"The Monkees Present" is The Monkees' eighth album. It is the second album released after the departure of Peter Tork, and the last to feature Michael Nesmith until 1996's "Justus".

The original plan was to release a double album which devoted one side to each member of the group, who by now were recording virtually as solo artists. With Tork gone, and record sales waning, the decision was made to pare the track selection down to a single disc.
