Second edition of "Monkee Music" published

Andrew Hickey's Monkee Music, which examines The Monkees' catalog song by song, was originally published in 2011. A second edition of the book is now available. Andrew talked about the updated version and its new contents today on his blog:
My latest book is out — the revised and expanded second edition of Monkee Music. This is about twice as long as the original version and contains full essays on:

David Jones (1965 album)

All Mike and Micky’s pre-Monkees singles

The extra material on the deluxe and super deluxe editions of The Monkees, More of the Monkees, Instant Replay and the Monkees Present

The Dolenz, Jones, Boyce, and Hart album

The cast album to The Point!, starring Davy and Micky

and Good Times!

It also has shorter essays on the live albums or DVDs Summer 1967, Live Summer Tour, Concert in Japan, and Twentieth Anniversary Tour, as well as a round-up chapter looking at “Milkshake” (from Peter’s Stranger Things Have Happened album, featuring Mike and Micky) and the 1976 Christmas single.

On top of that, every essay that was already in there has been revised and updated, correcting things ranging from my understanding of why Pool It! ended up as it did to my persistent misspelling of Cynthia Weil’s surname, and expanding on what I’d said.

If you follow this books2read link you’ll be able to find it at your favourite digital store — and if you follow the Amazon link in that link you’ll find the paperback available there from tomorrow, too. Those of you who prefer hardbacks, there’s a hardback available at Lulu.com.

As Andrew writes, Monkee Music can be downloaded at Amazon and a hardback is for sale at Lulu. A paperback is also available through Amazon.

Co-author of "Long Title: Looking For The Good Times" speaks with the Monkees Live Almanac

12/28/2017

15 Comments

 
Michael A. Ventrella is the co-author of Long Title: Looking for the Good Times; Examining the Monkees Songs, One By One. The Monkees Live Almanac would like to thank Michael for taking the time to talk about his new book, which is now available online and in book stores.
Picture
How did you first become interested in The Monkees?

When other kids wanted to be astronauts or firemen, I wanted to be a Monkee. I was around 8 when the show first appeared, and that’s a very influential time for a kid.

The TV show made me interested in music, and I dreamed of being in a band and having wacky adventures. I taught myself to play guitar and piano, and as I grew, I started various bands (playing bass). When in college, I had a band where we rented a house near campus and practiced in the basement, so that was as close to being a Monkee as I will ever be. Sadly, we never had any wacky adventures.

I later got into lots of other music (I’m a huge Beatles fan) but I never stopped loving the Monkees' music.

I was always more into the music than the TV show, though – I’m not one of those fans who has seen every episode a hundred times.
 
What years have you seen The Monkees in concert? Was there a particular tour that you call your favorite?

I sadly never saw them when I was younger. I saw Peter at a small club in Boston in the '80s. Micky and Davy did a free concert at the World Trade Center in the '90s (on my birthday so that was special!), and then I saw and met Micky at a Beatles convention about ten years ago. The reunion concert with Mike was wonderful because it emphasized the music, and then I saw Micky on his concert tour last year.
 
How did the book come about?

My co-author Mark Arnold writes about popular culture. I was interested in his work and had interviewed him for my blog a while ago. (The blog is at www.MichaelAVentrella.com.)

Mark had written a book where he went through every single Beatles song (including from various bootlegs) and gave a short personal comment about each song. I said to him, “We should write one about the Monkees!” and he agreed.

Then we paused. There already was a book like that about the Monkees – Andrew Hickey’s Monkee Music.  And there was also Andrew Sandoval’s excellent Day-By-Day that had meticulous details about each song. So we decided against it.

Then I thought about it. I have half a dozen books where people go through the Beatles’ catalog and analyze their songs, so surely the Monkees could use another one.

We decided to do a book with a bit of both: We’d go through the songs and give some background information (the writer, which Monkees performed on the song, where it was first found, how well it did on the Billboard charts, interesting cover versions, etc.) as well as our personal comments about each song. A few people have complained that we didn’t give more trivia and details on every single song, but we didn’t want to copy Sandoval’s book or just cut-and-paste from Wikipedia.

By the way, Mark and I have never met – we live on opposite coasts. We did this book over Google Docs, talked about it through emails, and only spoke by phone a few weeks ago when we did a joint blog interview. Huzzah for the internet!

​How does your approach differ from your co-writer’s?

Mark is more interested in the details – he likes noting where the song first was found on record and commenting on the Monkees’ history and so on. He wanted every single song listed, including the jams that only appear on the special extended version collections like Headquarters Sessions.

