Dolenz Jones Boyce and Hart

The names of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart have long been inextricably linked with that of The Monkees.  The duo penned many of the band's most familiar songs including "(Theme From) 'The Monkees,'" "I Wanna Be Free," "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone," "Valleri," and the chart-topping "Last Train to Clarksville."  So when promoters were seeking a Monkees reunion in the mid-1970s, and with Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork unavailable, it's unsurprising that Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz turned to Boyce

Monkees Day By Day DE Slipcase

Since its publication in 2005, author Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story has been an indispensable reference tool for fans of Davy, Micky, Peter, and Michael - not to mention one helluva read.  But as the years passed, the guide to all things Monkees went out of print, with secondhand copies fetching in the three-figure range.  Happily, Sandoval has returned to the book for a completely new edition due this June.  We were thrilled to have the chance to speak with the author

Davy Jones Live in Japan

Everyone's familiar with the initial wave of Monkeemania that swept America in the 1960s, not to mention the second wave spurred on by MTV's reruns of The Monkees' classic sitcom in the 1980s. But 7a Records - that tireless label dedicated to all things Monkee - has trained a well-deserved spotlight upon a lesser-known chapter of the Monkees phenomenon. The time was 1981 and the place was Japan. The late Davy Jones seized upon the popularity of a Kodak commercial there featuring "Daydream

Davy Jones Live in Japan

7a Records is heading to Davy Jones' locker...or more accurately, his vault, as the label has announced its most extensive project yet.  The late Monkee's Live in Japan is a remarkable and comprehensive collection of both of Jones' officially released (and long-unavailable) Japanese concert albums in their best sound yet, plus numerous singles and rarities from the early 1980s.  The set, due on August 2 in two formats, paints a vivid portrait of Jones' solo work during the period prior to The

Davy Jones Rainbows

Though it's been over six years since his untimely passing at the age of 66, the music of Davy Jones still endures.  7a Records, the U.K.-based label devoted to all things Monkees-related, has just delivered another treat for longtime fans of the band and its charismatic, perennially boyish singer with the mop top.  "Rainbows" b/w "You Don't Have to Be a Country Boy to Sing a Country Song" is a limited edition (500 units) 7-inch, 45 RPM single pressed on red vinyl. Both sides of the single
