(1988)"Pool It!", issued 1987 by
Rhino Records , is a pop/rock album (the tenth studio release) byThe Monkees . It was the first "reunion album" by the band after their 1986 rebirth, and it marked the return ofPeter Tork along withMicky Dolenz and Davy Jones.Michael Nesmith did not participate in this reunion.Much like the group's early work, the playing and writing of the album was handled in large part by session musicians, with the Monkees themselves contributing lead vocals and some instrumentation, namely Peter Tork on his own song "Gettin' In".
The album was not a particular commercial or critical success, though it did reach #72 on the "
Billboard 200 ". One single from the album, "Heart and Soul," did manage to make "Billboard"'s Hot 100 chart, peaking at #89. The follow-up single, a remixed version of "Every Step of the Way", failed to chart.Track listing
