The Girl I Knew Somewhere is the first version sung by Nesmith!
They were obviously sent the wrong tape; however RCA must have realized their error
because the stock of this single has Micky on lead vocals.

The Nesmith lead vocal version wasn't heard until some bootlegs
surfaced in '80s, so this is a real surprise find.

The album title in red, The Monkees Present, is missing!

Updated the Canadian Rhino CD page for these reissues.

A few weeks back a seller from Canada posted a few CDs for sale that had US inserts
but Canadian copyrights on the CD. It was previously believed the only ones released there
were the CRC versions (Columbia Record Club).

Here is an example of the copyright.
