Freedom was a subsidiary of Liberty Records (logical enough), with Jerry Capehart as its A&R man. Capehart was Eddie Cochran's manager and Eddie plays guitar on all the four Freedom sides, though he was not really a member of the Four Dots, as is alleged by the discography mentioned at the end.
By 1967, Akens was recording for Colgems Records, a joint venture between Screen Gems (a division of Columbia Pictures) and RCA Records to issue records by the Monkees and other Screen Gems artists.
For Colgems, Jewel recorded what he considered to be his finest recordings, cover versions of Thurston Harris' "Little Bitty Pretty One" and Arthur Alexander's "You Better Move On".

Colgems released "The Monkees Greatest Hits" in 1969 (several albums have had this title, but the tracks on each (later versions on Arista Records and on Rhino Records) version are different, but it barely made the Top 100 albums list, peaking at # 93.
Despite the age of these recordings (in 2006, some of these tracks will be 40 years old), the sound is as clean and clear as if they were brand new.

Sometime in 1969, Colgems replaced the Screen Gems and Columbia Pictures logos on the labels with their own logo (like the one shown on the D.W. Washburn sleeve).
The "TM of Colgems Records" disclaimer under the Colgems umbrella at the top of the label had vanished....The prices reflect what a M- LP is worth.

"Valleri" had first been recorded by the Monkees in 1966 in a version used on the television series but never released on record (until the 1990's), presumably because the master tape was owned by Don Kirshner, fired before a release could be considered.
But while it was an impressive recording, it was not a wise choice for a pop single, particularly for a group that needed a big hit if they had any hopes of keeping sales alive.
And when Colgems Records realized that a fair deal of the country was taking more interest in "Listen To The Band," they revamped their promotion for the single and marketed it as the topside.

The Monkees' Greatest Hits was released by Colgems Records, who saw their clients fading off the charts and tried to milk the cow dry while they could by reselling their old hits.
By 1972, Colgems had for all intents and purposes, morphed into...Bell Records, and before the staff got used to the new name, a whole new collection, this time back down to one disc, hit the racks, entitled Refocus.

As with most of the now-collectable Colpix/Colgems recordings of the 1960s, the sound on this Rushing set is incredible, having been transferred directly from the original 3 track masters, capturing the intimacy of his phrasing while letting the backing musicians cut through in a crystal clear accompaniment.

 Interview with Andrew Sandoval (8-10-05)
Arista had inherited the Bell Records catalog which was a division of Columbia pictures so they had some Monkees tapes and then Columbia Pictures actually for a time owned all of the unreleased Monkees material and they had some tapes.
Long after they’d stopped recording, they’d come back on for a second or two and put something on the end of the tape, so I did find some interesting things.
E.C.: The legend was always that it was recorded at the Red Velvet Club, and that members of The Goodtimers and The Monkees were given dubs of the tape.
