Showa (Ramones Edition)

Artists

Album Info

Release Date: 1989

Label: Vis A Vis Audio Arts

Alternate edition of the Showa LP in a fictitious "Ramones – Britzkrieg '75 (Demo Tracks)" sleeve with made-up tracklist. The Gerogerigegege is not mentioned anywhere on the sleeve. Some copies came with a playable 愛人 = Ai-Jin flexi-disc as an insert.

Catalog number appears as 'VDR/LP010' on the sleeve and 'VLP-010' on the label (identical to Showa LP).

Faux tracklist on the back cover:

SIDE A
Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue
Chain Saw
I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend
Havana Affair
Shock Treatment
Judy Is A Punk
Carifornia Sun
Loud Mouth
Swallow My Pride

SIDE B
Oh Oh I Love Her So
Glad To See You Go
Baby Sitter
Britzkrieg Bop
Command
Listen To My Heart
Water Business
I Remember You
Ensam I Natt

Most are titles of the songs from Ramones' first two albums Ramones and Leave Home, some with characteristically Japanese typos ('Britzkrieg' and 'Carifornia Sun' with R instead of an L). Two tracks, "Water Business," and The Leather Nun's cover "Ensam I Natt," are from The Gerogerigegege's Sexual Behavior In The Human Male 7" released the same year.
