On July 29, the Ramones release a 40th anniversary box set of their self-titled debut album containing plenty of rare and unreleased goodies.

We’re delighted to preview the box set with this unreleased demo of “I Don’t Wanna Walk Around With You”.

It was recorded by Tommy Ramone at Dick Charles Recording on 729 7th Ave, NYC and included on one of the band’s early demo tapes.

The 3CD/1LP set will be released as a limited edition of 19,760 individually numbered copies.

The set includes stereo and mono mixes of the original album, plus rarities, as well as unreleased demos and live show – all produced, mixed, and mastered by the album’s original producer and mixer Craig Leon.

It will be packaged in a 12 x 12 hardcover book and also include production notes by the album’s producer Craig Leon, an essay by journalist Mitchell Cohen along with additional pictures taken by Roberta Bayley.

The first disc features Leon’s newly remastered stereo version and mono mix of the album. “The earliest mixes of the album were virtually mono,” says Leon. “We had an idea to record at Abbey Road and do both a mono and stereo version of the album, which was unheard of at the time. I’m thrilled that now, 40 years later, we followed through on that original idea.”

The anniversary edition’s second disc spotlights single mixes, outtakes, and demos. Several of those recordings have never been released, including demos for “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend“, “53rd and 3rd” and “Loudmouth“.

The third disc captures the band performing two full sets live at The Roxy in West Hollywood on August 12, 1976. While the band’s first set has been available before, the evening’s second set makes its debut here. Rounding out the set is an LP containing the new mono mix of Ramones.
