- 024 Rolled Gold (The Action) / Mighty Baby (Mighty Baby)Let us show one another things we never usually see with this fascinating but relatively obscure pair of albums.

- 022 Pisces Aquarius Capricorn & Jones Ltd / The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees (The Monkees)Hey hey they’re The Monkees and people may say the hosts monkey around in this episode as they get sidetracked into Tork-ing about wedding receptions, live gigs and, inevitably, Peter Reid.
