Oh boy! This is the album that really got me into The Ramones. I heard it long before I ever heard their first one and just played it endlessly back then.

May even be more than that. Pre-tax difference for me was $18 (£36.26 is about $47). Add in the tax I'd pay on US order and it's a bit more. Thanks for posting this. This too was my first Ramones album.

Ramones' 'Leave Home' Reissue Planned for 40th Anniversary Deluxe edition includes two different album mixes, unheard tracks and an unreleased live show recording from CBGB
By Althea Legaspi
Ramones' Leave Home will be reissued for its 40th anniversary. Their January 1977 sophomore studio album, which includes their classics "Pinhead," "California Sun" and "Swallow My Pride," will be reissued in a deluxe edition and will also be available as a single CD.
Ramones: Leave Home 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, out July 14th via Rhino, is a three-CD/one-LP set that includes two different mixes of the original album. One is a remastered version of the original stereo mix and the other is a new 40th Anniversary mix by the album's original engineer/mixer Ed Stasium. The latter is also featured on the vinyl LP.
"Generally, the consensus was [the original] maybe sounded too clean, the guitars panned completely left-right detracted from the band's foreboding presence, and the reverb effects especially were a little excessive," Stasium writes in the liner notes.
The second disc houses unheard and rare recordings, which includes rough mixes of 15 tracks recorded for Leave Home at Sundragon studio in New York. It also features "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" and "Babysitter," which were replacement songs in the U.S. and U.K. versions of the album after the band removed "Carbona Not Glue" shortly after its initial release. The third disc comprises a previously unreleased live show recorded at CBGB on April 2nd, 1977.
The deluxe edition comes packaged in a 12" x 12" hardcover book, which features stories from the group's former manager Danny Fields (as told to music writer Michael Azerrad) alongside making-of-the-album details provided by Stasium. Only 15,000 individually numbered copies of the deluxe edition will be produced.
The newly remastered original version of Leave Home will also be available separately as a single CD. The Leave Home set follows last year's 40th Anniversary edition of the Ramones' debut album.

Hoping the price drops on Amazon.ca like the first set. I got a copy of that for under $30 Canadian, it eventually dropped below $20 for a day or two.
I got it for that price as well. But I'm not holding my breath that the new one will go for that. As nice as that would be. Today it did drop by $30 though, down to $62.80.

Under $50.00 I'm in. May have to await awhile though I believe.

Yeah, that would be too much to ask for, they appeared to lower it just to move out stock, normally mistakes don't last that long. Perhaps it did not sell as anticipated?

Maybe not, but since they are releasing this "Leave Home" deluxe so soon after, you would think it sold alright. I wouldn't mind if they would do a remix of all the initial albums, particularly "End of the Century" because I wonder if they could de-Spectorize it. Maybe get rid of the echo and other effects Spector used. I actually like the album as is, but it would be interesting to hear those songs with an alternate mix.

Just received my copy of this. I got # 01381. The vinyl is nice and quiet. I am not sure about the new mix- I'll have to compare with my original album as I am not hearing a lot of difference so far. The only thing I notice so far is that the hi-hat seems to be really prominent. Maybe the Ramones had always intended to revolutionize drums with a lead hi-hat? Finally, this mix makes it right! I'll give some more thoughts once I've lived with it for a few days. Has anyone else got this yet? Thoughts?
