The $80 Ramones 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition collects 3 CDs, one LP and a hardcover book, in a limited, numbered box (the edition is limited to 19,760, which is a number you can interpret as either symbolic of the year 1976, or “this edition limited to the number we anticipate selling”).
The CDs include stereo and mono mixes of the Ramones’ first album, a disc of demos and outtakes, and a pair of concerts from 1976, performed at the Roxy (the vinyl LP reprises the mono mix). The accompanying 12″x12″ hardcover features producer Craig Leon’s notes from the original recording session, an essay by Mitchell Cohen, and photos by Roberta Bayley, who shot the cover of the Ramones’ debut album.
