This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Ramones' iconic self-titled debut. While we await confirmation of a long-awaited Martin Scorsese documentary on the legendary punk act, there's another treat on the way with an expanded reissue of the album.
Ramones: 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition will expand the release into three CDs and one vinyl LP, and there are plenty of treats for Ramones fans within.
The compact discs include the original studio album in both stereo and mono mixes, as well as demos, B-sides and rarities and two live sets taken from a performance at the Roxy in 1976.
The Ramones mono mix has not previously been released, so it will also get a vinyl pressing that will arrive with the box.
Speaking of the mono mix, producer Craig Leon said, "We had an idea to record at Abbey Road and do both a mono and stereo version of the album, which was unheard of at the time. I'm thrilled that now, 40 years later, we followed through on that original idea."
In addition to the music, the Ramones box will include a hardcover book featuring Leon's extensive production notes, an essay from Mitchell Cohen and photographs from Roberta Bayley.
The 40th anniversary of Ramones will arrive on July 29 through Rhino.
