Description: ARTIST: The Ramones TITLE: Acid Eaters LABEL: Chrysalis – 827676 1, Radioactive – 827676 1 RECORD GRADING: VG SLEEVE GRADING: VG+ NOTES: Brazilian pressing from 1993. Rare! Includes insert, which has some spotting from age. Acid Eaters, released in 1993, is the Ramones' unique take on the rock and psychedelic classics of the '60s that influenced the band. This album stands out as a full collection of cover songs, showing the Ramones' deep reverence for the music that shaped them while adding their signature fast-paced punk energy. It’s a playful and intense exploration of the songs they loved, including tracks by bands like The Byrds, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Jefferson Airplane. True to the Ramones’ style, each cover has been transformed with buzzing guitars, rapid drumming, and Joey Ramone’s distinctive vocals, blending punk’s rawness with ‘60s psych-rock grooves. Highlights include “Journey to the Center of the Mind” (originally by The Amboy Dukes), which kicks off the album with a relentless drive, and “Somebody to Love” (by Jefferson Airplane), a fast, gritty homage to the original. Tracks like “Out of Time” and “7 and 7 Is” keep the energy high while respecting the psychedelic roots. The production, handled by Ed Stasium, maintains a balance between grit and clarity, capturing the Ramones at their punk best while offering a glimpse into their musical roots.
