Davy Jones Christmas album coming this holiday season (UPDATED X3)

11/5/2020

23 Comments

 
Davy Jones It's Christmas Time Once More
​In 1991, Davy Jones released the cassette tape It's Christmas Time Again. And now, almost thirty years later, the album has been given a contemporary treatment featuring Davy's original vocals, along with guest appearances by Micky Dolenz, Coco Dolenz, Henry Diltz, and Davy's singer/songwriter daughter Annabel Jones, all overseen by celebrated Monkees producer Chip Douglas.

Douglas was at the helm for The Monkees' two most acclaimed albums, Headquarters and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd., as well as some of their best single sides, including "Daydream Believer," "Goin' Down," "Pleasant Valley Sunday," "Words," and "The Girl I Knew Somewhere." He recently talked about the opportunity to revisit Davy's early '90s holiday collection. "This was a rare chance to remix and enhance these recordings by adding the lovely voice of Davy's daughter Annabel whose heartwarming vocals on 'White Christmas' and 'Silent Night' were well above and beyond my expectations," Douglas told Rolling Stone. "Micky and Coco Dolenz beautifully enhanced 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' and Henry Diltz, and other friends, added just the right gusto to 'Hark The Herald Angels Sing.'"

"Singing with my dad on this record was an extremely beautiful and healing experience," Annabel said in a statement. "What a gift to be able to share a moment like this!"

The Monkees delivered their first-ever holiday album, Christmas Party, via Rhino Records in 2018. That album featured posthumous contributions by Davy Jones, who passed away in 2012.

UPDATE 11/13/2020:

It's Christmas Time Once More is now available to download on iTunes and stream on Apple Music, Amazon, and Spotify.

People has just published an interview with Annabel Jones where she speaks about singing with her father and much more.

Rolling Stone is also covering the release of Davy's Christmas album.

UPDATE 11/23/2020:
The Associated Press included Davy's Christmas album in a laundry list of reviews spotlighting current holiday releases:
Get ready to get in the holiday mood with Carrie Underwood, Dolly Parton, Goo Goo Dolls, Jamie Cullum, Davy Jones, Keedron Bryant, Leslie Odom, Jr. and more

UPDATE 12/5/2020: It's Christmas Time Once More is now available to purchase on compact disc from the official Davy Jones Shop.

Is it too late to mention that they misspelled "Rudolph"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_the_Red-Nosed_Reindeer_(song)

So, this stuff is getting released for the THIRD time.

First as "It's Christmas Time Again" and then as "Christmas Jones"

I wonder what these mixes will sound like.

Awesome! I can't wait. I love Davy's singing, and I've never owned one of his Christmas albums, though I like his songs Mele Kalikimaka and Silver Bells on Christmas Party.

Has anyone heard of this will see a physical media release (CD or LP)?

So is this only going to be available digitally? Or is a physical release forthcoming?

I hope they have plans to give this a physical release. Keeping fans in the dark like this is no bueno.

...what fans don't understand is that pressing and distributing a physical release is a pretty expensive proposition -- especially with a niche product like this. Breaking even is a dicey proposition. That said, if you'd like to fund the mastering, manufacture, and distribution of this project, leave your email address in the comments. You have a 15% chance of making your money back.

Keeping it digital only guarantees a 0% chance of getting any of my money. Have a nice day.

...that is your right, JJ. All we ask is that you understand why these kind of decisions are made and curb your rather toxic sense of entitlement.

Anyone happen to know exactly when in 1967 the Davy/Chip Douglas White Christmas demo was done? Was it around the time of the Headquarters sessions or later in the year when they were recording PACJ?

Totally agree about the costs for producing a niche product like this. That is why I find the “Run Out Groove” model intriguing. Open a window and say that orders are only offered during this limited time.

We ARE.a niche group, so creative mechanisms to determine demand are welcome.

I would sell it digitally now, but team up with 7A for a the physical release .....

While I'd love to have a physical CD (and will buy one if it happens), I'm happy to support projects like this digitally. It's a rare treat to have an album like this released in any format, and well worth the small price. Thanks to Chip and all of those involved for sharing this treasure with the fans! Merry (early) Christmas!

To Chip and everyone else who had a hand in this album: While I would LOVE to have a physical copy of this album, I understand the challenges with that, and I am happy to have this in digital format—THANK YOU for your hard work to make this happen!

Shout our to Annabel Jones! Thank you for being instrumental in this. What a wonderful Christmas present for us all -- and on Spotify, thanks so much! God bless.

Listening to this album, I must say that Chip Douglas would be a good producer for any future "Monkees" projects, regardless of how unlikely any future Monkees projects would be. He does a fine job here. Kinda wish he would have produced the last Monkees Christmas album.
