Repressing. UK CD edition of the 1976 studio album from this quartet featuring former Monkees members Mickey Dolenz and Davy Jones. Almost immediately after the demise of The Monkees in 1970, there was industry clamor for a reunion. In 1975, a kind of pseudo-Monkees was created enlisting the services of Dolenz and Jones plus gifted songwriting team Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart (perhaps best known for penning the first #1 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. El.

Boyce and Heart could have been members of the Monkees. Boyce and Heart wrote a large number of the songs on the Monkees first two albums. Boyce and Heart did hit it big in 1967, with "Out and About" and "I wonder What She's Doing Tonight". This is an interesting album if you look at it from the fact at that point in time, all four were trying to distance them selfs from the Monkees. If you are a true Monkees fan and open to something a little different and fun, this is the album for you.

Several years after the 1970 demise of The Monkees, two former members of that group, namely Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones, teamed up with songwriters/fellow recording artists Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart (who had written several songs for the Monkees, including the smash #1 first Monkees single, "Last Train To Clarksville") for a successful American tour, under the name of Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart. (They couldn't legally use the "Monkees" moniker.) As a result of the success of that tour, the outfit also scored a contract with Capitol, for whom they recorded an album that took nearly 30 years to see "official" CD release. One possible reason that the album had not previously appeared on an "official" CD is because it was not a commercial success upon its original release in '76. The two singles released by the group, "I Remember The Feeling"/"You And I" and "I Love You"/"Savin' My Love For You," were likewise flops. This lack of success with records was strange and ironic (they were good records!) given DJBH's "in-person" popularity, which was the reason they got the chance to record in the first place. (The album was out-sold, also rather ironically, by that skimpy Monkees Greatest Hits compilation on Arista.) As recording artists, DJBH deserved better, and I do think it's unfortunate that the album's first and so far only "legitimate" CD appearance is from vinyl. Just WHY it's from vinyl, I don't know, but to me it's better than nothing.
As for the sound quality of this CD: For a CD mastered from vinyl, I think it sounds pretty good, really. Based on certain other reviews, I kind of expected worse. It doesn't sound perfect, but I still find it very listenable. I noticed what seem to be some slight "hiccups" here and there, but they weren't bad. If there's any pops, clicks, hiss, or anything like that, it isn't enough for my admittedly non-audiophile ears to detect. If you want GREAT sound quality, this CD may not be for you. But if you're not really picky, I think it'll probably sound O.K. to you.
As for the actual album itself: The cover of the CD (which strangely doesn't use the original artwork but a curious, sort of comical "part-illustration" of the group members, or rather, just their heads, in a biplane) says "the first Monkees reunion," and while I don't think that DJBH actually intended to be seen as a "version" of the Monkees, this is still a really good album in my opinion --- stronger than most of the Monkees albums (although I am a Monkees fan). However, Davy Jones, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart all kind of take a backseat to Micky Dolenz, who dominates the album. (He takes or shares the lead on most of the album's 12 tracks.) Micky does an admirable job (he was arguably the strongest vocalist in the Monkees), but I personally would have liked to hear more of Davy, who is my favorite Monkee. (It would also have been cool if Boyce and Hart had been featured more as well.) I think Davy makes his strongest showing on "I Remember The Feeling," which is one of the best tracks on the album. He also sings the lead on the album opener, "Right Now," which is the most romantic song on the album. (Probably not a coincidence, given his "heartthrob" rep.) I'd say the other best songs are "I Love You," "Teenager In Love," "Sail On Sailor" (which features lead vocal turns by Davy, Boyce, and Hart, and which, incidentally, shares a title with a Beach Boys song from about three years earlier), "Savin' My Love For You," and "It Always Hurts Most In The Morning." (By the way, the back cover of this CD, as well as the booklet, erroneously read "More" instead of "Most.") In '96, the once-again re-formed Monkees (featuring all of the original members) re-did "You And I." In my opinion, the remake is the superior version, though the original isn't bad. I think "Moonfire," "You Didn't Feel That Way Last Night," and "Sweet Heart Attack" are kind of interesting. (Personally, I think that one other review gets "Sweet Heart Attack" wrong --- my interpretation of the meaning of the song is "Falling in love was like having a heart attack, but it was a GOOD 'heart attack' that I don't want to recover from" --- but I really don't want to argue; take the song however you will!) At first, I didn't care so much for the cover of the Coasters song "Along Came Jones," but it's actually grown on me! I've come to kind of like the levity! (I can still see, though, how that song isn't everyone's cup of tea!) That track also recalls the Monkees' previous ventures into Coasters/Leiber-Stoller territory, "D.W. Washburn" (which was actually a Top 20 hit for the Monkees) and "Shake 'Em Up" (although the Monkees' version of that song wasn't originally released).
It would be cool if this album was reissued on CD again from the original masters, if they still exist and haven't been lost or misplaced. But for now at least, this is what we have, and in my opinion, it's definitely better than not having the album on a "legit" CD at all. That's part of why I'm rating this CD four stars instead of just three.
Update: Unfortunately, this CD has become quite expensive, even "used." I guess it's now out of print. If you can't and/or don't want to spend a lot of money for this CD, I wish you a lot of luck, or fortune, finding it for much cheaper, at least here. Maybe if we're ALL fortunate, we will, before much longer, see the album on CD again, perhaps domestically --- and NOT from vinyl!

