The very first JR song I ever heard. I heard Hospital on the radio around 1976 or so. That got me hooked for life.

From a radio broadcast recently made available on 'Night Train', VPRO Radio, Netherlands, a super sounding show, and with something almost unique too, 'Here we are in ancient Egypt', great stuff...

Roadrunner cuts out at about one minute in

1977 Sep 24 Amsterdam Netherlands Paradiso

A great show this - with a very funny trombone instrumental and a few unusual songs, as well as, Little Boy In My Heart, a song that I'm only aware of through this recording and one other - The Paradise, Boston (just above here) with Leroy Radcliffe, Asa Brebner, and D. Sharpe.

Jonathan with the Modern Lovers: Asa Brebner, Leroy Radcliffe and D. Sharpe. Ice Cream Man is great fun... with loads and loads of false endings.

This radio show starts out with a little ditty called something like "We're the Modern Lovers"

Top Pop (1978)

Top Pop

Said to have been recorded in Jonathans apartment in Cambridge. With Leroy Radcliffe, Andy Paley, Ellie Marshall, and  another backing singer, Liz Does.

The Paley Sessions (1979)

Pol Dodu

The proper title for this one is "At my front door", although on stage in 1979 in Paris for the Chorus show, Jonathan himself first introduced it as "Crazy little Mama", before correcting himself. It's a cover of the biggest hit by The El Dorados, from 1955...

Highly recommended! Previously listed here as 'Unreleased Lost Elpee, 1980'. These seem be better identified as the eight-track demos that were recorded at Perfect Crime Studios during late summer of 1979 (see Tim Mitchell's book 'There's Something About Jonathan' - page 124).

Last night of a 3 night stand at Yab Yum's. Very intimate shows. you can hear the door to the coffee house or whatever it was opening and closing...

1994 Feb 13 Orlando USA Yab Yum's

A strange JR song. Dark and almost evil sounding at times. Unless I'm missing the point of the song entirely. It wouldn't be the first time!

Yeah, this one and The Neighbors are both dark. Still not completely sure if I really get them...and I've heard them both countless times!

She's not so scary she's got all of my records! 

The term "Vampire Girl" has entered into my natural dialect because of this song

1998 Nov 9 New York City USA Irving Plaza

How is JR able to point out things that rarely get pointed out in such a lucid way?

"Here Come the Martian Martians" and "Mary Anne" are together
