Without actually checking (because research is, y'know, overrated), I'd say 
that the recording of both "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" and (the 
then-unreleased) "All Of Your Toys" predate the Headquarters album; the former two tunes 
featured Davy, Micky, Peter, Michael and John London, while most of HQ was just 
The Monkees, occasionally abetted by producer Chip Douglas.
