In early 1975, an editor of Hit Parader and Rock Scene, saw the fledgling Ramones performing at CBGB and subsequently wrote about the band in several magazine issues. The group's vocalist related that 'Lisa came down to see us, she was blown away by us. She said that we changed her life; she started writing about us in Rock Scene, and then would write about us and we started getting more press like. Word was getting out, and people starting coming down.'

Convinced that the band needed a recording contract, Robinson contacted, former manager of, and argued that he needed to manage the band. Fields agreed because the band 'had everything he ever liked,' and became the manager in November 1975.On September 19, 1975, the Ramones recorded a at, which was produced. Featuring the songs ' and ', the band used the demo to showcase their style to prospective labels. Producer, who had seen the Ramones perform in the summer of 1975, brought the demo to the attention of ' president. After being persuaded by Craig Leon and his ex-wife, the Ramones auditioned at Sire and were offered a contract, although the label had previously signed only European bands. Drummer recalled: 'Craig Leon is the one who got us signed, single handed. He brought down the vice president and all these people—he's the only hip one in the company.

He risked his career to get us on the label.' The label offered to release 'You're Gonna Kill That Girl' as a single, but the band declined, insisting on recording an entire album. Sire accepted their request and agreed to release a instead. Recording and production. 'Doing an album in a week and bringing it in for $6,400 was unheard of, especially since it was an album that really changed the world.

It kicked off and started the whole thing—as well as us.' —Joey RamoneThe band applied microphone placement techniques similar to those which many orchestras used.

The recording process was a deliberate exaggeration of the techniques used by in the early 1960s, with a four-track representation of the devices. The guitars can be heard separately on the stereo channels—electric bass on the left channel, rhythm guitar on the right—drums and vocals are mixed in the middle of the stereo mix. The mixing of the production also used more modern techniques such as, a technique used by studios to add a supplementary recorded sound to the material. The band also used a technique known as, where the vocal line used is sung twice.Recording for the album was expanded by (Joey's brother) and Leon with percussion effects, which went unmentioned in the liner notes to the album's release. Author Nicholas Rombes said that the production's quality sounded like 'the ultimate do-it-yourself, amateur, reckless ethic that is associated with punk,' but concluded that they approached the recording process with a 'high degree of preparedness and professionalism.'

Artwork and packaging. The back cover to the Ramones album was designed by artist, who produced the photo of a belt buckle in a.Initially, the Ramones wanted an album cover similar to (1964) and subsequently had pictures taken in that style by Danny Fields but Sire was dissatisfied with the results. The art direction was by Toni Wadler and, according to cartoonist, the 'Meet The Beatles' cover idea came out 'horribly'. Wadler later chose a photo by Roberta Bayley, a photographer for for the cover.

The black and white photograph on the front of the album was originally in an issue of Punk.The cover photo features (from left to right), Tommy, Joey and, staring at the camera with blank faces. They are all wearing ripped/faded blue jeans and leather jackets, standing upright against the brick wall of a private community garden called Albert's Garden, located in the neighborhood of New York City between Bowery Street and Second Street. The stance of the group members in the photograph would influence their future cover designs as well, with the majority of their succeeding albums using a picture of the band on the front cover. Music historian states that 'Tommy is standing on his tip-toes and Joey is hunched over a bit.' The back cover art, which depicts a belt buckle with a bald eagle and the band's logo, was designed.

On the back cover fail to acknowledge and additional instrument players. Leigh, who performed backing vocals on several tracks, asked guitarist Johnny why he was not mentioned on the record's credits. Johnny replied: 'We didn't want people to get confused with who's in the band or who's not.

It's our first album, you know, and we didn't want people to get confused.' The artwork became one of the most imitated album covers in music.

We'd get two rooms in the hotel, three of us in each. They couldn't afford any more help at that point, so the band had to pitch in unloading the equipment. I'd play the drums during sound checks, while Tommy went out to the board and mixed the sound—and instructed the soundman not to fuck with the settings.

We would enlist the aid of any fan willing to help us load out at the end of the night.At the time, Leigh was, and head of security.

