Description

Up for auction is a very clean copy of the rare debut album "The Modern Lovers" featuring Jonathan Richman, originally released on Beserkley Records (JBZ 0050) in 1976.  This is a guaranteed, original first U.S. pressing, not a cheap reissue or import like most for sale on eBay.  Comes with original yellow Beserkley paper inner sleeve in beautiful condition.  No UPC/bar code on back cover.

Not a Rhino Records reissue, like most for sale on eBay!

Cover is in very nice condition, with only a few signs of previous wear or handling.  Most copies have serious ring wear and rubbing loss to the matte finish cover--not this one, which shows a nice solid black cover, almost no signs of rubbing loss.  Only flaws are a couple light creases on top and bottom seams near opening, but they aren't too obvious (see photo).  Seams are strong, intact, no splits, only a small amount of rub.  Corners are sharp, not bumped, with only a small amount of rub on a couple.  Little rub spot near bottom on back.  Otherwise, one of the nicest examples of this original cover you'll find.  Very well-preserved and attractive.  Grade the cover Excellent Plus (EX+).

Vinyl is in beautiful condition, no real signs of previous handling or play.  Disc retains its original high gloss shine and luster.  No obvious scratches, no scuffs, no extraneous marks to speak of.  Very clean.  Labels are clean.  Looks like the record has been played a couple times at most--very well cared for and preserved.  Hard to find a nicer, cleaner copy.  Grade the vinyl Near Mint (NM).

100% satisfaction guaranteed, no risk buying.  My 100% positive feedback on rare albums allows you to buy with confidence.  This is the only original U.S. copy of this album on eBay at the time of posting!  Super rare.
