The Ramones - "Blitzkrieg '76" ( Bootleg LP - Blitz, 19?? - 2nd Edition)

This is our third Brudders post and like the previous two, recorded where the ripped jeans company from Queens created the myth, on stage! Come to think of it, I never found a person claiming his love of rock & roll and not listing the Ramones on his top 5 live acts. I have this as well in a CD-R but the sound lacks in comparison with the vinyl version (it says "remastered" but sounds like re-sequenced and punch-less). I must say JP got me 'in sleep' with this, cause of the 20 more or less Ramones bootlegs I own, NONE has the quality of "Blitzkrieg '76". As the front cover's writing, this show recorded in May 12, 1976 at the "The Club" in Cambridge, Mass but judging by its sound this is probably broadcasted through radio cause it's worm as Kitten Natividad's natural pillow clasp! The songs source it's from the two first albums, so you know already that what you're going to have is 40 plus minutes of sugar-ish buzzsaw at its best! Btw, there's a new semi-official/boot CD out these days under the title of "The Cretin Hop" by Smokin'. Like the sleeve says it's a broadcasted show on WBCN FM during the "Road To Ruin" days and i presume it's cool but sadly not much money to spend on another boot. If anyone's of you guys and gals got it already, please comment if it's worth the money dropping or not. One, two three, four!

  4. This was originally on a syndicated radio show...I don't remember the name of the show...which had thirty minutes of Ramones...and thirty minutes of Martha Velez...it was called the beat from the street, I think. I found a vinyl copy of the show...complete with the radio announcer at a record store in Gainsville,Fl, around 1980.
