Title: Ramones – Leave Home
Year/Genre/City: 1977, Punk Rock, New York City, NY
Matrix #: SR 6031
Condition: VG+

Cultural Facts:

[Name System]: The “Ramone” surname was a shared identity, not family—four strangers building a unified gang-name to look like a single unit on flyers, posters, and stage.

[Tour Reality]: The band’s early touring life was famously grim: long drives, cheap motels, constant boredom, and internal tension—part of why the “leave home” idea fit their real routine.

[Band Friction]: The group ran on friction as much as chemistry—especially around control and money—setting the template for decades of Ramones-era resentment and lineup instability.
