Ramones-It's Alive (1979)

Produced by Ed Stasium, "It´s Alive" is one of those live shows recorded in a single day, which perfectly captures what the Ramones represented on stage. With a repertoire of 28 songs, where the majority does not exceed two minutes, they review all the classics of the band at that time.
The influences of Beach Boys, Buddy Holly, Mc5 are evident throughout the length and breadth of the album but sifted by that characteristic punk rock sound of the Ramones. Few pauses between song and song, energy in abundance and large doses of fun is what these guys from New York did. The rest of the story is well known. The following years they record dozens of discs, some better and others mediocre but all with the imprint of the group until their final disappearance in the late nineties.
