B-Sides & Miscellaneous Songs

"(You) Can't Say Anything Nice"
B-side on the "Something to Believe In" 12" single (U.K.). Richie wrote a number of songs, but this is the only one which he sang. An excellent song that deserved to be on an album.

"Smash You"
"Street Fighting Man"
B-sides on the "Howling at the Moon" 12" single (U.K.). "Smash You" was written by Richie, it is another great song that should have been on an album.  "Street Fighting Man" is a cover of the Rolling Stones song.

"Go Home Ann"
B-side on the "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" 12" single (U.K.). Mixed by Lemmy from Motorhead.

"Life Goes On"
"Indian Giver"
B-sides on the "Real Cool Time" UK 12" single.  "Indian Giver" was later included on the RamonesMania compilation.

"(And) I Don't Wanna Live This Life"
Originally released on the "Crummy Stuff" UK 12" single.  Dee Dee wrote this song for the motion picture Sid And Nancy, but the song never made it into the film.  It was recorded during the Animal Boy sessions.  Available on All The Stuff (And More) - Vol. 2 and the Hey Ho Let's Go! Anthology.

"Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)" - Extended
A b-side on the UK "I Wanna Live" 12" single.  This version has drum intro and is slightly longer.

"California Sun" (1996 Version)
This is a re-recorded version of the song which first appeared on their Leave Home album.  It can be found on the  Music For Our Mother Ocean album (1996, Surfdog/Interscope INTD-90062).  Produced by Daniel Rey.

"Chop Suey"
Found on the Get Crazy Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1983) on Morocco Records. Very difficult to find.  The movie is available on videocassette, however, just a short portion of the song is featured in the film.

"I Wanna Be Sedated (Ramones-On-45 Mega-Mix!)"
B-side on the "I Wanna Be Sedated" 7" single, released in the U.S. on Sire Records. This is a re-release in conjunction with the Ramones Mania album. The Mega-Mix version  includes samples of  "Blitzkrieg Bop",  "Pinhead", and  "Rock 'n' Roll High School" mixed in.

"R.A.M.O.N.E.S." (C.J. vocal)
Bonus track on the Japanese version of Adios Amigos. C.J.'s great singing and a better mix make it superior to the version later found on Greatest Hits Live, which was sung by Joey.  Originally recorded by Motorhead and found on their album 1916.

"It's A Long Way Back To Germany"
This song is a b-side on the UK "Do You Wanna Dance?" 7" single.  This version is unavailable on any album and features Tommy Ramone on drums.  It was re-recorded for the Road To Ruin album and the title was shortened to "It's A Long Way Back."

"Babysitter"
This song was the b-side of the "Do You Wanna Dance?" 7" single.  It was also the song that replaced "Carbona Not Glue" when it was removed from the UK version of Leave Home.  You can also find it on the compilation Attack Of The Killer B's, Volume 1 (Warner Bros. Records 23837-1, 1983) and the Ramones' All The Stuff (And More) - Vol. 1.

"Howling At The Moon (Sha-La-La)" - Swedish Remix
This remix has additional synthesizers and drums, and is much longer than the original version.  Released on the Tandan Records label in 1985.  Remixed by Anders Oredsson and Olle Larsson at The Polar Studios in Stockholm.  One source claims this was an unauthorized remix which angered the band.

Other Albums/Singles/EPs

Rock "N" Roll High School Soundtrack
From the motion picture of the same name.  Ramones songs include:

"Rock 'n' Roll High School"
"I Want You Around"
"Come On Let's Go" - a cover of the Richie Valens song, with the Paley Brothers supplying the vocals.
A melody of live songs featuring "Blitzkrieg Bop", "Teenage Lobotomy", "California Sun", "Pinhead", and "She's The One".
"Rock 'n' Roll High School" - sung by actress P.J. Soles, who played Riff Randle in the movie. The music is very different than the Ramones version. I doubt the Ramones played on this version of the song.
 

Ramones Talkin' Mondo Bizarro Promo CD
What makes this limited edition promo cd worth having is the interview with Joey. In the interview, he talks about the band's history, his political views, and their just-released album, Mondo Bizarro. It also contains four live songs recorded on October 15, 1992 at the Hollywood Palladium: "Take It As It Comes", "Censorshit", "Poison Heart", and "Strength to Endure"

"Ramones - Leathers From New York" Sonic Book
This Italian import is a CD case size book and a CD containing four songs.  From the lack of any copyright information, this appears to be an unofficial release.  The book, written by Vanni Neri and Giorgio Campani, features a biography in both English and Italian, good photos, and an extensive discography.  If you can get past the poor English, misspelled words, and writing lifted almost word for word from Jim Bessman's "Ramones: An American Band" (1993, St. Martins Press), the book is worth reading. 

Track Listing:

1. "Carbona Not Glue" - Original studio version
2. "Blitzkrieg Bop" (Live) - Undated, but probably 1976 or 1977
3. "Chop Suey"  - from the Get Crazy Motion Picture Soundtrack (hard to find)
4. "The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs" - From the John Cage tribute album Caged/Uncaged (1993 - Cramps (Italy), CRSCD 097).  On this bizarre song, Joey chants over a very strange drum track.  Note: this was a Joey Ramone solo effort and did not feature the other Ramones.

"Carbona Not Glue" b/w "I Can't Be" 7" Single

This appears to be an official release by SubPop, but is instead a fake.  The inserts include the lyrics to the songs and a sticker.  Worth having if only for the great photo on the sleve.

 DVD release

Rock "N" Roll High School (1979)
