mrc Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Just curious about this. I know Selfless/Clearview did several releases with bands covering the Ramones and i want to find them all. Are these the only ones out there? - SCREECHING WEASEL : Ramones - VINDICTIVES: Leave Home - QUEERS : Rocket To Russia - MR T EXPERIENCE : Road To Ruin - BORIS THE SPRINKLER: End Of The Century thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suburbanargyle Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Parasites - It's Alive McCrackins - Too Tough To Die Jon Cougar Concentration Camp - Too Tough To Die Huntingtons - File Under Ramones (I think this might be CD only) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skutch Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Huntingtons - File Under Ramones (I think this might be CD only) Yeah, never seen this on vinyl 99.9% it's CD only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skutch Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 oh, and in case it even needs aying, they are all inferior to the originals. Even the Screeching Weasel one which I do kind of enjoy. All the others just make me want to listen to the Ramones' versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntwolf Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 i liked the Vindictives one the best and the Queers one. the JCCC and Huntingtons aren't part of the 'Ramones series' that Clearview started and Cold Front picked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skutch Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 i liked the Vindictives one the best and the Queers one. Yeah, fair play, the queers one isn't bad at all. And I have a lot of time for JCCC. They're all just inferior to the originals IMO. Worth hearing but not worth shelling out big bucks for unless you're a serious collector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 thanks, yeah i dont plan on shelling out big bucks for any of them but would love to grab them all. so far i have the SW, vindictives and Boris the Sprinkler ones (but i have listened to the Boris... one yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeams Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 There's a zillion Vindictives selfless presses here. I think there's one on yahoo auctions for like 6 bucks, maybe new. The Vinctives album kills. The other one's a re good, buy I'd rather listen to the originals. (never heard the bps or bt or jccc albums, though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanargyle Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 thanks, yeah i dont plan on shelling out big bucks for any of them but would love to grab them all. so far i have the SW, vindictives and Boris the Sprinkler ones (but i have listened to the Boris... one yet) i got lucky and scored the vindictives and BTS LPs used for like 12 bucks for both of them. Hopefully i can hold out long enough to grab them all on the cheap. The tour edition of the Beatnik Termites one and the Parasites - Its Alive are being sold here: http://bored.knockknockrecords.com/index.php?topic=111687.0 I understand not wanting to go $25 on the Termites, but I will say the tour edition has a cool screened cloth cover.

mrc Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 thanks for the link, im gonna hold off for a bit. i see he has the Boris the Sprinkler - tour press on clear for $40. thats crazy, i got the same one for 4.99 last week. i guess i got a better deal than i though.

suburbanargyle Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 The prices in that record sale are pretty high overall. I picked up a Lillingtons / Nothing Cool split for $25, which seemed fair to me. I was also interested in the Fat Club series for the right price and they put $400 on it which I've never seen a complete set sold anywhere near that.

popquizkid Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Isn't every Beatink Termites album kind of a Ramones cover album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skutch Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Isn't every Beatink Termites album kind of a Ramones cover album? In a way, yes. But surely you can apply that to a lot of bands. An awful lot of bands. For what it's worth I think the Termites are a bit overated. Good songs and all but there's a million people doing the same thing just as well as them.

burntwolf Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 oh and one other funny thing about the parasites it's alive. they covered the japanese single lp version which apparently came w/ a lyric sheet w/ weird mistranslations. the parasites sang all those wrong lyrics on their version of it.
