television series and their last to be certified gold. The follow-up single, "D. W. Washburn," was not featured on the show, and only reached #19 on the pop charts. The song consists mainly of four chords (F major, E major, A major and C major), and the bridge introduces some harmonic variety (from F major to D minor, twice). Other appearances The original recording of "Valleri" was finally released in January 1990 as part of the Rhino Records collection Missing Links, Volume II, along with several other versions of songs used in the TV series. Single and LP releases of the second version, as well versions appearing on subsequent packages, feature a fadeout ending. The cold-ending version (heard in one episode of the television series and credited as "Valerie") was first released on Arista's Then & Now... The Best of the Monkees compilation in 1986. Subsequent hits packages and reissues of the single on the Flashback label also feature the longer version. Early examples of the Flashback single release have the fadeout ending. The song "Barmy" by the Fall from the 1985 album This Nation's Saving Grace includes a riff based on "Valleri." Live history When Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork reunited in 1986 to tour as the Monkees, they frequently featured "Valleri" in their set lists.
