What a feast for fans of the real Fab 4! Here's a collection of 1983/84 sessions, demos, B sides (and more!). Presenting the kings of Punk going through critical times as they approach the fiasco of their previous album, 1983’s “Subterranean Jungle", and toughen their sound (never forgetting their Bubble Gum roots) to deliver what would be their hardest album to date, "Too Tough To Die."

The brothers Ramone opted to stay the course for their 1984 follow up, enlisting drummer Richie Ramone for his first project. The collective creative intention was to further stray from the lukewarm reception bestowed upon their more pop-centric End of the Century (1980) and Pleasant Dreams (1981), and rediscover the harder edges that built their initial success. With this unifying vision in mind, the band opted to record as live and raw as possible in order to capture that punk rock ethos. This compilation provided a bevvy of demos, B-sides and alternate takes from these sessions, many of which feature Richie on lead vocals. A true gem for devout followers of the Fab 4.

The Ramones were an American punk rock band that formed in the New York City neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens, in 1974. They are often cited as the first true punk rock group. Despite achieving limited commercial success during their time together, the band is today seen as highly influential.

All of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with the surname "Ramone", although none of them were biologically related; they were inspired by Paul McCartney, who would check into hotels under the alias "Paul Ramon". The Ramones performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for 22 years. In 1996, after a tour with the Lollapalooza music festival, they played a farewell concert in Los Angeles and disbanded.