While I like this better than the last "official" Monkees album "Changes" it isn't a fully satisfying album. While some of the songs are decent some of the songs are cringe worthy. Teenager in Love. Really? Along Came Jones? Please. The whole album sounds like it was rushed. Still if you are a Monkees fan there are songs you'll like & of course a completest will find this album, along with DJB&Hs Live In Japan album, a necessity. If you're not a Monkees fanatic you would probably be better served by staying away from this, opting for a greatest hits package or one of the first 4 albums instead. Recommended for completests only.

As a Monkees collector, I was excited to see that this was finally available on CD. I had never heard the album until I bought this CD. The album itself is interesting and very good, as far as a poor-charting Monkees release goes. The problem here is the sound quality. God awful. I recorded Davy Jone's 1971 Bell album from vinyl to CD-R, and my remastering of that album actually sounds better than the quality of this CD. What is a collector to do? Right now, this is the only version on CD and you are stuck with it. Don't get your hopes up if you buy this.

I was a huge Monkee fan growing up and when Micky and Davy hooked up with Boyce and Hart I had some doubts about how good this album would be....but my friends and I back in the day when it first came out bought it and loved every song on it! It's been years since I even seen where this album went and I have been thinking about these songs for a few weeks now so I just had to go on line and purchase this CD! I can't wait for it to come in and play it at home or in my car and sing along with these great songs! They bring back such great memories of hanging with my friends and having good times! Love Micky Dolenz and always will! Met him for the first time at a show I went to recently in Phoenix and was thrilled! Glad to see he is still doing what he loves and what I love listening too! MJ :)

I ended loving this CD more than I thought I would. this is an amazing album and the vocals are great. Micky and Davy does great on You and I, their version of along came Jones is great and funny too and they do a awesome job on teenager in love. If you're a fan of the Monkees you would like this album. great addition to your collection :)

i bought this as a monkees fan - i have recently been buying all the albums on cd.i am rather underwhelmed by this album.the production is punchless and wishy washy - when boyce or hart sing , it doesn't sound reminicent of the monkees at all.there is a real essence of the monkees sound missing from the vast majority of this album.the version of "you and i" is so lacking in imagination,that i am glad they re-visited it on the justus album.i don't know why they bothered with "teenager in love".micky sounds half asleep,while davy's voice has already started it's alarming decline in quality.
in fact D J B + H is in my opinion inferior to every other monkees album with the possible exeption of "pool it".even that album had a couple of good songs like "don't be bring me down" and "heart and soul" on it.
one for monkees completists only.

A Cheapo cash-in. The Cover Art says it all. It is far worse than any Monkees album including the embarassing 80's and 90's ones.
Honestly not one good track - I love the Monkees and needed it for completeness but I found myself skipping tracks after a 30 secs of so. I certainly won't play any of it again.
