Ramones Mania

Ramones Mania is the first compilation by the American punk band the Ramones. It includes thirty Ramones songs, including some single versions, namely "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker," "Needles & Pins," and "Howling at the Moon", a B?side, "Indian Giver" and one previously- unissued song version, the stereo movie mix of "Rock 'n' Roll High School". The album contains a 50-page booklet with a little history about the Ramones, including the release dates of all their albums. This was their best selling album, it is the only Ramones album to be certified Gold in USA. Ramones Mania is a relentless collection of 30 tracks from the Ramones' first ten albums, ranging from the classic Ramones to the less-than-classic Halfway to Sanity. Although not all of their great '70s songs are included, it boils down the highlights from the inconsistent '80s albums quite effectively, making it a useful summation of their peak period, even if the sequencing is not chronological.
