Reissue. 2011 release; originally released in 1980. 180 gram vinyl. "Road to Ruin found the Ramones stretching their signature sound to its limits; even though there were several fine moments, nearly all of them arrived when the group broke free from the suddenly restrictive loud-fast-hard formula of their first records. Considering that the Ramones did desire mainstream success and that they had a deep love for early-'60s pop/rock, it's not surprising that they decided to shake loose the constrictions of their style by making an unabashed pop album, yet it was odd that Phil Spector produced End of the Century, because his painstaking working methods seemingly clashed with the Ramones' instinctual approach. However, the Ramones were always more clever than they appeared, so the matching actually worked better than it could have. Spector's detailed production helped bring 'Rock 'n' Roll High School' and 'Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio?' to life, yet it also kept some of the punkier numbers in check. Even so, End of the Century is more enjoyable than its predecessor, since the record has stronger material, and in retrospect, it's one of their better records of the '80s." --Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music

Standard weight vinyl reissue of the debut Richard Hell album, originally issued by Sire in 1977. "Hell formed the Voidoids, whose unwavering individualism kept the group out of the big time while producing a demanding and impressive corpus of work. 'I was saying let me out of here before I was even born.' That lyric sums up Hell's attitude, which he expanded and perfected on Blank Generation with a new version of the title track and such powerful statements as 'Love Comes in Spurts' and 'New Pleasure.' The album combines manic William Burroughs-influenced poetry and raw-edged music for the best rock presentation of nihilism and existential angst ever. Hell's voice, fluctuating from groan to shriek, is more impassioned and expressive than a legion of Top 40 singers." --Trouser Press

Exact repro vinyl version of their second album, originally released by Sire in 1978; 180 gram vinyl. "The Dead Boys set their sights on their sophomore effort, which was originally to be produced by Lou Reed (with a working title of 'Down to Kill'). But at the insistence of their record company (who was trying to convince the band to soften up their sound a bit to produce a breakthrough hit), the group enlisted former Cream producer (and bassist for early-'70s Cream disciples Mountain) Felix Pappalardi. The match didn't prove to be a fitting one, as the former hippie didn't understand the sonic onslaught of these young punks, resulting in an album that failed to expand on the promise of their debut. With a new title of We Have Come for Your Children, the album spawned another punk classic in 'Ain't It Fun,' but the disc sold even fewer copies than its predecessor." --Greg Prato & Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Exact repro of the classic 1st Dead Boys album, originally issued by Sire in 1977; 180 gram vinyl. "The Dead Boys moved to New York City in 1977 from Cleveland, Ohio shortly after the punk rock explosion started in New York. Shorty thereafter, the Dead Boys signed a record contract with Sire Records promising two studio albums and one live album. Largely influenced by groups such as Iggy Pop and the Stooges and Detroit's MC5, the Dead Boys released their debut Young Loud and Snotty in May of 1977. A very raw, powerful, and obnoxious debut."
