MICHAEL NESMITH Magnetic South, Original 1970 RCA LSP4371 in Factory Shrink and Near Mint Condition. One of the best copies I have ever seen! From a Private Collection. Satisfaction Guaranteed.
Magnetic South is the first solo album by American singer-songwriter Michael Nesmith during his post-Monkees career. Released by RCA Records in 1970, the album peaked at Number 143 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts and Number 49 in Canada. Magnetic South is considered an early example of country rock. A single, " Joanne/One Rose" was taken from the album and reached Number 21 on the Billboard singles charts and Number 6 on the Adult Contemporary charts, #5 on the Australian chart, and #4 in Canada. It was the highest position of Nesmith's solo career.
Nesmith formed the backing group "The First National Band" and gave them billing on both the cover and label of the record. Band member John London had previously played bass on several Monkees tracks and appeared as an extra on several episodes of the TV show, while Red Rhodes had played on a few 1969 Monkees tracks, notably "Steam Engine."
Five of the album's eleven tracks are from Nesmith's career with The Monkees. The first four tracks were recorded in 1968-69 for The Monkees, while "Hollywood" was also recorded in 1968 but first demoed by Nesmith for possible inclusion on The Monkees 1967 album Headquarters. Although at the time Nesmith was attempting to distance himself from The Monkees, he did, however, dedicate the album to Bert Schneider, David, Micky, and Peter (as well as to Lester Sill). Nesmith would not allude to or mention the Monkees by name again publicly until The Michael Nesmith Radio Special, nine years later.
RCA Victor producer Felton Jarvis was given production credit even though he did no actual production work — the credit was primarily a thanks to Jarvis for helping sign Nesmith and the First National Band to RCA Records. Jarvis was also the only person ever listed as producer of a Michael Nesmith album other than Nesmith himself.
