Autographed Agency Rider Contract Document: Hand-Signed by Davy Jones (The Monkees)
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of 1960s pop-rock television history, bubblegum pop music lore, and entertainment industry legal ephemera: an official American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) Agency Rider contract page, hand-signed on the execution line by iconic teen idol and lead vocalist for The Monkees, Davy Jones.
As the magnetic English frontman of The Monkees, Davy Jones (1945–2012) captured the hearts of millions of fans across the globe during the mid-to-late 1960s. Formed for NBC’s Emmy Award-winning television series The Monkees (1966–1968), the group achieved massive commercial dominance, out-selling both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined in 1967 with classic #1 singles including "I'm a Believer," "Daydream Believer," and "A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You." Jones's career continued across television, stage productions, and solo recording ventures over four decades.
Printed on standard 8.5" x 11" document paper stock, this official printed document represents a formal AFTRA Rider to be Attached to AFTRA Exclusive Agency Contract Covering Phonograph Records (Rider B). The clause explicitly incorporates phonograph record services into the artist's overarching agency representation terms under AFTRA labor guild provisions.
Centered across the printed line designated for "Artist's Initials", Davy Jones has rendered a full, sweeping signature in vibrant blue ballpoint ink ("Davy Thomas Jones").
Accompanied by an official Certificate of Authenticity document from Archives of History (Fallbrook, CA), dated March 10, 2000, and signed by Eileen Delaney, guaranteeing the genuine status of the autograph for the life of the piece.
Preserved in fine vintage condition on clean off-white document paper, featuring clear black printed union clauses, filing punch holes at the top margin, light natural age toning, and a bright blue ink signature, this autographed document serves as an essential centerpiece for Monkees archivists, 1960s pop music collectors, and vintage entertainment contract displays.
