(Friday, June 25, 1966, 7:30 p.m.-12:15 a.m. PDT) — 15 days after the first official Monkees recording session, produced by Snuff Garret with no finished results (the tape of those sessions were lost), the made-for-TV band (with member Michael Nesmith producing) held its second recording session tonight at RCA Victor Studios in Hollywood, completing “I Don’t Think You Know Me” (with Michael Nesmith on lead vocals).
(Friday, June 10, 1966, 7:00 p.m. PDT) — Ten days after starting production on their television series, The Monkees held their first official recording session tonight at RCA Hollywood with Snuff Garret producing.
Garrett attempted to record two songs before the session came to a halt. The band had protested vigorously to Garret’s declaration that member David Jones would be the group’s lead singer going forward.
Garrett’s takes of “Take A Giant Step” and “Let’s Dance On” were lost.
