Listen To The Band, 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee.
Ref: The hideous TV Spec.
"You & I" [Justus] was recorded before 1996 by Monkees?
True
Ref: Note the lack of 'THE' just Monkees was put down. You can find it on Dolenz Jones Boyce & Hart the LP.
"I Never Thought It Peculiar" was played on the 70's re-run of "The Frodis Caper"?
True
Ref: Manufactured Image book, 70's repeats [I have a copy with it on!), T V & Film Vault.
All of the Monkees have quit the group at one time or another. Which Monkee left in which year?
Davy - 1997
Micky - 1989
Mike - 1969 & 1997 [we accepted 1970 as he did adverts then but paid out in 69]
Peter - 1968 & 2001
Ref: Many zines, sites, articles and books. Peter left first then Mike. After Changes things just dwindled. Micky quit for health reasons in 89. Peter stated in an interview in the mid 90's Davy was the only one never to have quit. Mike bailed in 97 after the UK Tour [I got to see him you know!]. Davy finally stropped at the end of 97 claiming never again it was done with he'd never be a Monkee again. Yeah right Davy. Of course Peter pulled the bailing act 01 coming full circle.
Which Monkee was hired first for the series pilot show?
Davy was.
Ref: Hey Hey We're The Monkees documentary & book, They Made A Monkee Out Of Me & Daydream Believin' books.
"Head" {the movie} made it's first UK cinema debut in what year?
It was first shown in December 1977 and ran through January 1978.
Ref: Headquarters Fanzine. When the sales of Daddy's Song & Head soundtrack failed to hit it big the film guys got edgy and pulled it's release until 1977. The Monkees Caught In A False Image book if you put March 1977 you still got the points as this book does state that as the date and I gave you the benefit of the doubt in having it.
Only three of the Monkees have played duel roles in various episodes.
False
Ref: Watch the shows every Monkees has had dual roles........ okay here's the run down to some, Davy - Prince And The Pauper, Fairy Tale. Micky - Alias Micky Dolenz, Fairy Tale. Mike - Fairy Tale. Peter - Card Carrying Red Shoes [watch the ending]. There are more but this shows but a few.

Ref: The episode.
What song sounded the death bell for Kirshner and why?
She Hangs Out or The Girl I Knew Somewhere would do a bonus for both. Kirshner had been told that the next Monkees 7" had to have a B Side with the boys playing on it.
