A lot of the music on this super deluxe package has been previously made available and to say that some of the material is previously unreleased, like 2017 stereo remixes, is somewhat misleading. Based on the list I saw, there are two previously unreleased songs: "Undecided," which I believe was written by Mike. It's probably a demo and not a fully realized recording. The other song is a song that was heard on one of the episodes of the TV series: "I Love You Really." Based on the snippet, not sure if it'll be that interesting of a song. One thing I wish Rhino could find are the Monkees' first attempts at making the music before Kirshner was brought in. Mike said they recorded about a hundred different songs. Bob Rafelson said some were incomplete, some were lousy, some were good and some gave him goosebumps. Rafelson and his partner Bert Schneider both believed they were capable of delivering the goods once they could hone their musical skills together, but it wasn't going to happen fast enough with the tight production on the series and the recordings limiting their time to play as a band. So in came Kirshner with pre-recorded songs just needing their voices, not their musical skills.
