Morrissey Curates The Ramones is a compilation album by the American punk rock band the Ramones, compiled by British musician Morrissey. It consists primarily of songs from their first four albums, Ramones, Leave Home, Rocket to Russia, and Road to Ruin. While Morrissey initially wrote a negative review of the Ramones 1976 debut album in Melody Maker,[1] he was invited by the band's management to pick the tracks for the compilation.[2] The album was released on vinyl on November 28, 2014, and limited to 9,000 copies.[3]
