==== ''The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees'' ==== No longer desiring to work as a group, the Monkees dropped Chip Douglas as a producer, and starting in November 1967, they largely produced their own sessions.<ref name="SandovalPage142" /> Although credited to the whole band, the songs were mostly solo efforts.<ref name="SandovalPage148">Sandoval (2005), p. 148.</ref> In a couple of cases, Boyce and Hart had returned from the first two albums to produce, but credit was given to the Monkees due to contractual requirements.<ref name="SandovalPage152">Sandoval (2005), p. 152.</ref> Propelled by the hit singles "Daydream Believer" and "[[Valleri]]", along with Nesmith's self-penned top 40 hit "Tapioca Tundra", ''[[The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees]]'' reached No. 3 on the Billboard charts shortly after it was released in April 1968.<ref name="SandovalPage183">Sandoval (2005), p. 183.</ref> It was the first album released after NBC announced they were not renewing ''The Monkees'' for a third season. The album cover—a quaint collage of items in a knickknack shelf—was chosen over the Monkees' objections. It was the last Monkees' album to be released in separate, dedicated mono and stereo mixes.<ref name="SandovalPage183" /> During the 1986 reunion, it returned to the Billboard charts for 11 weeks.<ref name="Discography"/>