I come at it from a musician/songwriter angle. I insisted that the book be organized by recording dates instead of by album, because I wanted to analyze how the music progressed and changed over time. So my comments are often more about how the song was written and performed – what worked, what didn’t.

We were both determined to give our opinions and not sugar-coat anything. Some Monkees music is amazing and wonderful and deserving of every compliment we can give it, and some just sucks and should never have seen the light of day.
 
What kinds of things are in the book?

We had a lot of fun putting this together. We started by interviewing some prominent musicians to give their comments about the Monkees, and highlights of those interviews are included in the book. I got to interview Tommy James, Gene Cornish, Dean Friedman, and talked Howard Kaylan into writing the introduction. Mark spoke to Ron Dante, Peter Noone, Butch Patrick, and others.

Mark then wrote a short bio of the group. I wrote an essay about the music in general. Mark then compiled a list of every performance the Monkees had done as well as a list of every TV appearance (other than the original show) and we included those. We both did essays about how we became interested in the Monkees and what they mean to us which helps explain the views we later give about the songs.

I then went through every Billboard chart and made a listing of where every song and album performed on the chart week by week as well as a countdown of how well each had done.

Pop culture historian Jerry Beck (a big Monkees fan who worked on the Criterion DVD release of Head) then wrote the forward.

On our web page (https://monkees.wordpress.com), we asked for comments about the songs, and we picked a few we liked and included them in the book as well.

We then tackled the songs, one by one, giving details and our opinions. We also discuss each of the albums in turn (except the various greatest hits collections).

And the whole thing is illustrated on almost every other page with album covers, concert pictures, and more.
 
How did you come up with the title?

Originally, we were calling it “Long Title: Good Clean Fun; An Examination of the Monkees’ Songs, One by One” which I really liked because it flowed better. Then we discovered someone had self-published a Monkees book called “Good Clean Fun.”

So we had to come up with a new name. We almost considered “Writing Wrongs” but then we chose “Looking for the Good Times” because it references not only that particular song but also the album Good Times! as well as the songs “Good Times” and “I Was There (And I’m Told I Had a Good Time)."

And, of course, “Long Title” is from Peter’s Head song “Long Title: Do I Have To Do This All Over Again?”  I’ve had to explain that to a few non-Monkees people who asked me why we stuck that on there.
 
In doing your research, did you come to appreciate a particular Monkees song more than what you might have in the past? And, on the other hand, did you realize you liked any particular song a little less after closer examination? 

I listened to “When Love Comes Knockin' (At Your Door)” with a bit more of an appreciation of how well written it is. It’s not one of their greatest, but there is a real talent behind it. I analyzed it a bit more than some of the other songs just to show how a songwriter approaches writing a song, and I hope readers can appreciate that.

I think some of the big hits became less impressive to me after listening in more detail for this book. “She” and “Mary, Mary” for instance really aren’t that good (especially compared to other Monkees hits). I think the fact that you always see these two on greatest hits collections probably says more about how often they were played on the show than anything else.

I think I started appreciating Mike’s songwriting ability more as I went through the catalog. I’m not much of a fan of his country stuff but I can’t deny it’s well-written.
​
A few readers have complained because they don’t like our opinions on one song or another. Well, of course -- Mark and I don’t agree on everything, so there’s no way readers will agree with us all the time! I think seeing us argue over certain songs makes the book a better read than if it had just been one person’s opinion.
Picture
Talk a little bit about the details in getting the book published. Was the publisher receptive from the start?

BearManor Media specializes in books about TV shows and old movies and such. They publish a lot of movie star bios and they’ve put out Mark’s books about Disney and Cracked magazine and cartoon studios and so on. He approached them and asked if they’d be willing to do a book about the Monkees but about their music instead of the TV show, and they were very enthusiastic, being Monkees fans. I think this is the first book they’ve done just about music.

They were wonderful, and more than patient with my many demands to make the book perfect. We went through quite a few edits and re-writes and redesigns.

And then there’s that great cover, drawn by Monkees fan and Emmy-Award winning artist Scott Shaw! He had worked with Rhino Records and had designed and drawn their Rhino mascot for years. In fact, he helped design two Monkees album covers for them!
​
So on his own, he decided to do a huge cover with characters from the TV show and Head and with references to the songs, too. (You can see Don Kirshner on the front cover holding up a contract while chewing bubble gum.) Part of the fun of the book for me is going through the cover and figuring out all the references. (There’s a list of them all in the back of the book if you want to cheat.)
Picture
​Where can we get the book?

