Notes
- All songs are in stereo except "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone," "A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You," "Pleasant Valley Sunday," and "Words" which are in mono.
- "A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You" and "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" are not original mixes but the 1987 remixes as first released on the CD version of The Monkees Greatest Hits (Arista) in 1987.
- "Valleri" does not fade out but has the "cold ending" as first released on Then & Now... The Best of The Monkees in 1986.
