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!

SALESMAN Re-Mix!

Here's a fresh new take on this deep album cut! The song has been lengthened, with extra guitar effects, drums, bass, background vocals, and Mike's censored (and controversial) dialog re-added at the end!

Hear (and see) it right 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....

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!

WORDS Re-Mix!


What DIDN’T I do to this mix? I used a “wide-stereo” version of the LP song, then added an extra instrumental break. The bass is double-tracked, even triple-tracked at the end, as well as some of the Eddie Ho drumming.... Add a few bits from the “TV version” of the tune (not much would really fit, due to the differing tempos-it may deserve it’s OWN re-mix!), and some backwards-masking...Extra percussion and such here and there...I also did some lengthening on the ending..It now comes in over 4 minutes! A very psychedlic tune!



FOR PETE'S SAKE Re-Mix!


This was lots of fun. Taking the vocals-less backing track from the HEADQUARTERS DELUXE CD set, I looped the song twice, then dropped in the vocals here and there throughout. I also added some sound bites from the “Devil and Peter Tork” episode at the front and ending to give it a great feel.





MARY, MARY Re-Mix!


This was a real no-brainer! I always wanted to lengthen that great drum intro, and stretch the song a bit, so here it is! Tons of neat little effects on this one!





RANDY SCOUSE GIT Re-Mix!


Once again, I used the vocal-less track from the Rhino HEADQUARTERS 4-Cd set, and then brought in vocals from the usual tracks...I also added elements from the early run-thrus, which was difficult, as they all had slightly different tempos!





PLEASANT VALLEY SUNDAY Re-Mix!


This is probably the most successful of the re-mixes. it involves the vocal-less karoke track, then bringing in the “usual” track with Micky’s fabulous vocals, but adjusting them to sound more laid-back and ethereal. I also brought in the many different endings to create a wild climax, with added drums and bass!

NO TIME Re-Mix!

This is more than just a welding of the many different run-throughs of this song from HEADQUARTERS. Bridging effects were added, elements from other sessions brought in and out, etc. So much came from the Rhino Handmade HQ box set. Lots of fun all the way on this all-Monkees (with some Chip Douglas bass) rave-up!





DAILY NIGHTLY Re-Mix!

Here, I took a mono version of the basic track, pre-vocals and Moog effects....added some extra bass, and a few small effects then layered in Micky’s vocals and Moog bits from various sources overtop. I was even able to incorporate portions of the rare mono mix of the finished song, as some effects are different from the stereo LP version of that track. Enjoy!
