Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Almost immediately after the demise of the Monkees in 1970, there was industry clamor for a reunion & publisher Christian Dewalden came forward with an offer to finance the project. A kind of pseudo Monkees was created enlisting the services of gifted songwriting team Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart (perhaps best known for penning the first number one hit for the Monkees, 'Last Train to Clarksville', but in fact responsible for a large chunk of the Monkees music). The album is dominated by Mickey Dolenz, whose writing and vocals are excellent, and was originally released in 1976. El. 2005.

3.0 out of 5 stars Serious remastering needed!, October 3, 2005

By	Shane D. Worden (Oshkosh, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dolenz Jones Boyce & Hart (Audio CD)

Well, the good news is that the DJB&H Capitol album is finally out on a legit. CD label. I seriously thought that nobody was ever going to see any interest in reissuing this album on CD. And there IS some good music here. Songs like "Remember The Feeling" and "Right Now" have that happy go lucky Monkee "sound". Even "You And I" was remade, (with a completely different arrangement), on JUSTUS, the Monkees reunion album with the elusive Mike Nesmith in 1996. The album in and of itself is definitely worth a listen.

However, this reissue of the project is in serious need of some sonic TLC. Anyone who listens to this CD will easily be able to tell that it was recorded off a vinyl copy of the album, hence my three star rating. It's a shame that nobody has taken the time to locate the masters and do a proper job of remastering this recording in it's entirety. Several of the tracks do appear on the Boyce And Hart Anthology import album, (also available here on Amazon), and those tracks do sound better to my ears than what they do here.

Buy this if you're a Monkee completist who has been waiting for somebody to wake up and release the Capitol album. Skip it if you're perfectly happy with the vinyl and/or the previously available CD-R bootleg copies of the recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars DJBH: The Guys Who Wrote 'Em & The Guys Who Sung 'Em, January 29, 2006

This review is from: Dolenz Jones Boyce & Hart (Audio CD)

In 1976 Monkees Micky Dolenz & Davy Jones along with songwriters Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart produced the only studio album of DJBH. To showcase the album the band performed Right Now & I Remember the Feeling, my favorite song of 1976, on American Bandstand that year.
Many feel this recording is the best post 1960s Monkees related album. Mr. Dolenz gives audio testimony as to why a lot of people feel he's one of the all-time great vocalists in Rock & Roll history.
A 2005 English import, the sound quality is above average (I suggest cranking the volume up to make up for lost sound). Don't let the not quite sonically sound album keep you from going on this half Monkees audio adventure!

3.0 out of 5 stars Error in Song Listing, September 28, 2005

By	Ronald L. Cohen (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dolenz Jones Boyce & Hart (Audio CD)

The listing shows the first song as "Right Now I Love You (And I'm Glad That I Said It)". This is actually the first two selections. The first is "Right Now" and the second is "I Love You (And I'm Glad That I Said It)". Anyhow, I have not played this record for some time but I do remember that the second selection, "I Love You (And I'm Glad That I Said It)" is by far the best selection on the album. It should have been a hit in it's own right. Also the selection "You and I" was re-recorded on the Monkees' 1996 30th Anniversary album "Justus". It was rearranged with an additional verse, and was better on "Justus". Still I felt it was a pretty decent album all things considered.
