  • Rhino Reissues the Ramones' First Four Albums
    2011-07-11 09:13 CEST Rhino Reissues The Ramones’ First Four Albums NOW I WANNA SNIFF SOME WAX Rhino Reissues The Ramones’ First Four Albums Both Versions Available July 19 Hey, ho, let’s go. Rhino celebrates the Ramones’ indelible musical legacy with reissues of the pioneering group’s first four albums on 180-gram vinyl. Ramones, Leave Home, Rocket To Russia and Road To Ruin look amazing and come in accurate reproductions of the original packaging. More importantly, the records sound magnificent and were made using lacquers cut from the original analog masters by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. For these releases, Rhino will – for the first time ever on vinyl – reissue the first pressing of Leave Home, which includes “Carbona Not Glue,” a track that was replaced with “Sheena Is A Punk Rocker” on all subsequent pressings. Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy Ramone. The original line-up – along with Marky Ramone who joined in 1978 – helped blaze a trail more than 30 years ago with this classic four-album run. It’s hard to overstate how influential the group’s signature sound – minimalist rock played at maximum volume – was at the time, and still is today. These four landmark albums – Ramones (1976), Leave Home (1977), Rocket To Russia (1977) and Road to Ruin (1978) – contain such unforgettable songs as: “Blitzkrieg Bop,” “Sheena Is Punk Rocker,” “Beat On The Brat,” “Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue,” “Pinhead,” “Rockaway Beach” and “I Wanna Be Sedated.” RAMONES Side One Side Two 1. “Blitzkrieg Bop” 1. “Loudmouth” 2. “Beat On The Brat” 2.

  • RAMONES the Sire Years 1976-1981 Die Ersten Sechs Alben Der Punkrock-Pioniere in Einer Box!
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] RAMONES The Sire Years 1976-1981 Die ersten sechs Alben der Punkrock-Pioniere in einer Box! „Hey ho, let’s go!” Mit diesem Schlachtruf begann eine Epoche. Bei allen Diskussionen, wer nun wo den Punkrock erfunden habe, steht eine Tatsache außer Zweifel: Die RAMONES haben ihn auf den Punkt gebracht wie keine andere Band. Sie nahmen den dahinsiechenden Rock’n’Roll unter ihre Mähnen, erfanden ihn neu und gaben ihm die Kraft und Innovation zurück, die irgendwo zwischen Woodstock und Progrock verlorengegangen war. 1974 in Forest Hill, Queens, NYC, gegründet, waren die RAMONES neu, authentisch und kreierten einen aufwühlenden Sound, der zur Hebamme einer der lebhaftesten Musikstile aller Zeiten wurde: Punkrock. Mit der 6-CD-Box RAMONES: The Sire Years (1976-1981) präsentieren Rhino Records das Erbe einer der innovativsten Bands in einer umfassenden Box, die die bedeutendsten Alben des Quartetts in einer längst fälligen Sammlung vereint: Ramones (1976), Leave Home (1977), Rocket To Russia (1977), Road To Ruin(1978), End Of The Century (1980) bis Pleasant Dreams (1981) – sämtlich mit ursprünglichen Tracklistings und Original- Artwork. Das Debüt der RAMONES aus dem Jahr 1976 war zugleich ein Manifest und eine Aufforderung zum musikalischen Aufstand, der zahllose Fans anspornte, selbst die Gitarre in die Hand zu nehmen. 14 Songs brauchten gerade mal eine Gesamtlänge von 32 Minuten. Reduziert auf das Nötigste, erreichte keine der Nummern die 3-Minuten Marke – die meisten blieben sogar unter zwei Minuten. Und es waren Klassiker, die da über die Musikwelt hereinbrachen: „Blitzkrieg Bop“, „Beat On The Brat“, „Judy Is A Punk“ und „I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend“.

The two phenomena fed into each other and spiraled out of control. In a matter of months, a veritable revolution changed the way music was produced, played and heard. The old rock stars were forgotten and new rock stars began setting new trends. As far as white popular music goes, it was a sort of Renaissance after a few years of burgeoisie icons (think: Bowie), conservative sounds (country-rock, southern boogie) and exploitation of minorities (funk, reggae). During the 1970s alternative rock had survived in niches that were highly intellectual, namely German rock and progressive-rock (particularly the Canterbury school). They were all but invisible to the masses. 1976 was the year when most of those barriers (between "low" and "high" rock, between "intellectual" and "populist", between "conservative" and "progressive", between "star" and "anti-star") became not only obsolete but meaningless.
