About Complete First National Band Recordings

Complete First National Band Recordings (or simply Complete) is a compilation album by Michael Nesmith, released in 1993. It contains the three albums Nesmith recorded with the First National Band in 1970 and 1971 on a two-CD set. Magnetic South (minus "First National Rag") and Loose Salute are on the first CD, while Nevada Fighter is on the second CD. Magnetic South was previously reissued in 1999 as 16 Original Classics with five bonus tracks. It was also reissued with Loose Salute on CD by BMG International in 2000. Both albums were remastered for this release. Complete does not include remastered tracks. Despite being billed as the complete recordings of the First National Band, the 2-disc set does not include "First National Rag" from Magnetic South, "First National Dance" (a bonus track on Loose Salute) or "Rose City Chimes", the B-side to "Little Red Rider". more »
