Monkees single, I knew it!!

[Phil Adams]

Heard a song on radio 2 a couple of times this week and I'd have sworn it was XTC. You bring the Summer appears to be a new single by the Monkees, and Andy Partridge appears on the writing credits.
It's got AP written all over it, even down to the snare. Not quite XTC, but better than nowt.

See watcha meen.

Good god....you're not wrong !

Doesn't sound like Monkeys, though to me.

But, I guess it never will.

The Monkees aren't The Monkees without Davy Jones

It was the Nes that made it for me.

Oh dear.... wonder who thought THAT was a good idea?

Still,m hopefully Andy P will make some money from the Banana Splits generation buying this....

I suppose the next one will be a new Archies Ell Pee.

Interesting. Not captivating though.

What a great pop song.

What the Beatles would have written 50 years ago.

Various tracks I've heard via YouTube means the album's on my purchase list. Great to hear them again, not quite the same without Davy, but still the Monkees. Cheered me up to hear them. (My beloved cat was put to sleep at the weekend.)

I wonder if it has Carol Kaye on bass - or was it Joe Osborne on the originals?!! US sessions people anyway.
