Mike Nesmith - Good Clean Fun (1970)

The second of my Mike Nesmith posts collects songs from the Monkees later albums 'Instant Replay' and 'The Monkees Present', when they lost Peter Tork to become a three-piece, as well as some songs that Nesmith wrote for earlier Monkees albums but which were left off the final track listings, although some of them did turn up on the TV shows. Added to those are a few out-takes and demos from the 'Headquarters' sessions, such as his take on 'Zilch', which all of the group had a go at before they were all blended together for the final album cut, and his contribution to the '33 ⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee' television special of 1969, with 'Naked Persimmon'. To flow nicely on from the last post I've started this one with the country version of 'Listen To The Band', which closed the 'Papa Gene's Blues' album.
