OFF: BOC: New York State of reissues

[Doug Pearson]

Picked up the new reissues of 'Secret Treaties' and 'Ramones' last night
(bonus tracks on the latter are pre-album demos, most of which were
previously released on the 'All the Stuff' vol.1 CD, a 7" on Norton, and a
bootleg 7"EP; it also comes in a nifty slipcase).  Nice to see two of the
greatest bands from New York getting such splendid back catalog treatment
at the same time!  Something tells me that I'll have the new CD's of the
first three albums by both bands within a couple weeks ...

Do BOC and the Ramones have anything else in common besides opening for Dio-
era Black Sabbath on subsequent tours (or associations w/Jim Carroll and
Patti Smith)?
