The Ramones' sensational end-of-the-century juggernaut is chronicled as never before on this career-spanning collection. Johnny Ramone compiled Weird Tales, the first-ever Ramones box, before his death in 2004. Three audio discs gather 85 tracks, and an additional DVD presents an hour of rare footage and essential video clips. A full-color, 52-page book contains graphic novel liner notes and illustrations by 25 top comic artists, including Sergio Aragones (Mad magazine), Bill Stout (EC Comics), Bill Griffith (Zippy The Pinhead), Xaime Hernandez (Love And Rockets), and Carol Lay (WayLay). Must be seen to be believed!

If you think of the Ramones as loud and stupid, you're only half right. By their 2,263rd and final concert in 1996, these punk forefathers had outsmarted and outlasted most of their detractors. And better yet, ever since they rocketed out of Queens in 1974, the Ramones have inspired countless kids worldwide to pick up guitars and rock. Bringing a bubblegum sensibility to the fast-and-hard, their primal sound is considered a blueprint for all things resembling snotty, catchy, ear-bleeding punk rock.
