Description
Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers' 1986 vinyl album "It's Time For" on Rough Trade - code ROUGH 92.
It is personally signed on the front cover by Jonathan Richman himself, plus Andy Paley (who plays guitar on the album) and also by Brennan Totten, who was also in 'The Modern Lovers' at the time.
Please see the detailed images of the signatures. Richman has signed just below the album title and Paley under that. Brennan Totten's signature is more difficult to read as it's in a darker area, but I have tried to get an image of it. he has signed "John, THANKS Brennan Totten"
The vinyl itself is in excellent (perhaps even near-mint) condition with no marks or scratches. I'm not sure it's ever been actually played.
The cover is also in excellent condition with no folds or tears. The signatures are well preserved (in blue biro).
Please note that I am not a dealer or a record collector. The items I am selling are all from the extensive collection of my late brother.
He was a great music and radio enthusiast, working for both BBC and commercial radio stations in the East Midlands from 1980 until 2013 presenting various music shows, mostly folk and rock.
During this period he interviewed many bands and artists in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester and usually had them sign copies of the albums they were promoting at the time. He was also sent many promotional, DJ-only and white-label pressings direct from the record companies.
He would have interviewed Jonathan Richman while working at Radio Trent in Nottingham.
Sadly my brother passed away in November 2013, so I am slowly disposing of his extensive record collection. He had no family of his own, so according to his wishes we have opened a trust account to help his nephew and two nieces through university, and the proceeds from these sales will be paid into that account.
I will be listing quite a few similar items over the coming months, as there are original signed albums by artists ranging from The Ramones to Bryan Ferry and Sandy Denny, plus some rarities and DJ-only promotional copies.
All vinyl will be sent in special secure mailers with stiffeners.
Thank you.
