Fourteen songs, twenty-nine minutes, no solos, no fat. The Ramones' 1976 debut set out a template so complete that half of what followed is a footnote to it: buzzsaw downstrokes, Joey's voice sliding between menace and bubblegum, Dee Dee counting in. This edition presents the mono mix, which pushes everything to the middle and makes the record land like one solid object. Recorded at Plaza Sound above Radio City for almost no money. Street date: October 23.
