- I've certainly had enough request for this gem so here it is. It was a mixing challenge but i think I get it just as I wanted it to sound. Hope you Monkee fans like it too!
Every Monday night my Grandmother and I would watch the Monkees. Because of them I can play every instrument on that show and sing and am THANKFUL.
Every generation should hear The Monkees. Nice enhancement. They may not have always played their own instruments, but they sure could sing.
Alot singers and stars nowadays get a lot praise and respect and don't play their own instruments or write their own songs
These guys were SO underrated! Another great remix. I'm subscribing!!!
I totally agree!
lmao how the fuck were they underrated? They were one of the highest selling bands of the 60s.
Fans of this 1966 classic should check out the YT video "Last Train To Clarksville by Louie Shelton." He's the original session guitarist on this Monkees mega-hit.
He made that bright guitar sound so real.
Hey, that's a great link. Thanks! th-cam.com/video/7L6Vin-5188/w-d-xo.html
These guys were a lot better than many people were ever willing to give them credit for. I miss them.
These guys are so awesome. Still love their music till today ❤❤❤❤
Your work is appreciated. Thank you again for ALL of these.
This is by far the best mix version of this classic. Great job! Goes without saying this is my favorite Monkees song.
GREAT song! Still sound perfect 50 years later.
I can't remember the name of the genre in classical music but it means the music evokes images and with sounds creates a likeness of the real world. This may be the best example of it in a pop context where the sounds of trains are embedded in the music from the high harmonies imitating a train whistle to the snare capturing the chug of a locomotive giving the music its drive etc.
This song was a reference to the train to Clarksville, Tennessee, which was a departure point for GI's on their way to Vietnam. This said, in a way.it is a protest song about the American involvement in that theatre...listen to the words...
"and I don't know if I'm ever comin' home"... 57,000 didn't....
Yep. And who said the Monkeys weren't socially relevant.! 😎
This is awesome..Wht a great up beat , sing a long.
Who thts older didnt look 4ward 2 watching this show? Yes...
I hear the love and effort you put in Kenn. Thanks again.
I really didn't want to work on this Monkee song for one reason. My 12 string acoustic is so out of tune it was giving me a major migraine. What I had to do was tune it to a perfect G, play all the parts, Tune it to a perfect C7, play all the parts,then tune it to a perfect D and play all the parts, then play it back and
that is what you hear on TH-cam. There was no other way to do it. Kenn
Interesting to hear the technical backstory. Maybe on one of your next enhancements you can show some stills of how you did it with the instruments / music. Or maybe just a brief montage of your set up to the sound of some brief music (a video just for your setup). Only do this if you feel 100% comfortable with it.
Their breakthrough release in the fall of 1966-A certifiable classic!
Now that I'm learning to mix, I listen for everything. You've managed to minimize that slightly off-beat jarring cymbal crash. You've made a great song even better! As a mixer I appreciate your great work and I know how difficult things like that are without the original tracks.
The slightly off-beat jarring cymbal crash is there to replicate the steam released by a locomotive. It's important to the song.
@@biglongcadillac Next time I listen, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
Question about the song, how would you go about getting rid of the rhythmic sound ssst in each verse, unfortunately its very annoying.
another masterpiece ... many thanks... please keep going..
I loved this song so much when I first heard it it rocked Micky, Davy, Mike and Peter who could ask for more?🤘✌️
Tommy and Bobby:Write this song about Vietnam
Kids in 1966: This song slaps
A little anti-war song with a catchy tune. The Wrecking Crew members played it perfectly, and the Monkees voices, especially Mickey Dolenz, kicked butt.
The Wrecking Crew weren't involved in recording the song. Boyce and Hart's band, Candy Store Prophets, performed the instrumental session work on the recording. Their lineup included Boyce, Wayne Erwin and the Ventures' Gerry McGee on guitar, Hart on keyboards, Larry Taylor on bass guitar, Billy Lewis on drums and Gene Estes on percussion. The lead guitar parts were done by Louis Shelton on a Fender Telecaster.
@@amb2745 There is a youtube recording of Louis Shelton playing his Clarksville solo and he spoke briefly about it. I don't recall he said anything about candy store prophets. Louis Shelton was a member of the Wrecking Crew. Watch the solo here: th-cam.com/video/7L6Vin-5188/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
Well done. Now all you have to do is all the rest of the Monkees songs you haven't done. hahaha You can finish them in a couple weeks, right? hahahahaha
Yeah that is a long range project. The problem with doing these songs is that I don't get anything else done. It's so time consuming. When I retire in July I'd like to do a few every week till I get most of them done. I just love the Monkee songs and they are such fun to work on and there are still lot I haven't done.
Kenn
Well at least you have a retirement plan. So many people that retire
love the first few months then they get bored and eventually just rot
away. If you keep busy doing these then that will never happen to you. Btw, what was it you wanted to enhance further with Sweet Young Thing as you mentioned in the original post description?
I would love to hear I'm not your stepping stone......when you get to it......thanks
LIKE the Beatles, many of the Monkee's hit singles had GRRREAT guitar licks that just grabbed you from start to finish! Terrific mid sixties R&R
(THERE'S A CLARKESVILLE MARYLAND JUST OUTSIDE WASHINGTON DC, NEAR COLUMBIA MARYLAND) !!
But did it have GIs getting ready to be shipped out to Vietnam?
Wow !!!! Cracking job.
CD if you think you are going to cheat death with that name you are kidding yourself. This is good recording.
I love the sound quality!!! Thanks!!! 😊
Lyrics:
Take the last train to Clarksville
And I’ll meet you at the station
You can be here by four-thirty
‘Cause I made your reservation
Don’t be slow
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
‘Cause I’m leaving in the morning
And I must see you again
We’ll have one more night together
Till the morning brings my train
And I must go
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
And I don’t know if I’m ever coming home
Take the last train to Clarksville
I’ll be waiting at the station
We’ll have time for coffee-flavored kisses
And a bit of conversation
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Take the last train to Clarksville
And I must hang up the phone
I can’t hear you in this noisy railroad station
All alone I’m feeling low
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
And I don’t know if I’m ever coming home
Take the last train to Clarksville
And I’ll meet you at the station
You can be here by four-thirty
‘Cause I made your reservation
Don’t be slow
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
And I don’t know if I’m ever coming home
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
Take the last train to Clarksville
I really love this song love it 💙💚💗💜💘❤💑👌😻✌
Louie Shelton on guitar.
TUESDAY 8/13/24 ENJOY !

Awesome Job On a Awesome Song….!
Thank You Sir…
Wonderful Boyce & Hart composition .....
A GREAT fan of the Monkees! My brother used to make fun of me for liking them, not a real band. But I didn't care great music!
My first thought was "don't mess with this one", but low and behold...magic!

I always liked the production of this song. You made it better.
Do you have an enhanced version of Circle Sky (Live) from the Monkees movie Head? I like the Live version.
Enhance "Let's Dance On" - add that missing bass part! Always wanted to do that myself for years! ;)
I dedicate this track to my very dear friend Miss Tracy Ritter-Meinders who loved the Monkees TV show as a kid! Her favorite Monkee is Micky Dolenz- ‘cause he was the drummer! Tracy, you have good taste- your sisters too!💕XO
So happy that I stumbled upon your work. Awesome to hear this music again for the first time. You've done a good thing here, sir. Thanks.
Very nice job.
TAKE THE LAST TRAIINNNEE TO CLARKSVILLE!!!

Jimi Hendrix referred to their music as dishwater.
Jimi was drinking the dishwater.