Linda Stein pushed to make these events happen, setting up the band performances in the UK during the.

Fields relates: 'On the two-hundredth anniversary of our freedom, we were bringing Great Britain a gift that was forever going to disrupt their sensibilities.'

While the moods displayed in the album were often dark, Johnny said that when writing the lyrics they were not 'trying to be offensive.'

There was a with women sitting around and a kid screaming, a spoiled, horrible kid just running around rampant with no discipline whatsoever. The kind of kid you just want to kill. You know, 'beat on the brat with a baseball bat' just came out. I just wanted to kill him.'

—Joey Ramone on 'Beat on the Brat'Beat on the Brat' was said by Joey to have origins relating to the of New York City. Dee Dee, however, explained that the song was about how Joey saw a mother 'going after a kid with a bat in his apartment building's lobby and wrote a song about it.' 'Judy Is a Punk' – written around the same time as 'Beat on the Brat' — was written by Joey after he walked by Thorny Croft, an apartment building 'where all the kids in the neighborhood hung out on the rooftop and drank.' The song's lyrics are fictional and refer to two juvenile offenders in and and their possible deaths at the conclusion of the song. 'Judy Is a Punk' is the original album's shortest track at 1:39.'

The song served as an inspiration for one of the first punk, 's.' I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement' is also minimalist, and inspired by horror movies. The entire text is composed of three lines, and the composition was based on three. With a playing time of 2:35, it is the longest piece on the album.

' As kids, we never wanted to go down to the basement cos it was so dark and scary. And that toilet was certainly very scary.' )'Loudmouth' has six major chords and is harmonically complex. The song's lyrics are — depending on the reading and punctuation — a single row or four very brief lines.' Havana Affair' has a lyrical concept incorporating the comic strip by Cuban-born illustrator.

At roughly 170 beats per minute, 'Loudmouth' and 'Havana Affair' proceed at about the same tempo.'

Johnny insisted that the song is about 'Dee Dee turning tricks.'

The half-sung and half-shouted bridge in '53rd and 3rd' are performed by Dee Dee, whose voice is described by author Cyrus Patell as what 'breaks the deliberate aural monotony of the song and emphasizes the violence of the lyric.'

Reception Professional ratings Review scoresSourceRatingA10/1010/10Ramones was released on April 23, 1976, by Sire Records and received glowing reviews. In May, of the published a rave review, saying: 'What the Ramones do is deliver a nonstop set of short, brisk, monochromatically intense songs. Conventional considerations of pace and variety are thrown calculatedly to the winds.

The ingredients are simplicity itself.' Rockwell noted: 'the effect in the end amounts to an abstraction of rock so pure that other associations get left behind.' Favourably commented in the: 'This record poses a direct threat to any vaguely sensitive woofer and/or tweeter lodged in your hi-fi.' Reviewing that same month in, said that, while the power of the band's music draws from 'fairly ominous sources' like Nazi imagery and brutality, he cannot deny the 'sheer pleasure' of the music: 'For me, it blows everything else off the radio: it's clean the way never were, sprightly the way never were, and just plain listenable the way never was.' In July, of Rolling Stone wrote in 1976 that the album was similar to early, and was constructed using rhythm tracks of great intensity.

In August, dubbed The Ramones as 'The most radical album of the past six years', saying: 'it is so strikingly different, so brazenly out of touch with prevailing modes as to constitute a bold swipe at the status quo.' Reviewer Gene Sculatti saw it as 'a rock 'n' roll reactionary's manifesto'. 'a sharp wedge between the stale ends of a contemporary music scene bloated with graying superstars and overripe for takeover.' Critic Joe S.

Harrington declared that the album was a huge landmark for music history, proclaiming that 'it split the history of rock 'n' roll in half.' Theunis Bates, a writer for, summed the album up with: ' Ramones stripped rock back to its basic elements. Lyrics are very simple, boiled-down declarations of teen lust and need.' Bates also said that it 'is the ultimate punk statement.'

Young of Rolling Stone regarded Ramones as 'one of the funniest rock records ever made and, if punk continues to gain momentum, a historic turning point.' 'I love this record—love it—even though I know these boys flirt with images of brutality (Nazi especially) in much the same way ' flirts with rape. This makes me uneasy.

