Ramones Are Releasing ‘Road to Ruin’ 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition This Fall

The Ramones released the band’s fourth studio album, Road To Ruin, 40 years ago this September. Rhino Records will release two versions of the Ramones’ Road to Ruin 40th Anniversary Edition on Sept. 21, a day before the anniversary of the album’s original release on Sept. 22, 1978: a 3-CD/1-LP boxed set, as well as a newly remastered version of the original album. Both titles will also be available digitally and via streaming services. You can pre-order it here.

Dee Dee, Joey, and Johnny were joined for the first time by drummer Marky Ramone, who replaced founding member Tommy Ramone, who’d left to do more producing and writing for the band. It was also the album that introduced a nation of pinheads to the all-time Ramones’ classic “I Wanna Be Sedated.”
