Albums (Non-Sequential)
PRS-329 1970: The Monkees Golden Hits (Monkees) (Promotional tie-in with cereal box records that were found on various Post cereals to promote The Monkees move to Saturday morning TV.)
SCOS-1001 January 1971: Barrell Full of Monkees (Monkees)

(Note: A promotional 12 inch single, which many claim was the first ever released in this format, is said to have been released to promote the Casino Royale soundtrack. Dusty Springfield's "The Look of Love" was on this single; I don't know if it was the same on both sides (perhaps stereo/mono) or if there was a "B" side to this release. Several group members claim that this is a recent bootleg, and not part of the original Colgems releases.

And of course, many of the singles released on Colgems records also had an accompanying promotional release, with a yellow/black label rather than the traditional red/white label.)

Cereal Box Records
In 1969, The Monkees TV shows moved to Saturday morning television, and a series of cereal box records-on the back of Post cereal boxes which had to be carefully cut out-were produced, with the Colgems logo prominently displayed on them. Here is a listing of these cardboard records:

The Monkees design #1 (Rice Krinkles/Colgems) (Micky, Davy, Mike; green label with guitar logos between each head in spiral) 1. Monkees theme 2. Tear Drop City 3. Papa Gene's Blues 4. The Day We Fall In Love

The Monkees design #2 (Alpha Bits/Colgems) (big Monkees logo in middle, Davy, Mike & Micky's heads around logo, black label) 1. Last Train To Clarksville 2. I Wanna Be Free 3. Forget That Girl 4. Valeri

The Monkees design #3 (Honey Comb/Colgems) (red and white Monkees logo and musical notes, blue or purple grooves) 1. I'm A Believer 2. Pleasant Valley Sunday 3. I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone 4. Mary, Mary
