Ramones – Leave Home

Yeah this pressing slaps. Clean pressing. Centred, flat, heavy. Mix and mastering is really good as well. RJ Sterling in the deadwax. Sterling is generally a good sign of audio quality and in my experience rarely misses.

Not a bad pressing of this album by any stretch, but it falls a bit short compared to the Japanese pressing (the AIM and Japanese Phillips pressings are the only two copies of this I own). The wax is pleasingly quiet and the music is overall quite punchy and in your face, however, it's not the most dynamic sounding record, at least not compared to the Japanese pressing. This is still a fun listen and the multiple colour variants adds to its collectibility.

Fantastic sounding version of this record; dead-silent wax, plenty of low-end, with an overall fantastic mix. I'm lucky enough to have a complete set with the OBI but would recommend to anyone to pick up this version even if it's missing it.

I have a copy with these runouts, but the label layout of the other similar version

My copy did not come with the white poly-lined sleeve

Great reissue. Sounds terrific. Wish it included an insert. All around very nice!

Just dusted my Promo Copy off...Sounds Big, Loud, and damn good on my set-up...

(Fluance RT-82 w/Acrylic Platter, ATN-XP cart/5 stylus. Nobsound T3 Phono Amp, Aiyima A07 Pro, Kicker KB6B, & 2x Polk PSW10 Subs...Simple Low Cost Setup)...Happy Listening

BIG aggressive guitar attack! Nice balance on the low end and deep 3D image. This sounds like punk rocks is supposed to sound: mean but with a smirk. You can feel the texture to the 3 chord assault and the snap and reverb to the snare is outfuckingstanding. This has that edge lacking in modern remasters. Highest recommendation! [Tech specs in my profile].

Hmmm, I have the runout etching "R1-528061-A S-76803 CB", but the labels say "Made in the E.U."

This sounds pretty darn good...Much heavier vinyl than the original Sires, has "carbona not glue" ( so now the vinyl version with "sheena is a punk rocker" is going to be the rare one LOL? ), printed inners.
