Pool It!, issued 1987 by Rhino Records, is a pop/rock album (the tenth studio release) by The Monkees. It was the first "reunion album" by the band after their 1986 rebirth, and it marked the return of Peter Tork along with Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones. Michael Nesmith, the fourth original Monkee, 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. The album did not succeed in capturing the new fans of the Monkees, and was not a particular commercial or critical success. One single from the LP, "Heart and Soul", did manage to make Billboard's Hot 100 chart, peaking at #89.
