntie Grizelda '' Written by Jack Keller and Diane Hildebrand Lead vocal : Peter Tork Other personnel unknown Produced by Jeff Barry and Jack Keller Engineered by Richard Podolor Recorded at American Studios, Studio City, October 23, 1966 `` ( I 'm Not Your ) Steppin ' Stone '' Written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart Lead vocal : Micky Dolenz Backing vocals : Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart Guitar : Wayne Erwin, Gerry McGee, Louie Shelton Organ : Bobby Hart Bass : Larry Taylor Drums : Billy Lewis Percussion : Henry Levy Produced and Arranged by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart Recorded at Western Recorders, Studio # 1, Hollywood, July 26, 1966 Appeared on the flip side of `` I 'm a Believer '' Reached number 20 on the pop charts, making it the first Monkees b - side to chart The original mono and stereo mixes differ slightly in two spots. On the stereo mix, Micky 's vocal is dubbed in at the end of the instrumental bridge just before the second verse ; this vocal bridge does not appear on the mono mix. During the fade, Micky 's repeated, `` Not your steppin ' stone '' begins sooner on the stereo mix than on the mono mix. The mono single fades out earlier than the track from the mono album, despite that both mixes are shown with a playing time of 2 : 25. `` Look Out ( Here Comes Tomorrow ) '' Written by Neil Diamond Lead vocal : Davy Jones Backing vocals : Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork Acoustic guitar : Neil Diamond Drums : Buddy Salzman Organ : Maurgan Cheff Percussion : Kauren Seguer Other personnel unknown Produced by Jeff Barry Recorded in New York City, October 15 and 23, 1966 ( studio unknown ) First of the two Neil Diamond songs performed by the Monkees on this album `` The Kind of Girl I Could Love '' Written by Michael Nesmith and Roger Atkins Lead vocal : Michael Nesmith Backing vocals : Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Peter Tork Guitar : James Burton, Glen Campbell, Al Casey, Michael Deasy Bass : Larry Knetchtel, Bob West Drums : Hal Blaine Percussion : Gary Coleman, Jim Gordon Steel Guitar : Michael Nesmith Arrangement : Don Peake Produced by Michael Nesmith Recorded at RCA Victor Studios, Hollywood, June 25, 1966 ( 7 : 30 PM -- 12 : 15 AM ) Last Nesmith collaboration with another composer `` The Day We Fall in Love '' Written by Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell Lead vocal : Davy Jones Guitar : Al Casey Harpsichord and Organ : Don Randi, Michel Rubini Bass : Carol Kaye, Ray Pohlman Drums : Hal Blaine Percussion : Frank Capp, Julius Wechter Violin : Louis Haber, Irving Spice, Lousi Stone Viola : David Sackson, Murray Sandry Cello : Seymour Barab Conductor : Arthur Butler Arranged and Produced by Jeff Barry Engineered by Ray Hall Recorded at RCA Victor Studios Hollywood, October 28, 1966 and RCA Victor Studio B, New York, November 23, 1966 `` Sometime in the Morning '' Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King Lead vocal : Micky Dolenz Backing vocals : Micky Dolenz and Carole King Other personnel unknown Produced by Gerry Goffin, Carole King and Jeff Barry Recorded at New York City, October 13 and 25, 1966 ( studio unknown ) `` Laugh '' Written by Hank Medress, Phil Margo, Mitchell Margo and Jay Siegal Lead vocal : Davy Jones Backing vocals : Davy Jones, Jeff Barry and Unknown Guitar : Al Casey and Carol Kaye Harpsichord and Organ : Don Randi, Michel Rubini Bass : Ray Pohlman Drums : Hal Blaine Percussion : Frank Capp, Julius Wechter Produced and Arranged by Jeff Barry Recorded at RCA Victor Studios, Hollywood, October 28, 1966 `` I 'm a Believer '' Written by Neil Diamond Lead vocal : Micky Dolenz Backing vocals : Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Peter Tork Guitar : Al Gorgoni, Sal Ditroia Acoustic Guitar : Neil Diamond Organ : Artie Butler Piano and Tambourine : Jeff Barry Bass : Dick Romoff Drums : Buddy Salzman Produced by Jeff Barry Recorded in New York City, October 15 and 23, 1966 Reached number 1 on the pop charts 1994 bonus tracks `` Do n't Listen to Linda '' ( First Recorded Version ) Written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart Lead vocal : Davy Jones Backing vocals : Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart, Ron Hicklin Guitar : Wayne Erwin, Gerry McGee, Louie Shelton Acoustic Guitar : Tommy Boyce Bass : Larry Taylor Drums : Billy Lewis Percussion : Gene Estes Saxophone : Jim Seals Recorded at RCA Victor Studios, Hollywood, October 28, 1966 Intended for More of the Monkees, then put aside and re-cut for The Birds, The Bees, & The Monkees, but then again put aside later for the Instant Replay album.
