The Monkeys - The Turtles, Part 2

Douglas quit the Turtles to work with the monkeys, and took the group into the studio to cut two demo backing tracks for a potential single as a proof of concept. These initial sessions didn't have any vocals, but featured Nesmith on guitar, tour compiano, Dolan's on drums, Jones on tambourine, and an unknown bass player. They were garage band tracks rather than the professional studio recordings at the Candy Store Profits, or Jeff Barry's New York session players,. But they were competent in the studio, thanks largely to Chip Douglas' steadying influence. In later years Took would perform Bach pieces as his solo spot in Monkey's shows.
