The Ramones First Album Tee 1976

The Ramones' 1976 debut album is the founding document of American punk rock. Sire Records produced limited promotional merchandise featuring Roberta Bayley's iconic CBGB photograph — the four leather-jacketed Ramones against a brick wall. The band's working-class Queens aesthetic — ripped jeans, leather jackets, sneakers — became the template for punk fashion worldwide. Original 1976-77 Sire Records promo tees on Hanes blanks are among the rarest punk artifacts. Value: $1,500–$5,000.
