Product Description

California Sun; Pinhead; Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment; Glad to See You Go , and all the rest of the classics from the original 1977 LP-PLUS their previously unreleased West Coast concert debut at the Roxy (8/16/76) featuring Blitzkrieg Bop; Judy Is a Punk; Let's Dance , and more live greatness!

Amazon.com

Slightly less primitive than the Ramones' debut, Leave Home is somehow more melodic, poppier, and heavier than its predecessor. "Glad to See You Go" name-drops "the passion" of Charles Manson, while the terrific "Commando" ("First rule is the laws of Germany / Second rule is be nice to mommy") brings to mind a funnier MC5. But "Oh, Oh, I Love Her So" is pure classic pop--metallic bubblegum and their first foray into the Beach Boys-inspired harmonies that would be used to greater effect on Rocket to Russia. The "bruddahs" even do a speeded-up version of "California Sun" to drive the point home. "Pinhead" gave birth to the "Gabba! Gabba! Hey!" rallying cry. This splendid remastered reissue includes the original artwork, superior sound, and excellent liner notes by heavy-metal Ph.D. Dr. Donna Gaines. Also included is the band's August 1976 L.A. debut show at the Roxy Theater. Leave Home is the album that clued in a lot of people that this band was more than a novelty. --Bill Holdship

This was the first Ramones album--maybe the first punk album--that I ever bought, and I can still remember how it FUZZED MY BRAIN.
After three years of Top-40 radio dominated by the likes of Andy Gibb, Seals & Crofts and Steely Dan, LEAVE HOME was more than a breath of fresh air, it was a tornado. Within six months of hearing this LP I was a complete convert, wearing torn jeans, playing nothing but barre chords, and hunting down the Sex Pistols, Clash, Ramones, etc. LPs that were then generally available only as imports.
Punk was very quickly turned into some quirky American marketing scheme--I'm thinking about Blondie, the Talking Heads and the Romantics here--but with a few short gliches (END OF THE CENTURY, for example) the Ramones remained true. They were one of the very few who found a connection between punk and traditional rock--"Pinhead" and "California Sun" sound just fine side by side, for instance--so I guess they didn't see much reason to fool with the formula.
And they were great fun. "Carbona Not Glue" and "Beat On The Brat" are a laugh, not the misanthropic mess they would have been in lesser hands. You can not keep your head from bangin' when listening to the Ramones.
Joey Ramone may be the most underrated singer in rock history. A lot of intitial critical reaction to the Ramones focused on the relentless bass/rythm guitar attack; to me it had as much to do with Joey's vocals as anything else. Could he hit high notes with George Michael? No. Would he want to? No. Joey Ramone put across NY swagger like nobody's business, and David Johanson would have given his eye teeth to sing like Joey.
Ramones LPs been called audio comic books, and to a large extent that's true. On the other hand, they were the only rockers I recall who had the guts to release a record about the absurdity of Ronald Reagan's embrace of the Third Reich, "Bonzo Goes To Bitburg." It was one of the last times Rock was actually important, I think, and it's also a great single; track it down.
Back when I was full-bore into the scene, I thought ROCKET TO RUSSIA was the best Ramones LP. Looking back, I think ROCKET was simply more accessible to a boy raised on melody; it also had a better cover photo and some of the 'professional' sound I was accustomed to. Today I see LEAVE HOME as the best Ramones LP, bar none. There are at least 7 classic Ramones songs here.
Adding the Roxy show makes this great LP a great double LP. Unlike some other live Ramones releases, this catches the band at their energetic peak--August, 1976. Joey's patter between tunes is the greatest.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5th Rule is: This 1-2 punch will Knock You Out!
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2006

As years pass, it will only become more apparent that the Ramones produced some of the best and influential rock songs. Few lyrics and fewer chords somehow found a way to establish so much.

The 2nd in the great trio of Ramones titles from 1976-77, Leave Home has been combined with a memorable 1976 west-coast gig. The 1-2 punch will simply knock you out.

Glad to See You Go, Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment, Suzy Is a Headbanger, Pinhead, and Commando will all have you chanting and dancing along. Oh Oh I Love Her So succeeds where others have not dared to tread - and yes, some of us do remember similar moments in our young, Queens, New York lives.

