As
an afterthought almost, I feel the need to include this record in this
listing of Monkees 45s in Australia, even though it is really a Davy Jones
solo record.
Although
this EP consists of songs recorded and released prior to the Monkees,
Astor Records in Australia capitalised on the success of the Monkees by
re-issuing this old material in various forms throughout 1967, going so
far as scoring two top ten singles with "Theme For A New Love"
and "Dream Girl".
This
EP collects those two hits and a third song from the "Davy Jones"
album (retitled from its original pre-Monkees "David Jones"
title and repackaged with a newer album cover photo, seen here on the
EP as well), and adds the non-album B-side "The Girl From Chelsea".
This
particular record still seems relatively easy to come across, so I assume
it must have sold well.
