 Radio Special" to promote Nesmith's album Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma

Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma

Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma is Michael Nesmith's ninth post-Monkees studio album and the third studio album from his own company, Pacific Arts. To continue developing Pacific Arts' multimedia projects, Nesmith originally developed the album as a "video album"...

. 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.

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.
