Artist:	RICHMAN & THE MODERN LOVERS, JONATHAN
Title:	The Best Of Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers
Label:	EARMARK (ITALY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$29.00
Catalog #:	EAR 42028LP

"Jonathan Richman has often been called the missing link between the Velvets and punk, and while this may apply to his first album, 1976's Modern Lovers, it is hard to make that same statement about his later work, which is more like the missing link between punk rock and Sesame Street. Children's songs like 'I'm A Little Airplane' and 'Ice Cream Man' make up an unsettlingly large part of his repertoire, but they are also paradoxically some of his greatest moments -- and not often found on compilations, which is why this collection is so important. These 20 tracks were compiled from Richman's Beserkely period and originally appeared on 1976's seminal Modern Lovers, 1977's Rock & Roll With The Modern Lovers, Live and Richman's first solo effort, 1979's Back In Your Life."

Title:	Back in Your Life
Label:	EARMARK (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	EAR 42036LP

"Released in 1979, though ready by mid-1978, this album is for some listeners the last by the Modern Lovers, while for others it is the first in Richman's solo career. Credited to Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers and originally published by Beserkley, Back In Your Life is an enjoyable collection by the always sharp and cleverly humorous folk pop performer from Beantown. Despite being issued after the emotionally disastrous 1978 UK tour which abruptly ended the Modern Lovers, it features several anarcho-pop gems in the band's best style. This reissue contains 4 extra tracks that were originally released as B-sides for singles or on collections that Beserkley advanced to awaiting fans."

Title:	Rock 'N' Roll with The Modern Lovers
Label:	EARMARK (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	EAR 42039LP

"Originally released in 1977 on Beserkley, R'n'R With The Modern Loverscontinues the witty parable of the folksinger that had begun just a year and two albums earlier. This time Richman shows his 'ethnic' side through hints of Japanese music, reggae and calypso re-interpretations without abandoning however his classic 100% New England irony found in tracks like his unmistakable masterpiece 'Dodge Veg-O-Matic', here also included as an extended version bonus track."
