The Ramones’ first live album celebrates its 40th anniversary this year with a new version that’s been updated with remastered sound and expanded with three unreleased concerts from the same tour. Originally recorded in London on New Year’s Eve 1977 and eventually released as a double album in 1979, It’s Alive delivered a blistering barrage of live takes on classic tracks from the band’s first three albums.
The 4-CD/2-LP exclusive numbered limited-edition set includes superior remastered original album by engineer/producer Ed Stasium plus three previously unreleased live shows and new liner notes by Steve Albini & Ed Stasium.
