Leave Home dei Ramones compie 40 anni. L’album del 1977 con i classici Pinhead, California Sun e Swallow My Pride verrà ristampato in una edizione speciale il 14 giugno: la deluxe conterrà due diversi mix del disco originale, distribuiti in tre CD e un vinile. Il primo è la versione rimasterizzata del mix stereo del 1977, il secondo un nuovo missaggio curato dal tecnico del suono Ed Stasium.
La cover originale di ‘Leave Home’
«L’originale sembrava a tutti un po’ troppo pulito, con le chitarre totalmente separate nello spettro stereo. La presenza della band era un po’ penalizzata anche dai reverb, forse un po’ eccessivi», ha scritto il tecnico del suono nelle note d’accompagnamento.
Il secondo CD ospita registrazioni inedite, delle vere rarità: sono le versioni rough di 15 brani incisi al Sundragon studio di New York, tra cui Sheena is a Punk Rocker e Babysitter. Il terzo e ultimo disco, invece, contiene un concerto inedito registrato al CBGD il 2 aprile 1977.
La deluxe edition è accompagnata da un libretto con copertina rigida: all’interno i ricordi del manager Danny Fields (raccolti dallo scrittore Michael Azerrad) e i dettagli del making of raccontati da Stasium. Di questa versione saranno stampate solo 15,000 copie.
