	Interestingly, Rhino was planning on putting this release together without the assistance of Andrew Sandoval or Bill Inglot until they realized that all the Monkees mono single mixes were not already neatly compiled onto one reel.

	Hopefully, they found all the tapes this time around. The 2006 deluxe version of More has a vinyl cleanup for the mono version of "I'm A Believer" and at least a few other mono tracks.

	According to Andrew, all the tracks are sourced from tape (not "needledrops" as the Rhino marketing campaign confusingly mentions).
