                                                            Notes:

                                                            Recordings by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers

                                                            Richman’s band The Modern Lovers first recorded

                                                            “Roadrunner” with producer John Cale (previously of the

                                                            Velvet Underground) in 1972. This version was first released as

                                                            single and in 1976 on The Modern Lovers' long-delayed but

                                                            highly acclaimed debut album (originally Home of the Hits

                                                            HH019).

                                                            Later in 1972, the group recorded two more versions with Kim

                                                            Fowley, which were released in 1981 on the album, The Original

                                                            Modern Lovers (Bomp BLP 4021). A live version from 1973 was

                                                            also later officially released on the album, Live At Longbranch

                                                            Saloon.

                                                            Thanks for Bidding! GOOD LUCK! No Reserve!

GRADING

SS (Still Sealed): Album is still sealed in ORIGINAL factory shrink wrap, it is unopened, record and sleeve should be near mint.

M (Mint): Cover shows no signs of wear or rings, shrink wrap removed, but record never played, perfection. We seldom use this grade.

M- / NM (Near Mint): Cover shows very minor signs of wear, no creases, no rings or split seams, the record can have a few scuffs or tiny light scratches, but it plays perfectly with no surface noise, the label is clean and unmarked.

VG++ / EX (Excellent): Cover shows slight ring, corner creases or edge wear, no wrinkles, puckers or seam splits, no writing on cover. Disc should have 6 or less fine scratches or scuffs , may have writing on label, and should play with hardly any surface noise. The condition of this vinyl is excellent. No skips!

VG+ (Very Good Plus): Cover is clean and will have SOME of the following flaws: writing, creases, frayed corners, edge wear, stains, ring, split seams, but NOT all of these to retain this grade. If too many flaws, it gets downgraded to VG. The disc will typcially have scratches and scuffs, good lustre and can have writing on label, but not deep scratches/scuffs that significantly affect audio quality, there should not be any skips. If we detect a deep scratch it is normal we play-grade through the scratch, to ensure we are not selling vinyl that has a skip.

VG,G,F (Very Good, Good, Fair): You will only see this grade for the cover or disc (not both!), when one part of the item in question is in VG+ or better condition and especially collectible. The majority of our vinyl has VG+ or better grade. Flaws will be noted with the grade.
