As the Monkees entered the studio as a band, Don Kirshner was still producing sessions. Kirshner had promised the two sides of the next single to Neil Diamond and Jeff Barry, the team behind "I'm A Believer." In February 1967, Kirshner released the "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You"/"She Hangs Out" single, against the new 50% Monkee-control rule. This resulted in his firing from The Monkees' project. Though the single was withdrawn, it did reach the consumer level in Canada. Also, Kirshner pressed a fair number of promotional singles, "My Favorite Monkee" Davy Jones Sings. In March, "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" became the B-side of the group's third single. This song can be found in two different mixes. A mix with handclaps appears on The Monkees Music Box while a mix without them popped up on I'm A Believer and Other Hits in 1998.
