RamonesBroadcast Collection 1977 - 1995

Broadcast Collection '77 – '95 is an unofficial box-set comprising 9 CDs and a 24 page colour booklet. There are 8 different Ramones concerts on the CDs. This is what you get:Disc 1 – The Four Acres, Utica, New York, 14th November 1977Disc 2 – Old Waldorf, San Francisco, CA, 31st January 1978Disc 3 – Stage One, Buffalo, New York, 8th February 1979Disc 4 – City Hall Plaza, San Francisco, CA, 8th June 1979Disc 5 – Capitol Theatre, Sydney, Australia, 8th July 1980Disc 6 – My Father's Place, Roslyn, New York, 20th July 1982Disc 7 – My Father's Place, Roslyn, New York, 20th July 1982Disc 8 – Palacio Penarol, Montevideo, Uruguay, 14th November 1994Disc 9 – Obras Stadium, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 5th October 1995All concerts were recorded for FM radio and the sound quality is very good (though not as good as official live albums such as It's Alive or Loco Live). I particularly enjoyed San Francisco 1979, which sounds great and really captures the excitement of a Ramones gig. Disc 8 doesn't sound as good as the others, and Disc 9 has an incredibly annoying DJ talking over the songs.I got this set for just over twenty-two pounds and am very pleased with it. I recommend this box-set to any Ramones fan who already owns all the official albums and wishes to expand their collection.

Good value for money. I'm happy with the sound quality.

Mixed bag as far as sound quality is concerned, but still brilliant stuff at a ridiculously low price.

Basically OK, just that these albums have been put out many many many times before with different names and sleeves. Not the Ramones’ fault though, and this is a good compilation if you do not own these semi-bootlegs already.
