Music reviews of Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. (Deluxe Edition, 2CD)
Music Review: All the tracks from the previous edition plus the mono/stereo mixes
Rating: 4 Stars
After The Monkees made their seminal album as a band Headquarters (Deluxe Edition, 2 CD) they returned with a more experimental album influenced by "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", Love's "Forever Changes" and other albums happening at the time. "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd" is equally as strong as its predecessor although it lacks the large amount of previously unreleased songs (we do get a number of previously unavailable here and the available remixes/alternate mixes ported over from the previous edition), it's an important album for the group.
The album sounds terrific and features both the mono and stereo mixes of the album for the first time together on CD. Bill Inglot has done a fine job of remastering these and Andrew Sandoval's notes and production supervision is, as usual, top notch. If you own the previous edition, this might be worthwhile if you want the mono mixes and the previously unavailable alternate mixes of the album. This reissue isn't quite as essential in many respects as "Headquarters" (which had a mixture of previously unreleased takes as well as tracks from the "Missing Links" CDs assembled all in the first place for the first time with "Headquarters" where they belong). Some audiophiles may quibble with Inglot's mastering choices but overall, it's a fair representation of the album with a lot more detail than has been heard on CD before.
It features arguably one of the best songs they ever recorded by outside writers the brilliant Goffin-King "Pleasant Valley Sunday" which they arrange (producer Chip Douglas and Mike Nesmith came up with the infectious lick that opens the song inspired by songs like "Day Tripper" and "Satisfaction")brilliantly. The group, with the exception of a handful of songs, went back to bringing in session players to play on the sessions enabling them to finish the album in a timely fashion but also broadening the type of sounds on the album. Nevertheless THEY were in charge.
Nesmith contributes two songs the jazzy/nightclub sounding "Don't Call On Me" (written with bassist John London who played on many of their sessions) and "Daily Nightly" with Mickey singing lead vocals. The band revived the Boyce/Hart song "Words", covered soon-to-be rock star Harry Nilsson ("Without You", "The Coconut Song", "You're Breakin' My Heart")"Cuddly Toy" a song with an infectious melody and a darkly misogynistic lyric. Bill Martin and Chip Douglas' "The Door into Summer" and the Mann/Weill "Love is Only Sleeping" are marvelous showcases for Nesmith's vocals.
The next couple of albums would continue the experimental trend with the guys superivising the albums but still bringing in session players. Unfortunately, Chip Douglas (aka Douglas Farthing Hatlelid)would only produce one more track on their next album.
