On the same CD as the one from the 18th July 1980. An incomplete recording, just a few songs remain...

Egyptian Reggae cut's out part way through on this recording

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...

Previously listed as 'Studio Session 1982/3'. This looks better identified as the session recorded at Capitol Recording Studios, Los Angeles, in late 1980 (see Tim Mitchell's book 'There's Something About Jonathan' - page 130). By the way, there's a short CD circulating, called 'Jonathan Goes Funky' which is made up of  six tracks from this session. 

Studio Session Late 1980 (1980)

Studio Session Late 1980

Also known as "I Can't Stand To See People With Their Feeling's Hurt"

Set 2 sounds to have come from a different source to that for Set 1, and is a much better recording; hence a different rating for each of the sets.With the Rocking Robins & Michael Guardabascio.

With Curly Keranen, Michael Guardabascio and Ken Forfia, plus 'The Rockin' Robins' : Ellie Marshall and  Beth Harrington.Yoyos On Parade' & 'Creeps On The March' aren't really songs they're just a few lines while Jonathans messing about for a minute or two.

i always wanted to hear the full version of CornerStore from the film Kingpin, but i never found it..

This song was written in the studio during the recording of "Modern Lover's 88"

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

My favorites from this album are Closer and Everyday Clothes.

It's interesting that he pulled "Miracles Will Start To Happen" out of nowhere... a song that he played way back in 1980 and hadn't (to my knowledge) been heard from until it was put on this album.

I love the sound of Jonathan's guitar on this album.

Even simple songs like Sleepwalk will haunt on this album. To get this album you must enter a specific mood

Jonathan Richman (1989)

His funniest song? Even though it's not really a song.

This song threw me off at first but now I think it's hilarious

There were many shows I was at where Jonathan at least did some of CLOSER as CERCA in espanol! Definitely my favorite song of his in Spanish!

I love when he goes "mas y mas y mas y mas y mas y mas"!
