This second official session and first produced by Nesmith involved arrangement by Donald Peake; guitarists James Burton, Glen Campbell, and Al Casey; Larry Knechtel on organ; Hal Blaine and Jim Gordon on drums; Gary Coleman on percussion; plus Robert West. Mike and Micky handled all vocals. "All The King's Horses" mysteriously remained unreleased on record until it was included on Rhino's Missing Links, Vol. 2, despite being featured on the television show in a different mix. The song dated back to 1963, and a version from that time, featuring Mike's old group, Mike, John & Bill, has been circulating. With the exception of an acoustic guitar rather than electric, this early version's arrangement is identical to The Monkees' version.
