Davy Jones - Bell Records Story - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

7A Records is proud to present Davy Jones' InchIncredible!Inch. A deluxe reissue of Jones' InchlostInch '80s album, remastered and expanded with 7 bonus tracks. The CD comes with a big 36-page colour booklet, extensive liner notes from Monkees historian Mark Kleiner and rare and previously unseen pictures by photographers Henry Diltz and Michael G. Bush. Fuelled by MTV's re-runs of the original Monkees TV series, InchIncredible!Inch was recorded at the height of mid-'80s Monkees comeback-euphoria. Given the flurry of activity happening on multiple fronts for the Monkees throughout 1986, especially the gruelling demands of their touring schedule, the fact that Davy Jones managed to record a full album amid the chaos is somewhat staggering. InchIncredible!Inch features several songs that could well have reached the Billboard charts, had things played out differently. However, Jones decided to hang on to the album and it ended up being self-released on cassette on his own mail order tag. The minimalistic promotion and treatment of the original belie the considerable studio and artist firepower behind these recordings. This deluxe repackaging allows this chapter in Jones' fascinating journey to finally more fulsomely shine.

Limited 180gm transparent green colored vinyl LP pressing housed in gatefold jacket. 2024 . A lavish reissue of Davy Jones' self-titled album remastered with 6 bonus tracks. The vinyl version comes in a gatefold sleeve with extensive liner notes from Monkees historian Mark Kleiner and is pressed on 180g transparent green vinyl. This reissue gives fans the opportunity to reassess an album that was unfairly neglected by record buyers at the time of it's initial in the fall of 1971. Prior to entering the studio with producer Jackie Mills, Jones had recorded a batch of more somber and adult contemporary-sounding demos than the eventual Bell recordings of big band sunshine pop. While the latter played quite squarely into Jones' established image; the former suggested another path that may (or may not) have launched Jones into a more fecund musical and commercial direction. Who can say? At the end of the day, we have these recordings and their manifold (and for too long overlooked) pleasures to enjoy, a worthy entry in the broad category of early seventies sunshine pop and in the specific canon of Davy Jones and Monkees-related recordings. Whatever time your needle drops, here is primetime Davy Jones, singing like an angel, and pointing to a love that leads to joy for all mankind.
