WBCN, maybe 1972, not sure, I was 16, couldn't believe what I heard at all.... this is not Chicago! this is not 3 dog night!

Been in love with this since i first heard the 1977 version in 77 aged 15 . Still listening and still loving it aged 62 . ❤

Remember buying this when it came out in the UK, still listening and love it.

Oooh, gorgeous picture disc and model DeLorean!! Also, I love your mini Doc Brown figure!

You got give VU Sister Ray lil love too...JR knew his roots

What speaker wire gauge you used? Does it have setting to set the startup volume level?

Wow! The Sex Pistols covered it too! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7x3dqeSyKmmqJ8.html

I love where he gets real quiet on the third version, and reminisces about how much he loves Boston.....

Roadrunner (Once) is missing and that s the best version

Vinyl rules, so crisp

Number two for me very easy to brake the speed limit to great tune time less

Just finished driving home on I 10 after dancing at a club, these 3 versions blasting all the way. All 3 have something to offer, my favorite is the keyboard driven Cale produced. Some really nice guitar and spoken inerludes in the live version.

Nephew pkayed this for me the other day. Love subpop and this kind of music, what a pleasant surprise, cant believe id never heard of them before.

Been listening to J.R. for basically forever. This along with his song 'Velvet Underground' are superb. My preference would be version 2.... but that's probably because it is (I assume) the album version.

Version 2 is still my fave, possibly John cales involvement, a very velvets vibe, but all of them great.

Greatest R-n-R Song Ever Written. Period. End of story.

@billywyman

yup, it's #2.

Sounds awesome thanks My Nanna saw those people locked in cattle carts. And then my family went too in 44. 2 died but the rest made it. My grandfather and uncle were fighting the fascist bastards and survived as well. Yes it can happen again don't let it!

The Sex Pistols attempt this on The Great Rock n Roll Swindle. Makes me ashamed to be British. This song is superb. It was a direct tribute to Sister Ray by the Velvet Underground.

There is also a version that mentions FM radio. And there are probably many others. They are all so so good!

Let's go now...route 128! PURE GENIUS!

The first time I heard punk music was when I found a local low power college station, WNKU, playing the Sex Pistols covering this song. ❤

👍Brill!"

Awesome set up man!

They said when you bought a guitar 🎸 learn 3 chords to make a song, this is miles better with 2, still listening to this nearly 50 years later 🇬🇧, a work of art

Its like a timeless trifecta. So good. Thanks for sharing!

There weren't any lights on in New Hampshire

New Hampshire punk

Wow. So great!

Wow thanks for posting , I've never heard those second and third versions .The second one sounds like they were trying to rock it and make it more commercial. The third one I like that verbalizing at the end, true to his roots. I loved this song and getting turned on to JR on my college radio station, 1978. KUOI , Moscow Idaho.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing these. 🥳

Amazing how much a simple organ can add to a song. (#2)

Can’t get more GP than Evan. He was born to sing Parsons’ songs

Does anybody else think that when the doc statue gets to 4 o clock from our pov that his hand moves through optical illusion and it looks like hes checking the time for a nano second. Thank me Later 😂

Good reminder. I also have them at 7 inch. Always liked the faster roadrunner twice better. Bought them at NO FUN in Amsterdam in the period 1977 / 1978 when it was not easy to get Punk/new wave in the other shops. Btw, wasn't thrice not a flipside from my little koogenhagen ??

❤❤❤❤

They're all genius. Number two rocks hardest, so really does it for me. JR's vocal delivery is perfect and the Modern Lovers may as well be playing with machetes - blazing a trail for so many others to follow. Hard to believe this song is over 50 now! Still sounds as vibrant and youthful as the day it was born, like all great pioneering works of art! Legendary compile WeeklyRations!

Great!

Yeah man thank You YaH

Shy retard warp speed

I am in love with my loneliness...genius!

I first heard this in 76. It was rockin in the bushes next to 77, what a ripper!

As oscilacoes do vinil passava a impressao que ele estava dancando

Was always a fan of Mark Kozelek the musician. Mark Kozelek the person seems reprehensible. He hates his fans, he hates women, Hell, he pretty much hates everyone. I would love to discuss it with him, but as long as I have been a fan of the man's music, he has never played a live show here in Kansas City, or anywhere even close. He will play in Helsinki, Finland, but never in Middle-America...

Although the song goes back to 1972, this was my introduction in the UK to "New Wave". After Gary Glitter, The Sweet, and Doctor Hook, this was so refreshing and exciting. Years later, I moved from UK to.......you guessed in, Massachusetts! I drive past the StopnShop on Route 128 practically every day and I am a Roadrunner! Going to see him live in Somerville in October. Can't wait!

I generalise the ending of the first one was shorter...

The grandmother of all joy
