BOOGIE RAMONE'S INTERVIEW RELATED TO THE POLAND 4 RAMONES: TRIBUTE TO RAMONES
Boogie Ramone is main man
behind of this tribute album.1) Jari-Pekka Laitio-Ramone: How you were composing tribute album and how you got idea?
Boogie: Idea to make a Polish tribute to the Ramones was born in early 2010 in my Ramone-head. After consulting with my friend Marek (from publishing), I started doing this in April 2010.
Now in December 2010, label MB-BLE not exist anymore because Marek moved to Australia (maybe for better life). Now he sends me greetings from Sydney.
So, I am sad because Poland 4 Ramones: Tribute To Ramones will not printed more. Therefore tribute is limited edition of 499 copies. Only few copies are left (December 30, 2010).
2) Jari-Pekka: What bands you asked first and how long was process?
Boogie: First I gathered bands which I knew were already played Ramones covers: Dumbs, Farben Lehre, Bulbulators, Cela nr 3, Armia, Wlochaty, The Headhunters and Disorient.
Rest of bands contacted me. I very much appreciate it and want to thank them. Every band approached the matter with enthusiam. All new songs were recorded in April-September, 2010.
