The Ramones
Leave Home [40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition] 3CD
(2017)
"Leave Home" was a progression for the Forest Hills punk quartet: more diverse songs written independently by the band instead of devised in the studio; a budget nearly doubled from the sessions for "Ramones" (plus a big shot producer, Tony Bongiovi, assisted by drummer Tommy Ramone); and even the first steps toward a consistent design (with the back cover featuring a take on the United States’ Great Seal designed by Arturo Vega, still the go-to logo for the band). Though neither critical nor commercial reception matched its predecessor, the band did score its first minor chart hit with non-LP track "Sheena is a Punk Rocker", later appended to the album after legal issues prevented the use of the track "Carbona Not Glue". The album also featured favorites like "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment" and "Pinhead", which featured the infamous nonsense lyric "Gabba Gabba Hey", a rallying call for fans from that point forward.
This new box features a wealth of previously unreleased bonus content:
1. "Leave Home" engineer and longtime band collaborator Ed Stasium has newly mixed the album, adding some of the power they felt was missing from the original mix. This mix will sit alongside the original on the box’s first disc.
2. A dizzying 33-track bonus disc offers a treasure trove of content from the "Leave Home" sessions, including rough mixes of the entire album from recording location Sundragon Studios, an additional 18 alternate mixes and instrumentals, both sides of the "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" single and the track "Babysitter", which replaced "Carbona Not Glue" on UK pressings of "Leave Home".
3. The set concludes with a previously unreleased set recorded at the legendary CBGB’s in April of 1977, three months after the release of "Leave Home".
