Peter Tork - Sire Records

A chance meeting with Sire Records executive Pat Horgan at the Bottom Line in New York City led to Tork recording a six-song demo, his first recording in many years. Recorded in summer 1980, it featured Tork, who sang, played rhythm guitar, keyboards, and banjo; Horgan produced the six tracks ,which included two Monkees covers, "Shades of Gray" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday", with George Dispigno as engineer. The four other tracks were "Good Looker," "Since You Went Away", which appeared on the Monkees 1987 album Pool It!, "Higher and Higher" and "Hi Hi Babe." Also present at the sessions were Joan Jett, Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, and Tommy Ramone of the Ramones. The tracks were recorded at Blue Horizon House, 165 West 74th Street, home of Sire Records, but Seymour Stein, president of Sire, rejected the demo, stating "there's nothing there." Tork recorded a second set of demos in New York City, but little is known about these, other than the fact that one track was a yet another version of "Pleasant Valley Sunday" with an unknown rock band, and featured a violin solo. During this time, Tork appeared regularly on The Uncle Floyd Show broadcast on U-68 out of New Jersey. Floyd claimed Tork was the "first real star" to appear on the show. In 1981, he released the single " Steppin' Stone" with "The New Monks". He also did some club performances and live television appearances, including taking part in a "Win A Date With Peter Tork" bit on Late Night with David Letterman in July 1982. Source: www.dooviee.com
