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

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). 

The Lost LP (1979)

The Lost LP

Includes a couple of very unusual songs, but, be warned... the sound quality is poor.

"I'm a Little Dinosaur", and "Shirin and Fahrad" are performed acapella

She's Mine is really Rama Lama Ding Dong by the Edsels

Thanks Ramon! I changed the song to Rama Lama Ding Dong

1988 Mar 2 Paris France New Morning

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

Harpo is my favorite. No real clunkers on this album.

This lineup still sounds fresh to this very day. I wish that version of the Modern Lovers had stayed together for a few more years

A rowdy and very lively audience; Jonathan joins 'the Skeletons' for the first 3 songs...

1991 Feb 16 Chicago USA Lounge Axe

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!

"Parties in the USA" goes into "Hang On Sloopy"

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

1995 Apr 21 San Francisco USA Noe Valley

1996 Jan 31 Orlando USA Yab Yum's

I love it when JR writes songs about real people. Velvet Underground,Pablo Picasso,Walter Johnson, etc.

The first of three great sounding recordings from Japan.

1997 May 26 Kyoto Japan Taku-Taku

A very clear recording including several new songs.
