History


Although the Monkees had recorded dozens of tracks since the release of their last studio album, spring 1968's The Birds, The Bees & the Monkees (a soundtrack LP from their film Head had been released between the two studio LPs), several of the songs on Instant Replay actually dated from sessions up to two and a half years earlier.

The band's new music coordinator (and former road manager), Brendan Cahill, believed that releasing previously unused tracks recorded in 1966—prior to the group's seizing control of their own recording process—was the way for the group to regain commercial success. The album's lead single, "Tear Drop City," written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, was one of the songs taken from the vault and was identified by Michael Nesmith as their intended first single in 1966. The track was not a major hit, only managing to reach No. 56 on the U.S. charts, while reaching No. 34 in Australia. Despite the single's poor chart performance, the album charted on the Billboard Top 40 Albums chart at No. 32.[2]

Micky Dolenz's "Just a Game" had originally been written during the sessions for the album Headquarters (1967), while Nesmith's "Don't Wait for Me" was the first released product of his 1968 sessions with Nashville studio musicians. Davy Jones' "You and I" featured guitar work from Neil Young.


Production notes


Two songs from these sessions, "A Man Without a Dream" and "Someday Man" (later issued as the B-side of the "Listen to the Band" single), were produced by Bones Howe and recorded at Wally Heider's Studio. Howe brought in Wrecking Crew musicians, including Tommy Tedesco (guitar), Joe Osborn (bass) and Hal Blaine (drums), and a nine-piece horn section. Despite having already quit the group, Peter Tork makes an appearance on this album by playing guitar on the 1966 outtake "I Won't Be the Same Without Her."
