The Monkees’ second album, More Of The Monkees (Colgems #COM/COS-102), was released on LP and 8-track. It featured both sides of the Colgems #66-1002 single, issued on November 12, 1966 ("I'm A Believer", b/w "[I'm Not Your] Steppin' Stone"), as well as some TV-soundtrack tunes ("She," "Mary, Mary," "Laugh") and non-TV soundtrack tunes ("When Love Comes Knockin' [At Your Door]," "Hold On Girl," "The Day We Fall In Love"). More Of The Monkees is notable for retaining the first Monkees track to carry a lead vocal from Peter Tork: Keller and Hilderbrand's "Your Auntie Grizelda."



Tracks for More Of The Monkees were cut in New York City at RCA Victor Studios, Hollywood; Western Recorders Studios, Hollywood; Western Recorders Studios #1, Hollywood; RCA Victor Studio A, Hollywood; RCA Victor Studio B, Hollywood; American Studios, Studio City between July 25 and November 23, 1966.

This was the second and final album The Monkees issued under the watchful eye of Don Kirshner, who, after releasing the "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You"/"She Hangs Out" (#66-1003, withdrawn!) single against a 50% Monkee-control rule, was bounced from The Monkees' project.