It’s available anywhere. You can order it from Amazon or Barnes & Noble or ask your local bookseller to order it for you. However, BearManor Media usually has it at a discount, so you might try there first. It’s available in hard cover, paperback, or as an eBook.
 
Any plans for a sequel?

Our dream is that the Monkees do a follow-up to the excellent Good Times! album so we can do a new version!

Earlier this week, The Monkees Live Almanac reported about a new listing on Amazon for the long-awaited Monkees book by Gary Strobl, Henry Diltz, and Harvey Kubernik. Entitled The Monkees: From Reel to Real, the online retailer advertised a release date of September 18, 2017. The Live Almanac can now confirm that the book has been delayed to 2018. 

Sophie, a representative from Omnibus Press (the publisher of Reel to Real) was highly enthused about the project while also explaining the postponement. "We're thrilled to be publishing this title," she told the Live Almanac. "The pub date is actually being put back so we can incorporate some new material. It's likely to be delayed until September of next year, though we may publish in the spring. It's going to be a truly beautiful thing, so I hope you'll forgive the new date!"

Be sure to stay tuned to The Monkees Live Almanac for further updates.


UPDATE 6/12/2018: Monkees book "Reel to Real" experiences another publication delay

UPDATE 7/23/2019: The Live Almanac exchanged emails today with the Commercial Director of Omnibus Press who now informs the site that Reel to Real is now expected to be published in late 2020. "I'm afraid we still don’t have a publication date,  but we are getting closer!"

UPDATE 11/20/2020: The Live Almanac spoke today via email with the editor of Omnibus Press who relayed that work continues on the book but that a publication date is still to be determined.

Amazon lists "The Monkees: From Reel to Real" book for September release (UPDATED X4)

6/19/2017

​Gary Strobl is a lifelong Monkees fan and collector who has been compiling a book on The Monkees since 1983, conducting research and amassing numerous amounts of interviews through the years. Strobl, in collaboration with noted rock and Monkees photographer Henry Diltz, and journalist Harvey Kubernik, announced in May 2013 that a deal had been signed to publish their work. And now, it looks like Gary and company's long-awaited book on The Monkees will become a reality!

Amazon now shows a listing for The Monkees: From Reel to Real from Omnibus Press, with a release date of September 18, 2017.  The online retailer provides the following description for the 496 page hardcover book:
In 1965 America launched its assault on The Beatles - a blueprint boy band called The Monkees who against all the odds triumphed with their music, their personalities and their zany half-hour TV shows. The quartet of Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith spent three years in a blazing spotlight before disintegrating into a mess of recriminations and ill-feeling. With contributions from all the major players in the Monkees' saga - including the four Monkees themselves - Reel To Real is an oral history of the group that follows their adventures through to their eventual split. Along the way we learn how they came together, the background to their movie Head! and the financial chaos that loomed with the realization that the only ones who didn't make any money out of The Monkees were The Monkees themselves.
Thank you very much to Dan McKenzine for giving the heads-up to the Live Almanac about the Amazon listing. Stay tuned for more details!

Davy's 1987 autobiography highlighted on special episode of "Headquarters"

5/13/2017

4 Comments

 
Picture
This episode of Headquarters is centered around Davy Jones and his 1987 autobiography, They Made a Monkee Out of Me. The special, hosted by Paris Stachtiaris and John Di Maio, begins with a multi-part interview with Alan Green, who assisted Davy in the publication of the book (as well as 1992's Mutant Monkees Meet The Masters of the Multimedia Manipulation Machine!). Green was also a member of Toast, the late '70s/early '80s group that backed Davy on the road during that period. Green talks about his relationship with Davy and the genesis of their partnership, Basil Foster, and recalls Toast on tour. From there Paris and John speak with Davy about the book, his experiences on Broadway, The Monkees' fallout with MTV, Pool It!, the making of the "Every Step of the Way" video, 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee, his 1988 solo album Incredible, Don Kirshner, Colpix Records, Head, and much, much more. 

Please note that I've misplaced the opening of this episode of Headquarters which is why the program begins right away with Alan Green's interview. And, sprinkled throughout you'll hear two tracks from Incredible, "After Your Heart" and "Hippy Hippy Shake," along with "Rainbows" (written and recorded with Chip Douglas), as well as audio from Davy's late 1965 appearance on Ben Casey.
