Ramones – Ramones (LP Vinyl)

When the Ramones played their first CBGB sets in 1974, they were rewriting the rules before anyone knew rules existed. The debut that followed two years later, clocking in under 30 minutes with 14 songs, landed like a grenade in the middle of arena rock excess and didn't apologize for a second. Fifty years on, Craig Leon's mono remix restores the original's raw, deliberate punch exactly as it was meant to hit.
