Jonathan Richman – The Nugrape Compilation

nugrape

This webpage has a bunch of rare Jonathan Richman content that I’ve collected over the years.

I remember about 10 years ago I discovered that there was a seemingly infinite number of unique songs that were not on any of the albums. I was fasinated by the listings on Bob’s Nerdy Webpage, but I didn’t know how to hear any of those recordings since I had nothing to trade in return.

So, here, you’ll find a ton of unreleased and live recordings that I treasure and think deserve to be heard.

If you want to comment on any particular song, album, show, etc, (especially if you have any interesting information) visit jrrecordings.com, no login required… there are direct links next to each song on this site.

This website started in 2009, and the latest big cleanup was in October 2013 (also updated March 2014).

I’m always available for a trade, and I can be contacted at my gmail account: jonathandavidbrink
