THE RAMONES: 'Weird Tales Of The Ramones' Box Set Due In August

June 20, 2005

According to Billboard.com, Rhino has set an August 16 release date for THE RAMONES box set, "Weird Tales of the Ramones", featuring 85 tracks onto three discs of music and the DVD debut of "Lifestyles of the Ramones". Originally issued in 1990, the latter rounds up the band's complete Sire music video collection, bolstered by six clips the RAMONES made during their run on the MCA-affiliated Radioactive label.

The box will also include a comic book featuring the work of 25 top graphic novel/comic artists, including Rick Altergott ("Doofus"),Sergio Aragones (Mad magazine),Bill Griffiths ("Zippy the Pinhead"),Xaime Hernandez ("Love and Rockets") and John Holmstrom. In addition to Punk magazine, Holmstrom has to his credit illustrations on the back cover and throughout the liner notes of the RAMONES' 1977 album "Rocket To Russia" and the cover of the following year's "Road to Ruin".
