Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers – Beantown Gems

here is the info file from Dime

The Modern Lovers – Beantown Gems

No label black vinyl

Matrix TJ-1287-A/B

Info on the recording dates taken from the cover – with a grain of salt.

“Winters Get Hard…” is definitely from the “Living Room Demos” tape 1974.

To me, the record is in very good condition.

Only a few minor crackles removed with Audacity.

Lineage: Rega P3 With Ortofon Tango MovingCoil > Sony HA-T10 > McIntosh C40 Preamp > Tascam CD-RW 402 Recorder

CDRW ripped with EAC (secure mode), cut and indexed with CD Wave Editor >

Audacity > TLH Flac level 6, aligned on sector boundaries using fix.

Sorry, no scans. Here’s a link to what the bootleg looks like:
