Missing Links is a 1987 compilation album by The Monkees. While "Apples, Peaches, Bananas And Pears" and "If You Have the Time" both featured in the reruns of their 1960s television series, [1] none of the tracks had ever been issued commercially. Missing Links is the first volume of a three-volume set (followed by Missing Links Volume 2 and Missing Links Volume 3).
"All Of Your Toys", written by Bill Martin, was the first recording to feature all four Monkees performing playing on the track, and was intended to become their third single. A publishing issue prevented the songfrom being released, and Neil Diamond's "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" was chosen instead.
Michael Nesmith re-recorded "Nine Times Blue" for his Magnetic South album and "Carlisle Wheeling" (as "Conversations") for his Loose Salute album.
When originally released on vinyl in the U.S. in 1987, tracks 7, 8, 15 and 16 were not included. The compact disc was released in the U.S. and UK in 1988.
