The Modern Lovers – s/t lp

Glorieuze debuutplaat van (Jonathan Richman and ) The Modern Lovers. Geproduceerd door John Cale, opgenomen voor de grote punkgolf van de jaren ’70 aan. Top 10 aller tijden en een must have wat ons betreft.
Met de hit Roadrunner maar de rest is minstens zo goed, zo niet beter.
‘This is the eponymous debut studio album by the American Rock band The Modern Lovers, originally released in 1976. Six tracks (“Roadrunner”, “Astral Plane”, “Old World”, “Pablo Picasso”, “She Cracked” and “Someone I Care About”) were produced by John Cale. They influenced numerous aspiring punk rock musicians on both sides of the Atlantic, including the Sex Pistols, whose early cover of “Roadrunner” was placed on The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle.’
