Info for Rocket To Russia (Remastered)

The third of the Ramones' original quartet of albums, 1977's „Rocket To Russia“ is actually a big improvement over the slightly disappointing 'Leave Home', released earlier in 1977. While not as solidly perfect as Ramones, „Rocket To Russia“ contains very little fat and boasts possibly the finest songs in the band's entire repertoire, 'Rockaway Beach' and the immortal 'Sheena Is a Punk Rocker.' 'We're a Happy Family' and 'Teenage Lobotomy' are only slightly lesser tracks, and the covers of the Trashmen's gloriously silly 'Surfin' Bird' and Bobby Freeman's 'Do You Wanna Dance' are conceptually perfect, linking the Ramones neatly with their garage rock and bubblegum roots.

The album carefully remastered sound makes it sound better than all previous incarnations of the album, highlighting the extent to which the cleaner production complements the group's poppier, slightly more complex new songs.

'...The most toweringly aggressive, misleadingly primitive, perfectly phrased musical statement ever made....The demos and alternate versions included demonstrate how finely honed every gangly gesture was from the very beginning...' (NME Magazine)
