do you think that there will be a missing links volume 4?

If there is a ML4, it'll probably be a solo years complation. As future outtakes will be put in future CD deluxe reissues I'm sure.


Any leftovers maybe on a ML4. That's what Andrew specuclated in a interview w/ Goldmine magazine in a 96 interview.

Well there have been a few outtakes that haven't appeared in the recent Deluxe editions. For example, there are some alternate mixes of "This Just Doesn't Seem to Be My Day", "Saturday's Child" and "Take a Giant Step" that were used in the TV series but haven't been released on CD yet. Of course, it would also depend on whether or not the masters still exist.

There's the Rhino DVDs which count as a digital source (legit). Well according to Drew's book!

It would be nice to get a solo years compilation. There is a lot of Davy Jones pre-Monkees out there and some Mike Nesmith and a little Micky Dolenz. Not aware of Peter Tork recording anything before the Monkees.

Rhino owns Davy's pre-solo stuff. There's also some snippets of rare Nez pre-solo stuff including a cover(?) of "Who do you love?" (?) over on the podcasts interviews w/ Nez on this site over in the "Listen" section.

Rhino also owns the rights to the Michael Blessing recordings Nez did for Colpix.

Nesmith's pre-Monkees recordings are scattered around a number of small time labels that no longer exists.Wonder if the rights and masters to those pre-Colpix singles can be found.

Raybert bought all of those (rights), for Nez's small label (pre-Monkees), if I've read correctly in Andrew's book for $7000.

Paging Andrew...how about a pre-Monkees compilation for release on Rhinohandmade.com ??

Obviously Rhino has the rights to Davy's and Nez PMS. (pre monkee sounds)

There's the Japanese bootleg Monkey Solo Recordings which collects Micky's, Davy's, Mike's PMS material.


Of course a stateside legit release would be nice, there's a few actetes of Mike outtakes as well. Including "Who Do You Love?", a clip can be heard on the Podcast interview.

Marty..as with any bootlegs...gotta ask..what IS the sound quality ??

It used the sonic no noise solution in the mastering. Here's from monkees.net:

Monkey Solo Recordings Davy Jones/Mike Nesmith/Micky Dolenz
Mono, mastered from vinyl. Davy: All Colpix album and single recordings. Micky: Challenge recordings. Mike: Edan and Colpix recordings.

www.eil.com had a copy for $50 U.S. It's an official bootleg and had a cover, OBI strip etc.


It pops up on ebay from time to time.

An "Official Bootleg" ??? ROFL..sounds like an oxymoran.

Made from the original vinyl ? are the original tapes lost ??

For $50..I'll pass

An official bootleg, meaning in the sense that it's not legit here, but was sold in stores in Japan. Official bootleg also means actual factory produced CDs (but non-legit by record label), not a homemade CD-R.


What does ROFL stand for? The masters are lost for Davy's material. And they used Vinyl sources as it was probably the only thing available.

Wonder how many of the Colpix masters are missing.They had quite a few hits before becoming Colgems.

Are the Lewis & Clarke ,Sally Field and Sajid Khan masters also missing ?
