Ramones Its Alive Deluxe

Fast and furious - that was the modus operandi of Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, and Tommy Ramone when they hit U.K. concert stages in December 1977 in the wake of the November release of their third studio album, Rocket to Russia. The New Year's Eve gig at London's Rainbow Theatre provided the basis of It's Alive, issued in April 1979, with 28 songs comfortably packed onto less than 54 minutes of vinyl. Now, that singular document of the Ramones' electrifying performance has been revisited by Sire and

Ramones Road to Ruin

The Ramones entered New York's Mediasound Studios in May 1978 with their mission clearly laid out: to achieve radio airplay and mainstream success without sacrificing their punk values.  It wasn't such a far-fetched idea; a love of '60s pop had been ingrained in the band since their debut.  For their fourth album, Road to Ruin, the band would continue on the path blazed on 1977's Rocket to Russia with stronger playing, stronger production, stronger songwriting, bigger hooks, and more varied

Ramones Rocket to Russia

Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, and Tommy Ramone introduced their fast and furious style of bubblegum punk on 1976's Ramones, then followed it up the next year with the even more potent Leave Home.  Just months later, the band dropped its third major salvo.  With Rocket to Russia, the sound and feel of the band's first two albums was taken to the next level - and now, forty years later, it's often recognized as the finest Ramones set.  Happily, Rhino has continued its series of LP-sized, hardcover
