Who doesn't love More of the Monkees?

I only knew Admiral Halsey from Ram--the other two here are fascinating. I think Monkberry may be a parody of John Lennon.

Oddly enough I've never heard the sophomore Asia--will check it out soon.

My favorite second album is appropriately titled Volume Two--it's way ahead of the first Soft Machine album and like nothing else afterwards (typical of all their albums).

From Soft Machine's drummer after he left the band, here's "I'm a Believer" (1974) https://youtu.be/mMtU_cgSifo?feature=shared
