The Michael Nesmith Radio Special
In 1980, Pacific Arts issued "The Michael Nesmith Radio Special" to promote Nesmith's album Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma. Because Infinite Rider was originally designed as a multimedia project, the radio special was designed to increase awareness of Nesmith's audio-visual productions, as well as promote the album.
The radio special comprises segments of an interview with Nesmith intercut with tracks from Infinite Rider. Within the interview, Nesmith discusses The Monkees. The discussion of his (then-)former band was the first acknowledgement Nesmith made since his 1970 album, Magnetic South.
As with many of Nesmith's compositions, the title of his songs were often indefinite. When he recorded the "Radio Special", Nesmith had yet to finalize the names for Infinite Rider and the alternate track names are listed along with the interview.
Currently, the only copies of "The Michael Nesmith Radio Special" are available on LP (Pacific Arts #PAC7-1300), which limited and very hard to find.

Famous quotes containing the words michael, radio and/or special:
“Locked in each human skull is a little world all its own.”

“The radio ... goes on early in the morning and is listened to at all hours of the day, until nine, ten and often eleven o’clock in the evening. This is certainly a sign that the grown-ups have infinite patience, but it also means that the power of absorption of their brains is pretty limited, with exceptions, of course—I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. One or two news bulletins would be ample per day! But the old geese, well—I’ve said my piece!”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
“A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
