FOUR DIFFERENT VERSIONS:
There are four different versions of the Marky Ramone & The SpeedKings
debut album produced by Marky Ramone and Nick CQ Cooper (Nick Cooper).
All of them has some differences in tracklistings.
Debut called No If's, And's Or But's! was relesed in Europe by White
Jazz records on November 19, 2001!
Before the release I wrote about my feelings how White Jazz was
more than a perfect choice. Both the band and the record label felt
very enthusiastic of their co-operation! White Jazz
released The
Song Ramones The Same tribute album on Joey's first day-of-death....
(April 15, 2002). Tribute album has bands like The
Hellacopters, The Nomads, Sahara Hotnights, Wayne Kramer, Backyard
Babies, The Dictators, D.A.D, Toilet Boys, Sator...
White Jazz version of the album contains 13 songs and two
bonus tracks from previous recordings with the collaboration of Ben
Trokan (Marky Ramone And The
Intruders vocalist / guitarist) and Mark Neuman (Sheer Terror).
These two bonus tracks are Motivate To Move and Road Rage.
Marky Ramone & The SpeedKings debut was released 11 months later in the
USA and Canada: October 22, 2002 (label Thirsty Ear). Title of debut is
there Legends Bleed. Release contains 16 studio tracks and four bonus
live songs. USA/Canada release (Legends Bleed) has same 15 studio
recordings than what are in
the European version and then as well Beaver On My Mind. Four live
bonus tracks are Ramones songs: I Don't Care, Beat On The Brat, Rockaway
Beach and Glad To See You Go. Those four live tracks not released on
the Marky Ramone & The Speedkings live release Alive.
Also there are published versions in Japan and South
America. Marky Ramone & The SpeedKings debut came out by Victor/JVC
records in Japan on
May 29, 2002 (Japanese has new sleeve done by Japanese girl artist) and
by Fogon Musica Distribution in Argentina on April, 2002 (license for
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Colombia). Fogon Musica version
contains three bonus tracks: Road Rage (Spanish
version) with special guests Ciro Pertusi and Mariano Martinez
from Attaque 77, I Don't Want To Grow Up and Motivate To Move. And
Beaver On My Mind is instead of UPS Girl!
Singer-guitarist Nick Cooper told me that the song Manuelita was written
for all the South American fans!!!!
Daniel Rey (producer of The Ramones, Misfits, White Zombie etc.) was
working on this album when happened the September, 2001 attacks on
NYC!... Original album sleeve is done by Eliott Mattice. I wanna say
public commendations for SpeedKings that I was included beginning on
their thanks-listing at No If's, And's Or But's album.
