Just For The Record Volume Three

Overview

Just For The Record Volume Three --- 1999

JUST FOR THE RECORD is a career-retrospective, created and assembled by Davy Jones with Johnny J. Blair. The 4-CD series provides an overview of his accomplishments in show business from 1960-94 (each volume was released separately on cassette and CD, then released in a limited edition box set). There is some overlap with his high-profile times in The Monkees, but most of the material emphasizes his theatre work and his solo career, including original music created and released especially for this project. VOLUME THREE (a 2 disc set) focuses on material from the 1970s-80s. It includes rare interviews, singles, rare studio recordings, alt-mixes from his CHRISTMAS JONES and INCREDIBLE albums, and a large helping of concert takes of his best-known Monkees titles. The concert footage comes from two tours of Japan Jones made in 1982-83, where he was experiencing a comeback (backed by the Japanese band, Ricky & The Revolvers). At time of release, this volume was the most exhaustive collection of fan-sought Jones rarities available. Jones (with Johnny J. Blair) continued this thread on his bandcamp page in 2011, commencing with the WILD PONIES series. The fidelity is uneven and the lack of comprehensive liner notes may exasperate some fans, but it's a good addition to the library of Jones/Monkees complete-ists and collectors.
