Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart

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.

DJBH: The Guys Who Wrote 'Em & The Guys Who Sung 'Em.......2006-01-29

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!

Hey Capitol, Where's the master?.......2006-01-26

I happen to be a fan of the majority of this album on vinyl. This CD sounds like a copy from a poor cassette. Like others found on Ebay. There has yet to be a Capitol Records master tape release on CD. Unusual for Cherry Red Records! I have their Boyce & Hart collection "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonite" and all but 2 of their Runaways releases and the all sound great.

Lousy re-issue.......2005-12-07

The music on this album pretty good. However this CD issue is terrible. They used a vinyl record to remaster it (lame), and not only is the front cover completely different than the cover to the original LP, but this new cover looks shoddy and poorly designed. Too bad.

Serious remastering needed!.......2005-10-03

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.

Error in Song Listing.......2005-09-29

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.

Didn't live up to legend.......2006-10-06

Back when this originally was issued, it was an expensive and rare album to come by. I'd never heard it, but being quite the Monkees fan, I was anxious to hear it, and felt sorry I didn't go see them when the toured the US. Once the CD finally came out 20 years later, I realized (as happens more often than not) I didn't miss a thing. As has been stated, the album is horribly recorded - I've heard better audience tapes! The performance is pathetic. These guys should have been ASHAMED at their performance. It's no wonder the project didn't continue. It was an abomination, and an insult to the great original work they did together. A lot of times, the legend of a recording is more exciting than the recording itself. This is a prime example. Unless you can get it for free, don't bother with this one.

THIS IS NOT THE MONKEES IN MY BOOK AND YOU WILL NOT LIKE THE WAY

THATS GREAT!!

The first Monkees reunion.......2004-02-29

Two of the Monkees join with their 2 former writers and producers to form a new and maybe better group. About 10 years after the show ended the public wanted the Monkees back. They toured, of all places, dinner theaters in America and stadiums in Japan. This CD was recorded in Japan. They sing many of the popular tunes they preformed and wrote in the 60's. This is a very good CD for being done live. If sales go up on this CD maybe it will convince Capitol to re-release the only album on CD this group ever did. A very fine album called...what else "Dolenz, Jones, Boyce and Hart" So please buy this cd. If you work for Capitol then please re-release the above mentioned album.

Attempted Monkees revival a mild success.......2002-08-10

The original DOLENZ, JONES, BOYCE AND HART album released on Capitol Records in 1976 is a vastly underrated pop album. Why it has never seen proper re-release is beyond me, especially when Rhino Records has released almost everything Monkees related. "I Remember the Feeling" is one of the best Monkees side-project songs...with vastly underrated pop singer Micky Dolenz belting out the lyrics like nobody else can.

This is the live album from this very same era, recorded in 1976 in Japan. It's an enjoyable affair, and the quality of the songs are high, including Boyce and Hart's biggest hit, "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight?" and the Dolenz/Jones original, "Savin' My Love For You." Of course it's also hard to go wrong with Monkees pop classics "Pleasant Valley Sunday," "Last Train to Clarksville," "Cuddly Toy," and "Steppin' Stone." The backing band is tight (including ex-Paul Revere Raider Keith Allison on guitar), and the arrangments are pretty much true to form. Davy Jones doesn't sound quite up to snuff vocally, but it is not a major detraction. The medleys, however, were a mistake...they cheapen the memory of the original songs. "Daydream Believer" as part of a medley? What were they thinking?

Overall, this disc is a good remembrance of this part of Monkees history, with liner notes (and some great DJBH-era photos) by Monkees historian Andrew Sandoval to boot. These performances do not best the actual Monkees revival concerts of the '80s and '90s, but is an enjoyable listen nonetheless. However, this live album would be easily trumped by the official release of the actual DOLENZ, JONES, BOYCE AND HART album.

IF YOU ARE A MONKEES FAN(LIKE ME)GET THIS CD.......2002-07-05

-"DOLENZ, JONES, BOYCE, AND HART CONCERT IN JAPAN"-
COOL!, I JUST BOUGHT THIS CD YESTERDAY AND I LOVE IT!. IT'S NOT A RHINO RE-RELEASE, BUT IT'S A GOOD RECORD. MY TWO FAVORITE TRACKS ARE THE TWO MEDLEY TRACKS. I THINK IF YOU ARE A MONKEES' FAN, OR LIKE ME A MONKEES' FAN/HISTORIAN... YOU SHOULD BUY THIS CD.

I WAS GLAD THAT IT WAS [less] WHERE I BOUGHT IT.

REMEMBER, THIS IS MICKY DOLENZ(MONKEES' DRUMMER), DAVY JONES(OF THE MONKEES), TOMMY BOYCE(1 OF MONKEES' WRITTERS), AND BOBBY HART(ANOTHER MONKEES' WRITTER)
