Description
Michael Nesmith – From A Radio Engine To The Photon Wing UK Pressing • Island / Pacific Arts • ILPS 9486 • A2/B2 Matrices • JONZ / EG Runout • Original Inner Sleeve Why this record matters Michael Nesmith is one of those artists whose records are loved on two levels at once: by collectors who know just how deep his post-Monkees catalogue goes, and by listeners who simply want a beautifully written, atmospheric album that opens up properly on vinyl.
From A Radio Engine To The Photon Wing has that unmistakable Nesmith character — spacious arrangements, poetic writing, strong melodic flow, and a sound that sits somewhere between country rock, cosmic Americana and thoughtful late-70s studio craft. It is an album people often discover late, then keep returning to.
This particular UK copy is made more appealing by the matrix details: A2 / B2 with additional JONZ / EG runout etchings. That does not make it a fantasy-level grail, but it is absolutely the kind of pressing detail serious buyers notice and appreciate. A clean, honest early UK copy of a respected Michael Nesmith title is always a strong thing to offer. Pressing details Artist: Michael Nesmith
