Leave Home Addendum

The Expanded Edition

This edition of Leave Home is a vast improvement in the extras department as a complete concert was included. The concert was recorded on August 12, 1976 at the Roxy in California. The set is mostly the debut album and a few from Leave Home. The concert sounds amazing as the band played with blistering speed without much error or rest between the songs. It's great to hear them this early in their career and a year before the "It's Alive" concert, and its interesting to hear Dee Dee's backup singing alongside Joey clearly. The extras are the best of any of the Remasters, making this a must purchase for anyone.

Shortest Track: "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment" - 1:45
Longest Track : "Babysitter" - 2:49

Concert
Shortest Track: "Judy is A Punk" - 1:23 (10 seconds shorter than original)
Longest Track:  "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World"- 2:53 (with 56 seconds of Joey's farewell and cheers), 1:56 (from song's start to finish)
Length of "Blitzkrieg Bop": 2:05 - (without Joey's welcome and post-song cheers), 2:13 - (with intro and cheers)

At this moment in their career, the Ramones have the fastest recorded version of Blitzkrieg Bop at 2:05. Taking the intro and cheers to consideration, it is as long as the album cut in Ramones.
