Description
The Ramones’ first live album celebrates its 40th anniversary this year with a new version that’s been updated with remastered sound and expanded with with three unreleased concerts from the same tour. Originally recorded in London on New Year’s Eve 1977 and eventually released as a double album in 1979, It’s Alive delivered a blistering barrage of live takes on classic tracks from the band’s first three albums.

IT’S ALIVE: 40th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION will be available from Rhino on September 20. Produced in a limited and numbered edition of 8,000 copies, the 4CD/2LP 180-gram vinyl set comes packaged in a 12 x 12 hardcover book. It’s accompanied by new liner notes written by legendary record producer and musician Steve Albini and Ed Stasium, who produced and engineered It’s Alive and remastered all of the music included in this collection. This will be the first time that It’s Alive has been released on vinyl in the U.S.

IT’S ALIVE: 40th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION features all four concerts that were professionally recorded during the Ramones’ U.K. tour in December 1977, three making their debut release: Top Rank, Birmingham (December 28, 1977); Victoria Hall, Stoke-On-Trent (December 29, 1977); Friars, Aylesbury (December 30, 1977); and The Rainbow Theatre, London (December 31, 1977).

Taking its name from a 1974 horror film, It’s Alive was the last album to feature all four original band members: Dee Dee Ramone, Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone and Tommy Ramone. All four concerts included in the new Deluxe Edition capture the band in peak form as they storm through dozens of songs from the group’s influential catalog.

Among the numerous highlights are electrifying live versions of “Blitzkrieg Bop,” “Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue” and “I Don’t Wanna Walk Around With You” from Ramones (1976), “Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment,” “California Sun” and “Pinhead” from Leave Home (1977) and “Cretin Hop,” “Sheena Is A Punk Rocker” and “Rockaway Beach” from Rocket to Russia (1977).

I still remember when I first bought this album. It was available only as an import and I hadn't been able to find it anywhere. I was on an 8 hour stop-over in Chicago on my way to Flagstaff. I was going by train. I had plenty of time to walk around the city. i went into some little record store and there it was! A really great live album.

I also bought this as an import record back in the day. Will be getting this for sure.

And I second GodsComic comment; let's hope we have a continuation of these great reissue series.
If they keep coming and I will keep buying.

I can’t confirm it’s accuracy, but a rumor on the Hoffman board says End of the Century has been long planned, and after that Rhino will assess if further releases are warranted. The same source says that one potential complication is that Phil Spector had it written into his contract that his mixes cannot be altered without his approval.

For context, the same source *did* confirm months ago that a It’s Alive anniversary release was planned but was mistaken when they said it would be a simple remaster and not a expanded box set. It’s perfectly plausible that person’s information was true at the time he posted it and Rhino reconsidered at the last minute.

I'm happy to have the first three albums in a deluxe format. Everything after that is gravy.

From an article about Johnny Ramone and his widow Linda in today's LA Times, after mentioning the upcoming It's Alive, it says "producer Rick Rubin is involved in an upcoming expanded release of End of the Century" :yay:

I'm looking forward to an expanded End of the Century, but what would Rick Rubin bring to the project? As my daughters would say, "That's kinda random."..

Yeah. For the record, I'm just excited to see some confirmation of this in print and not about the Rick Rubin connection.

Yeah, I thought it was the album, and not Rick Rubin, that you were posting about.
Also for the record, I have many Rick Rubin produced albums in my collection, and enjoy many. So I have nothing against him. I just don't get what his connection is with this particular album. Though I know when he started out he was in a punk band, and he grew up in New York. Maybe this was a seminal album for him. He was 16 when it came out.
Anyway, it's just curious.
