Description

Ramones is the groundbreaking debut album by the Ramones and one of the most influential records in the history of punk rock.

Released in 1976, the album revolutionised rock music with its stripped-back sound, blistering tempos and short, high-energy songs. Recorded in just seven days, it laid the blueprint for countless punk and alternative bands that followed.

Featuring the classics Blitzkrieg Bop, Beat On The Brat, Judy Is A Punk, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, 53rd & 3rd and Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World, the album remains one of the defining releases of the punk era and an essential record for any serious vinyl collection.