After getting in the mood, what better way to wrap up this experience but with a thunderous 16-track live performance where we can hear a virtual greatest hits of their early material. I was floored by the musical and historical weight of this disc, and have little doubt that you will as well.

Let's go ... 1-2-3-4 !!!

Been listening to Ramones Leave Home and nothing else in the car for a solid week now with no end in sight! What a group! The Ramones had perfect chemistry with each original member, Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee & Tommy, an equally vital part of the puzzle that comprised this perfect pop group. A 2002 article in Spin placed them as the #2 band of all time after The Beatles and I'd say that was fair enough (administring a swift stomp to the golden throat of The Beach Boys!). But I would submit that status is entirely contingent on the first two albums plus a couple of subsequent singles - Sheena & Rockaway. By the time of Baby I Love You the original high concept and quality was done, but those first two albums - just wow!!! These guys were on a whole new frequency! Those first two albums (Ramones and Ramones Leave Home) beat the first two by any other band you care to name. Doors? Velvets? Mmm, yeah those two are probably the closest - never mind about them. The Ramones emerged fully-formed on that first record, which incidentally ignited punk in the UK. Maybe the songs were slightly stronger on Ramones - it harboured nothing as unremarkable as What's Your Game?, let alone the stop-gap Babysitter which replaced the epic Carbona Not Glue on the UK release of Ramones Leave Home for some stupid reason. But I still rate Leave Home slightly higher, for the great production and subtleties of the arrangements. But what a knockout one-two! Joey immediately established himself as a great vocalist - not a great singer, as such, but a great idiosyncratic vocalist - with mind-boggling phrasing, the guy was a complete one-off man-mental! All four contributed to the songs, but Dee Dee stood out. He was the greatest of all punk songwriters, after all, and the cornerstone of The Ramones music. Dee Dee grew up in Germany and that's where the imagery came from for songs like Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World, Commando, Blitzkrieg Bop, etc. But Blitzkrieg was Tommy's song, Dee Dee just tweaked it. I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend was also Tommy's. Joey wrote Swallow My Pride, Sheena Is A Punk Rocker, Beat On The Brat, Judy Is A Punk, I Remember You -
many of the early singles, in other words. Dee Dee (sometimes with Johnny) wrote all of The Ramones side 2 (except for cover-version Let's Dance), plus I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement, Rockaway Beach, Glad To See You Go, Now I Wanna Be A Good Boy, and they all chipped in for Pinhead, Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment, Carbona Not Glue, Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue (iirr).
All of the original band members are gone now, and if that's the price you pay for being part of something as amazing as The Ramones, well it figures I guess.

Dopo aver comprato l'omonimo (in un negozio di dischi) e "Rocket to Russia" in una versione estesa, ho approfittato per l'ottimo prezzo di questo secondo lavoro dei "Ramones".
"Leave Home" del 1977 rappresenta un pò il proseguimento del precedente lavoro ("Ramones" del 1976), con l'aggiunta di tracce escluse. Nel caso di questa versione, in un unico Compact Disc sono presenti ben 31 tracce!
Le prime 15 sono del lavoro originale, compreso "Carbona not Glue" che nelle versioni successive dell'album (ristampe dal 1977 in poi se non sbaglio) venne esclusa per motivi di censura. Le tracce successive, dalla n° 16 in poi, sono delle versioni live dell'album precedente, registrate in un concerto tenutosi ad Hollywood, California, nel dicembre del 1976.
Non l'avevo mai ascoltato prima d'ora, ma sostanzialmente è il proseguimento del precedente album. Alcune tracce molto belle anche se come nel loro stile, sono testi semplici ed essenziali, con musica abbastanza "ripetitiva", ma forse questa caratteristica li ha resi originali, nel periodo della seconda metà degli anni settanta del secolo scorso.
Consiglio vivamente l'acquisto di questa versione, che contiene 31 tracce per gli amanti del "punk-rock".
Con questo album ho completato la "trilogia" dei "Ramones" perchè, a mio avviso, i lavori successivi sono poca cosa e mi sembrano ripetizioni dei loro successi.
