40th Anniversary Of The Ramones Debut On The Way

The Ramones iconic debut ‘Ramones’ turned 40 in April and will be expanded for an anniversary edition in June.

Things happened fast in the 1970s. ‘Ramones’ was recorded in January, 1976 in seven days for $6400 and was released on April 23.

The album contained some of the DNA of punk music today including ‘Blitzkreig Bop’, ‘I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend’, and ‘Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue’.

For the 40th anniversary edition original producer Craig Leon went back to the studio to work on the release.

The first disc features Leon’s newly remastered stereo version and mono mix of the album. “The earliest mixes of the album were virtually mono,” says Leon. “We had an idea to record at Abbey Road and do both a mono and stereo version of the album, which was unheard of at the time. I’m thrilled that now, 40 years later, we followed through on that original idea.”

The anniversary edition’s second disc spotlights single mixes, outtakes, and demos. Several of those recordings have never been released, including demos for “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend,” “53rd and 3rd,” and “Loudmouth.”

The third disc captures the band performing two full sets live at The Roxy in West Hollywood on August 12, 1976. While the band’s first set has been available before, the evening’s second set makes its debut here. Rounding out the set is a vinyl LP containing the new mono mix of Ramones.
