Tantamount to Treason Volume 1  is the fourth solo album during Mike's post-Monkees career. Released in 1972, Tantamount To Treason is the only album Michael Nesmith recorded and released with the Second National Band. 

The band on this release is credited as the Second National Band—the only remaining members from the original  were Nesmith and . The Second National Band was filled out by Michael Cohen on keyboards (who had played on Nesmith's previous LP  and on some of Nesmith's Monkees sessions), big-band drummer Jack Ranelli, bassist Johnny Meeks (who had played lead guitar years before with ), and Puerto Rican conga player .

The album is celebrated by Nesmith fans for its trippy, almost psychedelic feel. "Lazy Lady" has delay effects and white noise; "You Are My One" features guitar phasing and a long solo section; "In the Afternoon" and "Highway 99" include sound effects. Even the country music standard "She Thinks I Still Care" features a phased steel guitar solo. Nesmith also does his own version of Bill Chadwick's "Talking to the Wall"

Vinyl has a little surface noise but is very good.  Cover wear shown in photos.
