2008 digitally remastered and remixed edition of Nesmith"s groundbreaking album comes packaged with CD sized book, both housed in a slipcase. In 1974 Nesmith broke entirely new ground by issuing this "book with a soundtrack". The idea is simply to read the book whilst listening to the record, both elements complementing the other. Michael has revised the text of the story and for this release has also completely remixed and remastered the album from the original multi-track tapes. As a listening experience it is now quite different from the original 1974 album release. As a member of the first-ever manufactured group, Michael Nesmith needs little introduction. Aside from his ground-breaking projects in the field of music video and film production, he has enjoyed a solo career since he left the Monkees that has encompassed many styles of music, but has always been supported by his wonderful songwriting.
