Incredible Revisited is the fourth studio album by British singer/actor Davy Jones, a member of The Monkees.
In the mid to late 1980s, The Monkees made a successful comeback. New material entered the charts, and their back catalogue also sold well; as a consequence, Jones decided to produce a new solo album.
The tracks on the album, and those featured on later expanded reissues, were recorded between February 1986 and July 1987 at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee; Globe Studio in Sydney, Australia; Longview Farm in North Brookfield, Massachusetts; Luxury Audio Workshop in Las Vegas, Nevada; and the Record Plant in New York City.
It was produced and arranged under Jones' supervision, 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.
Besides Jones, musicians on the recording included Mark Clarke, members of The Grass Roots, and members of The Monkees' touring band.
Incredible's album cover, [1] a parody of a photograph of Jim Morrison, [2] featured a long-haired Jones, pointing to his right at the word "Incredible". Jones' age in the picture suggests it was taken sometime between 1971 and 1986.
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." [3]

Four singles were released from Incredible Revisited:
Three of these four singles have been reissued: "I'll Love You Forever" was reissued in 1986, "After Your Heart" was reissued in 1987, and "Don't Go" was reissued in 1989.
In total, Incredible Revisited was released four times under three different titles: Incredible Revisited, Incredible, and Incredible Too!, which had an alternate track list.
Due to poor initial sales, original copies became difficult to find; however in 2010, the album was released on Jones' Bandcamp site.

The Monkees were an American pop rock band formed in Los Angeles in the mid-1960s. The band consisted of Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork.

With international hits, four chart-topping albums and three chart-topping songs, they sold more than 75 million records worldwide.
Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. is the fourth album by the Monkees. It was released on November 6, 1967, during a period when the band exerted more control over their music and performed many of the instruments themselves. However, although the group had complete artistic control over the procceedings, they invited more outside contributions than on their previous album, Headquarters, and used session musicians to complement their sound. The album also featured one of the first uses of the Moog synthesizer in popular music. Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. sold over three million copies. It was the band's fourth consecutive album to reach No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200.

Combined, the first two Monkees albums were at the top of the Billboard chart for 31 consecutive weeks. More of the Monkees also went to No.1 in the UK. In the U.S. it has been certified quintuple platinum by the RIAA with sales of more than five million copies.

It also topped the UK charts in 1967. The Monkees has been certified quintuple platinum by the RIAA, with sales of over five million copies.
Changes is the ninth studio album by the Monkees. The album was issued after Michael Nesmith's exit from the band, leaving only Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones to fulfill the recording contract they had signed in the mid-1960s. Changes was their last new album for Colgems Records and the group's last album of all new material until Pool It!, released in 1987.
Pool It! is the tenth studio album by American pop rock band the Monkees, released in August 1987 by Rhino Records. It was the first Monkees studio album of new material since Changes in 1970 and the first Monkees album to feature Peter Tork since the 1968 Head soundtrack.
The Birds, the Bees & the Monkees is the fifth studio album by the Monkees, and their first album released after the cancellation of their TV show. Released in April 1968, it was the first Monkees album not to reach Billboard's number one, peaking at No. 3 on the U.S. charts. It was also their first album to miss the UK charts altogether, with their four previous efforts all having reached the top ten. The album has sold over a million copies.
Head is the sixth studio album by the Monkees, and the soundtrack to the film of the same name. Released in 1968, the album primarily consists of musique concrète pieces assembled from the film's dialogue. The six new songs encompass genres such as psychedelic music, lo-fi, acid rock and Broadway theatre.
Instant Replay is the seventh studio album by the Monkees. Issued 11 months after the cancellation of the group's NBC television series, it is also the first album released after Peter Tork left the group and the only album of the original nine studio albums that does not include any songs featured in the TV show.

The Monkees' discography spans over 50 years, from the release of their first single, "Last Train to Clarksville" in August 1966 to their final live album The Mike and Micky Show in April 2020. Their discography is complicated due to the large volume of unique releases in many international markets, the release of many recordings not credited to the Monkees for lack of rights to the trademark, and the existence of many bootleg, promotional, and novelty recordings that are beyond the scope of this article.
"Randy Scouse Git" is a song written by Micky Dolenz in 1967 and recorded by the Monkees. It was the first song written by Dolenz to be commercially released, and it became a number 2 hit in the UK where it was retitled "Alternate Title" after the record company (RCA) complained that the original title was actually somewhat "rude to British audience" and requested that The Monkees supply an alternate title. Dolenz took the song's title from a phrase he had heard spoken on an episode of the British television series Till Death Us Do Part, which he had watched while in England. The song also appeared on The Monkees TV series, on their album Headquarters, and on several "Greatest Hits" albums. Peter Tork said that it was one of his favorite Monkees tracks.
20th Anniversary Tour 1986 is a live album by the Monkees recorded during their 20th anniversary tour in 1986. To date, it is the only known complete concert recorded during this era. The recording was available at 1987 tour stops in double-LP and cassette formats, though a planned 1988 retail release by Rhino Records was ultimately scrapped. The record credited the artists as Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork to avoid paying royalties to Arista Records who owned the Monkees trademark at the time, though the band's logo is visible on the sleeve. A limited-edition CD was released in 1994 under the title Live! by the group's fan club in Nashville, and was sold at concerts during their 1996 tour.
