(1991)Missing Links Volume Two is the second of three rarity albums by the Monkees. It was released in 1990. The album was notable for containing several tracks that had been featured in the television series but had never before been available commercially.
Track listing
- "All the King's Horses" (Nesmith)
- "Valleri" (TV version) (Boyce & Hart)

- "Down the Highway (Michigan Blackhawk)" (Gerry Goffin and Carole King)
- "Hold On Girl" (Slow version) (Jack Keller, Ben Raleigh, & Billy Carr)

- "Riu Chiu" (Studio version with Chip Douglas filling in for Davy Jones on vocals) (traditional)
- "You Just May Be the One," "Hold On Girl," "If I Ever Get to Saginaw Again," and "Mr. Webster" are CD Only Tracks
- The TV version of "Words" featured here includes a quick backwards tape segment not included in the lone episode the track appeared in ("Monkees Manhattan Style")
- "Michigan Blackhawk" is a mistitled track; the song included here is a Gerry Goffin/Carole King country-rock tune, "Down The Highway," that Mike recorded in 1968; the mistitling comes from the use of the title "Michigan Blackhawk" on an unfinished Nesmith track from 1969.
- "All the King's Horses," "You Just May Be the One," and "Do Not Ask for Love" were all 1966 tracks produced by Mike that feature bassist Robert West with a Danelectro "dano" bass; the "dano" bass accounts for the distinctive twang these songs have on bass.
- The songwriting credit for "Come On In" is mistakenly given as "Levinson/Duboff."
iTunes Mistakes
"I Wanna Be Free" plays the same version from the debut album. "You Just May Be the One" plays the same version from "Headquarters". "Circle Sky" plays "You and I" instead.
