Ramones‘ third studio album, Rocket To Russia, is to celebrate its 40-year anniversary with two versions.
The 3 CD/1 LP Rocket To Russia: 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition will contain two different mixes of the album: a remastered version of the original and a new 40th Anniversary Tracking Mix by original Rocket To Russia engineer/mixer Ed Stasium. The collection also includes a number of unreleased studio recordings, plus a previously unissued recording of the band’s 1977 concert in Glasgow.
The Deluxe Edition will be produced in a limited and numbered edition of 15,000 copies worldwide and comes packaged in a 12 x 12 hardcover book. Along with the music, the set also features stories about the band by Sire Records founder Seymour Stein, details about making the album by Stasium, and extensive liner notes by Uncut contributor, Jaan Uhelszki.
Two dozen rare and unreleased recordings are found on the second disc, including rough mixes from sessions at Mediasound and The Power Station. The third disc, meanwhile, features a complete unreleased recording of the band’s December 19, 1977 show at the Apollo Centre in Glasgow.
