Davy Jones Bell Records Story (Green)

7A Records is proud to present Davy Jones "The Bell Records Story". 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 release 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. 180g Transparent Green Vinyl. Gatefold sleeve. Remastered With 6 Bonus Tracks.
