Details: Product Description Out-of-print in the US. This outstanding CD includes their complete first two albums, Ramones and Ramones Leave Home, plus a number of B-sides, not released on the original LP's: 'I Don't Want to Be Learned, I Don't Want to Be Tamed' , 'I Can't Be', 'Babysitter', and a live version of 'California Sun'. Although their straight-ahead buzzsaw Punk may not raise eyebrows today, when these albums were originally released 30 years ago, they signaled a change in the musical climate and kick-started the Punk Rock movement! The Ramones didn't set out to create a new scene, they just wanted to take Rock back to basics and keep the songs short and catchy without those somewhat distracting guitar solos. Little did they know it at the time but these albums would change the world! 33 tracks in all. Warner. Amazon.ca We will not hesitate to speak of a cornerstone about this album. Historical milestone. It's about realizing that punk probably wouldn't have had the same resonance, the same impact, the same face too, without the Ramones. What the New York group announced from their first album in 1976 was the need (after the years of glaciation of progressive rock and the vain sweating of disco) for a return to raw energy with the instruments basics (guitar, bass, drums) and the conciseness of the message. Add to this a melodic requirement worthy of the best verses of the Beach Boys, and a good sense of humor, and we have the perfect illustration of the pleasure that a pop song can provide. A lively, intense and fleeting pleasure. "California Sun", "Blietzkrieg Bop", "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" do not say anything else; because it must be added that this CD contains the quintessence of the art of the Ramones. Its most fundamental pages from the founding albums, with 33 essential tracks and even some unreleased ones. It's all here, with the four original Ramones at the helm. In other words, a must among musts. --Jose Ruiz
