LOVE TO LOVE Re-Mix!

Here's a new take on this fave Monkees rocker! The song has been lengthened, with added bass, drums, tambourine, percussion, and background vocals, using only the original 60s cut! One of Davy Jones' best!

Take a listen here!

LITTLE BIT ME, LITTLE BIT YOU Re-Mix!

Here is a great recent re-mix of this fabulous Monkees pop hit! The song has been stretched, with added delicious chunky bass layered on top! Plus--guitar bits, hand-claps, vibrato, maracas, backing sounds, and more! You've never heard this pop gem quite like this....

Hear (and see) it right here!

THIS JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO BE MY DAY Re-Mix!

Here is my latest! Using the pristine 1966 backing track from Rhino's recent MONKEES debut LP box set, I set to work extending the song, adding extra bass, backing vocals, percussion, fuzz guitar effects, etc…Then layered in Davy's vocals, and….Enjoy!

I'M A BELIEVER Re-Mix!

I was drumming along with the song, practicing, and then ideas for this re-mix came to mind...
 Anyway, I began by using the vocal-less early run-thru track of the song, extending the ending, adding another bridge, then layering in Micky's vocals (in the left channel) from his early unused take... I then added extra bass, drums (both snare fills and bass in the right channel), cymbals, vocals and harmonizing, electric guitar, cowbell, vibraslap, effects... It all ended up sounding like a big chunky and funky rave! Enjoy!

TAKE A GIANT STEP! Live 1/1967 Re-MIx!

Most fans own the much-circulated tape of the Monkees live show from January, 1967, recorded at the Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, Arizona (yes, the same live show that can be seen in the "Monkees on Tour" TV show episode that ends their first season). This concert features the usual tunes that the band performed live then, but also contains cuts of rare live takes of PAPA GENE'S BLUES, SHE'S SO FAR OUT, and GIANT STEP! The problem is, the recordings somehow lack the vocals, having been only miked for instruments! Here is my re-mix of GIANT STEP, with Micky's vocals added from the LP version of the song (with extra effects added to help create an authentic "live"sound)! I also added some additional drumming, and an overall stereo effect throughout, to create a sonic artifact of how this great tune probably sounded live during that early '67 tour jaunt! Enjoy!

(THROUGH THE) LOOKING GLASS Re-Mix!

This fun re-mix started with a fan-circulated "out-of-phase" vocal-less base version of the song! I layered back in Micky's vocals, using the recently-released "fuzz-tone guitar" take of the song, from the INSTANT REPLAY deluxe set from Rhino! I wanted to add the fuzz guitar to only ONE channel, over the basic original backing! I enhanced the fuzz effects here an there, with added cymbals, drums, percussion, vocal backing effects, and bass! You'll also hear portions of other versions and takes of the song, as released over the years! I also lengthened the tune, adding various effects and bits at the fade-out, going for a thick, chunky garage band power-pop sound!

APPLES, PEACHES, BANANAS & PEARS Re-Mix!

Here is the originally unreleased (tho it's now been over 20 years since Rhino Records featured it on the first “Missing Links” CD-and it WAS used on the original ’66 MONKEES TV run) early tune, but with some changes. I took the master backing track, and added in Micky’s great vocals on the right channel, along with some maraca, tambourine and woodblock sounds...Some more layered effects to bring up the psychedelia factor,  added bass, lengthening, and away we go! I love those opening and closing guitars! WARNING: Just listen once and you’ll never get this tune out of your head! Enjoy!
