Home / Punk & New Wave / Ramones
Fourteen songs, under half an hour, year zero for punk: buzzsaw guitars, bubblegum hooks and no solos. Simple, joyful and revolutionary. The blueprint everyone copied. Released in 1976, it's an early landmark for Ramones.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
