 Recording has yet to begin and they haven’t even picked out the exact songs yet, but the record will be produced by Nez’s son Christian Nesmith with Monkee manager/historian Andrew Sandoval tackling A&R duties. The British label 7a, which specializes in Monkee-related albums, is releasing it. “They made me an offer I couldn’t refuse,” Dolenz says, slipping into a Marlon Brando accent. “They’re a nice, little company that really do good work. They do their homework and do these real nice packages.”

It would be great if they could include a version of the unrecorded song ‘Don’t Cry Now’. An instrumental version was released on The Wichita Train Whistle Sings but a version with vocals has never been released to my knowledge.

I would prefer it to be a cover of Nesmith songs that still haven't been released. He recorded some during his time with the Monkees that never got a lead vocal. Give me those :)

This is the obvious way to go, do an Everly-Monkees album... Mike & Micky Show already laid the groundwork, get the FNB Redux or the Touring musicians in the studio, and create something like a whole album worth of Me & Magdelana / BOAH tier songs.

Do you really think anyone’s going to coax 2-3 new songs out Nez anymore, let alone TEN??

Well, Nez hasn't written a really good - great song since... Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma? Tropical Campfires had some good material on it, but wasn't that mostly covers?

It's great to see these guys continue find opportunities to bolster the soundtracks of fans' lives. How about an "unplugged" CD with Mike and Micky on guitar? Are you up to the challenge 7a?

I was thinking the same thing... Mike and Micky on guitar... possibly augmented by the Nesmith boys instrumentally and Coco vocally - family affair!

I thought of the Nesmith sons, but I didn't think of Coco. Great suggestion.

This is going to sound harsh (yea, I know why post it - right?). While I think it's a great idea (I'd buy Micky singing is favorite zip codes), it is a great idea to hep both secure fund$ from not being able to tour. Micky earn$ his performer royalitie$, Nez from being the $ongwriter, Andrew from hi$ producer credits, Chri$tian from being a musician/arranger. I'd love to have the folks at 7a reach out to us to suggest some titles.

This sounds like it could be fun, but the big question is, WILL MICKY TAKE OFF THE FEDORA? Maybe trade it for a Stetson?

Here s a idea why not have nes sings some of Dolenz songs then it would be the monkees sing the monkees or maybe six song each (NEW) AND AS ,I.VE SAID BEFORE WHY NO USE MIKE VIDEO RANCH

At this point Monkees fans should simply be grateful for getting new content in 2020-2021, really. Every person is going to (understandably) have a suggestion or feeling for what they *should* do- well, they're nearing 80, they're not gonna do it so just accept this.

Didn’t Micky say that they had 50-60 songs still in the vault? Why not release Missing Links 4 and 5?
