(I Prithee) Do Not Ask For Love/
Buttermilk
Buttermilk, which was recorded a few years prior, was added to the record
to rush it quickly into stores.
On Facebook (3.13.24) Bill Chadwick had this to say:
"Mike is on it....I loaded up a bus that Randy Sparks provided and corralled everyone
signed to his company. Included were: myself, Mike Nesmith, Niles Brown, Del Ramos,
John London, Randy Sterling, Carol Strom, Owens Castleman, Michael Murphy
and the entire Back Porch Majority. Even I can’t recall who sang what,
especially since multiple people sang the same parts -
Randy thought
it broadened the sound.
I thought it muddled the track;
that is probably why it is impossible to figure who sang what."
Do Not Ask For Love was later covered by the Monkees
but didn't see
release until Missing Links Vol. 2 (1990).
