Incredible Revisited is the fourth studio album by British singer/actor Davy Jones, formerly a member of The Monkees.

Background[]

In the mid to late 1980s, the Monkees made a successful comeback. New material entered the charts, whilst their back catalogue also sold well and, as a consequence, Jones thought this would be a perfect time to produce a new solo album.

Production[]

Tracks featuring on the album, and on later expanded re-issues, were recorded between February 1986 and July 1987 at Ardent/Memphis Tennessee, Globe Studio/Sydney, Australia, Longview Farm/N. Brookfield, Massachusetts, Luxury Audio Workshop in Las Vegas Nevada, and at the Record Plant in New York.

It was produced and arranged under the supervision of Jones, and co-produced by Mark Clarke, Joe Hardy and Robert Merrill. Engineering was by Tim Bomba, Bobby Cohen, Joe Henehan, Lee Watters, and Mark Weisinger.

Musicians on the recording other than Jones included Mark Clarke, members of The Grass Roots, and members of The Monkees' touring band.

Reception[]

The album sold poorly, possibly as a result of poor advertising. In an interview Jones stated that “I just plain didn’t care to put that much energy into promoting. Perhaps I should have. I just saw it as something to do for personal enjoyment and for the fans. Lord knows I spent enough money producing it. But the 80s were so busy for us. A lot of good things were set aside. My mind was on performing in 41,000 seat stadiums and having Monkees records all over the Top 40.”[1]

Original release and reissues[]

In total, Incredible Revisited was released four times under three different titles: "Incredible Revisited", "Incredible", and "Incredible Too!", which had an Alternate Track List.

Availability[]

Due to poor initial sales, original copies became difficult to find; however in 2010, Jones' bandcamp site posted the album.

Album cover[]

The album cover[2] was a parody of a Jim Morrison photograph.[3] The age of Jones in the picture suggests it was taken sometime between 1971 and 1986. Incredible's album cover featured Jones with long hair pointing to his right at the word "Incredible".
