Up for auction is a rare copy of the self-titled album "Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers" originally released on Beserkley Records (BZ-0048) in 1976.  This is a guaranteed, authentic first U.S. pressing, not a cheap reissue or import like most for sale on eBay.  No UPC/bar code on back of cover.
Cover is in very good condition, still very presentable.  Some light ring wear on top and bottom middle of front and back cover.  Top and bottom seams are strong, not split with some rubbing.  Spine shows a separation in the middle with some chipping loss (see photo).  Corners are good, though upper left is bumped.  Grade the cover Very Good Plus (VG+).
Vinyl is in very nice condition, with few signs of previous play or handling.  Still retains its original glossy shine.  No obvious scratches or scuffs.  Shows some faint, superficial signs of having been taken in and out of paper inner sleeve a few times, but nothing that would affect quality of playback.  Labels are clean, no marks around spindle holes, indicating little previous play.  Very clean, looks like it's been played only a few times--and looks very well taken care of.  Grade the vinyl Near Mint Minus (NM-).
100% satisfaction guaranteed, no risk buying.  My 100% positive feedback allows you to buy with confidence.  Any unforeseen problems, contact me immediately and I will make sure you are satisfied, guaranteed.
