One of the most influential albums in underground rock history, The Modern Lovers captures the raw, emotional energy of a young Jonathan Richman and his band before punk even had a name. Originally recorded in the early 1970s with producer John Cale (of Velvet Underground), the album wasn't released until 1976 — but its stripped-down sound and sincere lyrics became a blueprint for punk, new wave, and indie rock.

This Radiation Reissues edition faithfully brings back that proto-punk magic with a high-quality vinyl pressing, perfect for longtime fans and new listeners alike.
