In 1986, it was announced that The Monkees were coming back! To add even more excitement to the welcomed news, MTV aired a marathon of all The Monkees TV shows. In record time, new and reissued recordings, airplay, TV and retail support, and of course one of the most successful concert tours of all time, lasting over three years, truly brought the band back into the forefront of modern pop and rock music history.
After their whirlwind concert tours with The Monkees, Micky Dolenz released his first solo studio album called "Puts You To Sleep." The 1991 pop/rock lullaby album not only pleased his youngest fans, but it also ignited the soon to be lullaby rock album franchise at retail, making this one of the first breakthrough albums in the successful genre.
But grown- ups liked it too, as it featured some of the finest Dolenz interpretations of classic rock favorites from the likes of his friends with The Beatles' Black Bird, Fool On The Hill and Good Night, Nilsson's Remember, Neil Young's Sugar Mountain as well as a revisit to the Monkees' hit Porpoise Song.
Friday Music is very pleased to announce the 35th Anniversary of Micky Dolenz's classic with "Puts You To Sleep" on stunning clear blue vinyl.
Mastered from the Rhino recordings by long time Monkees friend and reissue producer Joe Reagoso (The Monkees/Davy Jones/Micky Dolenz) this wonderful album is also enhanced with a striking gatefold cover featuring original artwork elements and interview content with Micky as he revisits the making of this stellar album in the liner notes.
