Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart: 1976 The First Monkees Reunion, CD

Almost immediately after the demise of The Monkees in 1970, there was industry clamour for a reunion and publisher Christian Dewalden came forward with an offer to finance the project.

Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones were enthusiastic but as Mike Nesmith wasn t interested and Peter Tork couldn’t be found, a kind of pseudo-Monkees was created enlisting the services of gifted songwriting team of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, who had written The Monkees first number one Last Train To Clarksville , The Monkees Theme (Hey, Hey We re The Monkees) and (I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone. So Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart was born. With the Monkees logo under copyright and not available for their use, the foursome set off on tour as the great golden hits of the Monkees - the guys who wrote 'em and the guys who sang 'em.
