Micheal Nesmith - The Prison: A Book with a Soundtrack

Apparently there was some remixing / tinkering done by MN for the digital release but I don't know how different my CD is from the 1974 vinyl release. Still have the record but gonna hafta wait until I buy a turntable to find out.

An unlikely pairing:

The version I have:

Opening Theme (Life, The Unsuspecting Captive)
Dance Between The Raindrops
Ellusive Ragings
Waking Mystery
Hear Me Calling?
Marie's Theme
Closing Theme (Lampost)

Forgot to say that mine is the "remix" version. I don't believe there's a difference.

AC/DC - Powerage
Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic
The Association Along Comes the Association

I have the 1990 remix (...didn't know there was a 2004 one too...) but here's a review on Amazon that speaks towards the difference(s) between the vinyl and subsequent digital release.

"I bought the album when it first came out. WOW. it is meditative and laid back. the storybook is VERY DEEP. and then... out comes the cd. the remastering is TOP NOTCH. but... and here it comes... mike removed almost ALL the effects. the MAJOR example : on MARIE'S THEME the line HIDDEN BEHIND ALL THE LOGIC ONE FINDS WITHOUT TRUTH : on the album it was ROW... ROW... ROW YOUR BOAT-ED. it was HIDDEN BEHIND ALL THE... HIDDEN BEHIND ALL THE... etc. on the cd there is NO ECHOING... just repeated the complete line over and over with NO OVERLAPING. I WAS BUMMED. and there are other examples throughout. it is like he took an album that WAS RAW... and smoothed all the edges. that is why I took a star away. anyone hearing the cd for the FIRST TIME would give it 5 STARS. YES : IT'S THAT GOOD."

Although I've listened to both the vinyl AND CD numerous times, because it was close to 20 years between formats / listens, I totally forgot about the "echoing". But, I didn't necessarily miss it either. Let's put it this way, iffin' I hadn't read the Wikipedia page, I would never have known that Mike tinkered with the mix. Sometimes better to be a mushroom....
