Notes
The Original Tapes, Spring 1972, Previously Unreleased
© Modern Love Songs
First pressing on Mohawk Records with the song "I'm Straight", deleted on later releases. Some copies of the issue have the track listed on the sleeve but not on the album.
The later official release is on BOMP!
A-side runout has a 1 etched over the first 0, and the E looks more like a backwards 3
The Song "I Wanna Sleep In Your Arms" is only listed as "I Wanna Sleep".

Edited 4 years agoSo "I'm Straight" is only on the very first edition on Mohawk of this LP, yet the track is listed on the sleeve and label of all releases on Mohawk. So how the f... are you supposed to find the version with the song actually on it?!
I tried to have Jonathan Richman sign this record after a show. He refused and said it wasn't an official Modern Lovers release.
