Trivia Footnotes: "If You Have The Time" was originally considered for use in The Monkees' 1968 feature film HEAD. The heretofore-unreleased Bill Chadwick tune was released in July 1987 on Rhino's Missing Links (R2 70150); however, the version of “If You Have The Time” used in the CBS repeat of “Dance, Monkee, Dance” was alternate to that which was used on Missing Links, as it featured no Moog synthesizer mix.

MARCH 24, 1973

The Monkees was preempted on ABC by Soul Unlimited.
