RAMONES: Rare Ramones Vol. 2 LP

Description

The second volume of a two-part collection, this impressive compilation chronicles the lesser-known recordings from the black leather jacket-clad kings of punk and (more importantly) New York. The two volumes of Rare Ramones present a selection of B-sides, demos and previously undiscovered rarities, with entry numero uno covering the beginnings of the band, starting with the mythical Slug demo recorded in 1977 and finishing in 1984 with early sessions of material that would eventually appear on the latter-day catalogue staple Too Tough To Die. An absolute treat and essential grab for any Pinhead worth their salt.

Starting where Volume 1 ended, 1985, and covering the rest of the Ramones career, Volume 2 of the Rare Ramones 2 volume series is a treat for all fans of The Kings. With a great selection of B sides, demos and other recordings Volume 2 contains 14 tracks of pure Bubblegum Punk bliss, including the very last Ramones studio recordings, done after the release of their last album “Adios Amigos” in 1995.
