Johnny Ramone
The Final Sessions  purple vinyl
(Cleopatra Records)



Though elements from a thousand bubblegum and bargain basement subcult roller coaster rides lurked in the Ramones' storied  amphetamine-demolition oeuvre, there had never been a band like them. Nor has there, since. Their influence will surely prove of the ubiquitous, eternal class.

It was fitting that, once Johnny's Ramones days lay behind him, he threw in with Lemmy, Danny B. Harvey, and Slim Jim Phantom to revivify Elvis. 

Their spiritual and physical unity evoked inimitable specialness. And a mighty, loudly forcible presence burst in every direction at once, never forgetting the kicks at the heart of the whole proposition.
