Title:	The Modern Lovers
Label:	4 MEN WITH BEARDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	4M 523LP

2012 repress. 180 gram vinyl. "Originally released on the Beserkley label in 1976 (though most of the material was recorded in 1973), The Modern Lovers is a universally accepted proto-punk classic. It's an album that bridges the gap between The Velvet Underground, a band whom leader Jonathan Richman was obsessed with, and the first wave of punk rock. While also displaying the goofy wit that would later be Richman's signature, The Modern Lovers is equal parts geeky, emotional, angst driven, life affirming, and, from start to finish, absolutely brilliant."

"This hit-laden set, recorded in April 1972 at Berkeley's legendary Longbranch Saloon, captures the Modern Lovers as they so expertly walk that fine line between genius and disaster. One of the few existing live recordings of the band in their heyday, this rare recording captures the live energy of Richman & co. as they churn through all their 'hits.' Also includes a cover of the then unreleased Velvet Underground track, 'Foggy Notion'." 180 gram vinyl.
