The Pacific Arts Box;

2012 five disc (four CDs + NTSC/Region 0 DVD) collection. 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. The albums contained in this box were originally released on Nesmith's own Pacific Arts' label in 1977, 1979 and 1992, and have been digitally re-mastered by Nesmith from the original multi-track tapes. The booklet features extensive and revealing annotation by Nez himself. Amongst the many stand-out songs featured across the four albums are the Top 30 UK hit 'Rio', 'Magic', 'Laugh Kills Lonesome' and fabulous live versions of 'Different Drum', 'Silver Moon', 'Papa Gene's Blues', 'Propinquity', 'Some of Shelly's Blues' and 'Joanne'. The five promo videos on the bonus DVD appeared in the Grammy Award winning Elephant Parts, although the film for Rio was originally made to promote the UK single release.