But my theory has always been that good rock and roll should damn well make you uneasy.' —Robert ChristgauLater reviews of Ramones tended to praise the album's influence on rock music. In 1995, of The Guide to Rock said that the album ignited the punk rock era, writing: 'rock's mainstream didn't know what hit it.' In 2001, April Long of rewarded the album with a perfect score, remarking that the Ramones were 'arguably the most influential band ever,' despite their lack of mainstream acceptance.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic also deemed the album influential, saying 'In comparison to some of the music the album inspired, The Ramones sounds a little tame—it's a little too clean, and compared to their insanely fast live albums, it even sounds a little slow.' The album's sound was considered by Erlewine to be 'all about speed, hooks, stupidity, and simplicity.' Regardless of this critical acclaim, Ramones was not successful commercially. It only reached No. 111 on the US, and sold 6,000 units in its first year.

Outside the US, the album peaked at No. 48 on the Swedish chart.The album was included in 's List of Top Ten College Cult Classics (1995), where it was noted that 'everything good that's happened to music in the last fourteen years can be directly traced to the Ramones.'

The band was inducted into the at the 2002 induction ceremony, with the website stating that their first album changed the rock genre from 'bloated and narcissistic', to 'basic' rock and roll.

In 2003, Ramones was considered by Spin 's Chuck Klosterman, Greg Milner, and Alex Pappademas to be the sixth most influential album of all time.

In 2006, it was chosen by as one of the 100 greatest albums ever.

Rombes wrote that it offered 'alienated future rock', and that it 'disconnected from tradition.' The album was the start of the Ramones' influence on, with examples being genres such as, and most notably, punk rock.

The said of their influence on rock in general:When the Ramones hit the street in 1976 with their self-titled first album, the rock scene, in general, had become somewhat bloated and narcissistic. The Ramones got back to basics: simple, speedy, stripped-down rock and roll songs. Voice, guitar, bass, drums. No makeup, no egos, no light shows, no nonsense. And though the subject matter was sometimes dark, emanating from a sullen adolescent basement of the mind, the group also brought cartoonish fun and high-energy excitement back to rock and roll.Despite the lack of popularity in its era, the importance of the album for the development of punk rock music was incredible, influencing many of the most well-known names in punk rock, including, and., singer for Green Day, explained his reasoning for listening to the band: 'they had songs that just stuck in your head, just like a hammer they banged right into your brain.' The album also had a great impact on the English punk scene as well, with the bassist for, saying that the album caused English bands to change their style. 'When their album came out,' commented James, 'all the English groups tripled speed overnight.

Two-minute-long songs, very fast.' In another interview, James stated that 'Everybody went up three gears the day they got that first Ramones album.

Punk rock—that rama-lama super fast stuff—is totally down to the Ramones. Bands were just playing in an groove until then.' In 1999, Classic Albums by recognized Ramones as the start of English punk rock and called it the fastest and hardest music that could possibly be concocted, stating: 'The songs within were a short, sharp exercise in vicious speed-thrash, driven by ferocious guitars and yet halting in an instant. It was the simple pop dream taken to its minimalist extreme.' In 2012 the album was preserved by the, deeming it 'culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant.' Cover versions and tributes Each song on Ramones has been covered by various bands. Covered 'Beat on the Brat' on their 1987 EP, and, in 1991, German punk band played 'Blitzkrieg Bop' on their.

General CommentOK, I'll show my age here since none of you grew up back then.Blitzkrieg is a word used for WWII Germany's Lightning War, and Bop was a dance. They're generating steam heatPulsating to the back beat 'This song is about teenage sex in the back of a car!Bop was a word for sex back then!Look up Cyndi Lauper's song SHE BOP.

It's about masturbation and rarely played because of it.(times have changed, now you can describe sex graphically and nobody cares.)Joey Ramone was Jewish (and related to Howard Stern), so I'm sure he's not singing a pro-Nazi song!Punk music is usually about sex, rebellion and having a good time!
