Justus was released in late 1996 and was recorded and produced by all four members of The Monkees. Via their Facebook page, Friday Music will release what they are calling a deluxe Justus CD/DVD package. No further details as of right now as to what bonus tracks will be included or what the content of the DVD will include. Friday Music had previously announced a vinyl release of Justus for this summer. Add Comment Courtesy of this website, here's the recent Rolling Stone article on Davy. Click on each image to enlarge it for easier reading or check it out online here.     I posted some new pictures in the following sections: 1968 Far East (a picture of the Japanese tour book as well as one of Mike and Davy onstage in Australia), DJBH (including some rare pictures of Micky and Davy performing together after the disbanding of DJBH), 1997 North American (added a picture of the tour program) 2001 North American (a great picture of Davy onstage in Atlantic City at the bottom of the page) and the 2011 World Tour (a picture of the trio underneath the tour summary). Keep an eye out on the site's YouTube channel (see the link to the right). I'll be uploading more video shortly... I just found this video on YouTube that was recently uploaded (I believe by former Monkees backing band keyboard player Dave Alexander) that shows The Monkees rehearsing "You and I" at Wembley Arena in 1997 during the Justus tour. The audio appears out of sync, but it's definitely interesting footage and something I haven't seen previously. The deluxe edition will feature two bonus tracks. Peter's own "MGBGT" was recorded live on the '86 tour and was the b-side to "Heart and Soul." The single remix of "Every Step of the Way" is the second bonus track. (Where's the live version of "I'll Love You Forever," which was the b-side to "Every Step of the Way"?) Also included in the deluxe edition for the first time on DVD is Rhino's Heart and Soul videography from 1988. You can pre-order at Amazon here.

Friday Music has announced an April 24, 2012 release date for the CD. I'm guessing that it will be available via iTunes as well. A deluxe edition of The Monkees' 1987 album Pool It! was thought be released by Friday Music on March 27 but is now going to be released on April 24 as well. Their original announcement read like this: Friday Music will be issuing the original compact disc with bonus tracks, plus a separate DVD of the super rare Monkees Rhino Video HEART & SOUL- The Official Monkees Videography. The liner notes also feature a recent conversation with Micky Dolenz, as well as the usual cool rare picture sleeves, 45 rpm labels, and other cool photos and elements from the original 1987 release. I recently posted some new videos to the website's YouTube channel, including The Monkees performing on The Tonight Show in 1996. Check them out here. Check out a new video posted of The Monkees arriving in London in 1967 for the British portion of their tour that year here. The 1968 Far East Tour section has a new picture of the band arriving in Tokyo for the Japanese shows that year, and the DJBH section has a new photograph of the quartet. Here's a video I recently uploaded to YouTube of Davy on the Today show in 1984: |
