Notes

All songs are in stereo except "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone," "A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You," "Pleasant Valley Sunday," and "Words" which are in mono.
"A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You" and "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" are not original mixes but the 1987 remixes as first released on the CD version of The Monkees Greatest Hits (Arista) in 1987.
"Valleri" does not fade out but has the "cold ending" as first released on Then & Now... The Best of The Monkees in 1986.
