    This has to be played loud! You’ll hear what I mean

      This is a great pressing and EQ, wonderful soundstage and separation even though you’re enveloped by this ocean of raw sound.

        I have never owned a Ramones album, found a minty copy of this pressing and I am blown away. The mastering is world class here, I was really expecting clean but ultimately low-fi punk experience...my copy is a highly, highly detailed HURRICANE. While cut on the "hot" side I waited for sibilance and distortion that never arrived, the more I pushed the power the more the soundstage revealed. Our 12 year old was nodding to Sheena smiling...Gen Z tween approved!

          This pressing absolutely thumps. Sounds so good, and very analog.

            This is the most fun of all the Ramones' albums - surf punk at its best. Tommy Ramone went out on a high point on this one--his drums sound really great, especially on surf raveups like "Rockaway Beach, Sheena & Surfin' Bird. The guitars have that fabulous tube warmth, as does the bass. Vocals sound great as well, with lots of subtle backing vocals adding to the fun!

              Great clear and punchy sound, much better produced than most punk albums of the era. The Ramones really had it together by this point. Pick one of these up if you're looking for a good copy
