Color Of Vinyl Subject To Change Without Notice / Call To Confirm Colored Copies Are Still Available
After the 1970 release of Changes, The Monkees disbanded quietly after one of the most incredible recording and television careers ever imagined.
In 1986, it was announced that The Monkees were coming back! During their whirlwind 1987 concert season, Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones and Peter Tork released their first studio album in over sixteen years called Pool It! The '80s pop/rock-infused album not only did good business at radio and retail, but it was also a home run with the newly created video channels like Nickelodeon, who voted the first single "Heart and Soul" number one on their show Nick Rocks, which also featured one of Micky Dolenz's finest vocal deliveries in years.
A fantastic second single soon followed with Ian Hunter's "Every Step of the Way" featuring the late, great Davy Jones. Davy's supercharged performance was exceptional on this tune, which was also turned into an equally hip video during their promotion and tour around this fantastic new album.
More great Monkees fare like "Midnight" with its Eric Clapton-like guitar fills and "Don't Bring Me Down," both featuring Micky Dolenz doing his classic mix of R&B/rock vibes seamlessly, these tracks were truly highlights on this fine 1987 album. Davy Jones has equal share of greatness here with his work on "Long Way Home" and the great crowd-pleasing ballad "(I'll) Love You Forever." The late Peter Tork hits a high note with his rocker "Gettin' In" and delivers a solid performance on the quirky "Since You Went Away."
Mastered from the original Rhino recordings by Joe Reagoso, this edition is enhanced with a gatefold cover with the original album art elements.
