MY RAMONES – BY DANNY FIELDS

Description

About My Ramones

First Third Books published My Ramones in 2016 as a limited edition hardback of only 1300 copies. The book is 176 pages, with 250 photographs (in b&w and color) taken by Danny Fields, with commentary written by him just for My Ramones.

But wait, there’s more, including comments and memories from David Johansen, Michael Stipe, Fayette Hauser, Andy Paley, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, and Jayne County.

My Ramones offers Danny’s unique perspective–in his words and his pictures–of the group’s early years (1975-1977), with its four original members: Joey, Tommy, Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone.

See photos of the Ramones by their original manager Danny Fields–backstage and onstage, touring in America and Europe, in their dressing rooms and hotel rooms, and partying with fans and other bands.
