ramones - Leave Home

ramones - Leave Home is The Ramones' second album was cut from the same leather as their debut with a crucial difference. They were getting better fast. That meant the songs were still as sharp and as bitingly funny, but the playing and production were clearer this time around. There was the classic bombast blast of short songs, and "Leave Home" provides a chock-load of classics. You get "Gimmee Gimmee Shock Treatment," "Suzy Is A Headbanger," "Commando" and the bangin' rave-up cover of "California Sun." The band shows its affinity with classic pop by twisting girl-group pop iIt features one Ramones classic after another. "Pinhead", "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment", "I Remember You" and on and on. The CD includes "Carbona Not Glue", which was removed from the original album after the first pressing, at the request of the manufacturers of Carbona. It was replaced by the single version of "Sheena is a Punk Rock" in the US, and "Babysitter" in the UK. "Babysitter" is included here, but "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" is not. That is unfortunate, because the version of this album that I grew up with featured "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" on it. The CD also features a complete 30 minute concert from August 1976 in Los Angeles.nto "You're Gonna Kill That Girl" and mutating surf music into "Oh Oh I Love Her So."
