UK (12”): beggars banquet. beg 140t / 3 tracks / 1985

UK press only. 7” test press with hand written plain white labels, no sleeve.

Bonzo taken from Animal Boy LP; it's the Ramones' comment on Reagan's and (German chancellor) Kohl's visit to a soldiers' graveyard in Bitburg; it turned into a scandal back then because it's also a site of Nazi graves. After the intervention of (conservative) Johnny Ramone this song was renamed for the LP version (“My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down”). Daytime Dilemma is from Too Tough LP. 12” adds an exclusive track, “Go Home Ann” mixed by Lemmy from Motörhead. Nice. [7]

Die Ramones kommentieren hier den gemeinsamen Besuch Helmut Kohls und Ronnie “Bonzo” Reagans Besuch auf dem Soldatenfriedhof bei Bitburg. Daytime Dilemma ist von der Too Tough-LP. Auf der 12” gibt es dazu noch “Go Home Ann”, von Motörhead-Lemmy gemixt und nur hier zu finden. Feines Dokument um diese peinliche Affäre. (KS)
