Notes
This is for the 1st pressings, with HH-1910 catalog number on cover and labels, and with "16 track demo for Warner Brothers 1971" printed on back covers.
The 2nd pressings come with BZ-0050 catalog number, and are without the WB credit on back: The Modern Lovers - The Modern Lovers
All runouts are etched. Strike-through parts of runout variants 1 and 2 are crossed out with Xs. Variant 3 is likely the same in this regard, with the erroneous catalog number (HH-1901..) etched underneath the Xs as well.

Some years ago, Ugly Things printed a '100 Records That Were Punk Before Punk' or similar. Included was a supposed Warner Bros test pressing of the Modern Lovers, dated 1975. Anyone know anything about this? I think the same article featured talk about a Japanese pressing of Fun House that was supposed to feature different takes/mixes, but this has been discredited. So was the writer (one J Kugelberg) pulling our collective, collector-obsessive legs? Or do these elusive items actually exist? I'm sure there won't be anything on either (if they aren't imaginary) that we haven't heard by now, I'm just curious ...

Years ahead of their time! They weren't ready for this stuff in 1972. It took some years for the old world to catch up with them. They were the new world. Taking this one with me to the desert island. -
Edited 2 years agoNever ever get tired of this album! Pablo Picasso is the greatest song in rock history! Punk before there was punk! Definitely ahead of their time!!!!!!

Hello, Can anyone recommend a pressing? I've read sketchy things about the 4 Men With Beards pressing, but wasn't sure if one of other pressings stood out. Thanks! -
In 1984 I was 16 and the singer in a (crappy)punk band. We covered “Road Runner” because the Sex Pistols did on Swindle and we could figure out the chords. None of us had heard the original, I thought it was cool that they had Stop and Shop and a 128 in the UK. Hey, there was no internet and I was kinda dumb
Oh and I lived in Massachusetts too (Newton)
I eventually heard the original and wanted a copy. I found one at Nuggets in Kenmore Square, but it was $10!! At the time that was the most money I ever spent on a used record. I’m glad I bought it

Everybody knows Jerry Harrison later ed Talking Heads, but who knew that David Robinson later ed The Cars? -
Totally a seminal rock record, even more impressive when you realise that the are essentially 1971 songs, produced in the studio with wizard genius John Cale in early 1972, going unreleased for 4 years! Way ahead of its time, if you place it in its true time context. An all-time favourite.
