Joey Ramone: Faces (Collaborations 1982-2000)



This is a loving bootleg that collects up the scraps from all over Joey Ramone's career. While you may not want to continuously re-listen to every one of the 24 tracks, it is amazing how many are pretty damn good like this collaboration with Debbie Harry that showed up as a B-side of one of her less-than-successful solo singles:





WARNING: The original compilers, in their zeal to show Joey's range, included a few officially released Ramones tracks. While I can't see the harm, these tracks inclusion does go against our mission of offering the unoffered. So, with no apology, we've made a few substituttions of other rare tracks or live versions to underscore our primary point - BUY THE DAMN ALBUMS!





1.  Joey, Dee Dee Ramone and The Dictators - Danny Says (3:09)

    Count me in for downloading this one. I love the Die Toten Hosen version of "Blitzkrieg bop" & although I'm not a Ramones fan they were definitely fun.

      Every-time I post any Die Toten Hosen there's a tepid response - but they're a great band!

    What a great collection. Joey Ramone (and the Ramones in general) was/were a lot better than their "jokey" image made many think. Sure there were the buzzing guitars (which, by the way, sound a lot less menacing, odd, and fast than they did to us back then!) but the lyrics could be funny or touching, Joey got the utmost out of his voice, and they even had some great melodies.

    Thanks to the compiler of this great collection, and thanks for making it available.

      Yeah I'm glad the Joey Ramone estate, such as it is, is making a claim for his importance in the American Pantheon. Maybe they'll make a legal version of this comp available.
