I was hooked on the cassette album as a kid in the mid- 1980's

Wow! I have searched for this album to no end, and I found it today. I am so OVERJOYED! I remember listening to this when I was 14 and practically wore the cassette out listening to it. Somehow it got lost and I went the next 20 years without it. Recently I recalled how electrifyingly stimulating this album was to the brain and I did several random searches trying to find it. I could not recall the albums title nor the names of the musicians who created it, but remembered the photo on the front of the album. I was about to give up when I gave Amazon a try and WOLLAH...I have found it! Tears of joy came from my eyes while I was palying the samples. You know music is great when it makes you cry, this is one of my all time favorite albums.

This outstanding music came out in the 80's, the best era of music.  I was in high school at the time, and I love it!  I had this in a cassette tape and lost it..just purchased the CD.  Posted it on Facebook, and got SO MANY comments of friends that loved the Breakfast Club's music too!  Great memories:)

I remember the first time I heard "Cold sweat" on alternative radio after this album just released.  Once I found the cassette I was happy to learn that the rest of the album was at least as good.  This record started a life-long crush on Bjork that started when I was 15.  This is such an incredible album that I have owned it in three medial formats.  I really love the original release and clear sound on vinyl, and I'm a sucker for colored vinyl (this is really cool opaque lime green).  I'm hoping other records are released in collectors format.  Think I'll shop and see, right now

This audio cassette provides some great memories from about 22 years ago when I purchased the book and cassette as a set for my then 8 year-old son.  Fun to listen to it again.

I first bought this album as an LP in 1975, then an 8-track in '79, then a cassette in '86(twice because I damaged the first) When I wore out the cassette, I bought the CD.

Replaced cassette a long time ago.  This album still grabs me.  Every so often I listen to it.  In between I usually have read/listened to unabridged history books in between and some of these songs stir up different tangents of thought ...decades after I first heard it.  For an album to beckon me back on a regular basis 30 years after I bought it says something.

I wore this album out year ago. I made some terrible copies onto cassette and wore that out. To hear these songs clear and crisp again, it takes me back so many years. I love it! And what a deal!!

I used to listen to these as a child and now I am sharing them with my daughter. She really likes music, and I was so happy I found these again. Because my cassette tape versions were worn out!

I had this set with cassettes and decided to modernize it. I'm very fond of it!

I had purchased the cassette for my daughter when it first came out and we both loved it. After playing it for years it wore out and the tape just wouldn't play. I was happy to find this in CD and still love the music. Good CD

Loved listening to them in the old days...lost my cassette tape of them (I'm dating myself) so ordered the MP3 download.

I was driving home from a friends house and listened to this CD that I had stuck in my console. I remember purchasing 2112 on a whim, as an LP, in 1977( freshman year in high school). I played this over and over and made a cassette recording to play in the under dash player I had mounted in my dad's car. It brought back ALOT of memories of fun times and innocence, a time when there were no cell phones, internet, computers,CD's, high def. etc. Going to second base in the back seat of your dad's car was exciting and dangerous, hiding beers in the woods and lying about whose house you were sleepng at. This was truly played over and over and over, whether it was at a friends house on the turn-table singing along and trying to match Geddy's high notes or copied to a cassette recording handed from one friend to another. If you enjoyed this album in the past... its well worth breaking out again.. :)

Thank you Geddy, Alex and Neil for GREAT music !!

Heard it when I was 13 and experienced my first aural "trip". I am now 42, and I still love this band, even their early, somewhat jagged and more experimental work. But unlike the early stuff which has to grow on you (and then it won't let you go), 12 Dreams grabs you the instant you hear it. Both catchy and deep; a rare combination.
OK, so who cares what an old goat thinks? Well, my 16 year old son, Mr. Radiohead-I'm-Too-Cool-For-That-Old-Crap happened to hear me play it and went ape... He played it for some friends of his and now half his high school is grooving to this 30 year old music. Just awesome, and yes, a perfect headphone album.

I grew up listening to 70s & 80s music and it will always be one of my favorite types of music to listen too...back in the day when music was REAL!!!!!

I first heard the Ramones debut record in early 1977, shortly after reading a review of them in a music magazine (I think it might have been Trouser Press or perhaps Hit Parader) when I was 15, and I was blown away by its stripped down sound. Hearing them made me an instant fan, as I suspect it did for many others. I remember just loving the Ramones' sound and their twisted sense of humor, not to mention their look (kudos to Roberta Bayley and Arturo Vega for the band photos), and beginning with them, embracing the punk revolution as a breath of fresh air. Here indeed was a band for kid who grew up on Mad Magazine, Famous Monsters of Filmland, comic books, Ed Sullivan, and late 60s bubblegum, and who came of age in the middle of the anomic 1970s.

Here the Ramones are sounding extremely stripped down and raw. Recorded for just a few thousand bucks (cheap even by mid 70s prices) the raw sound is a perfect compliment to these songs - some of the Ramones great classics. Songs like Blitzkrieg Bop, Beat on the Brat, 53rd and 3rd, and I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You have well stood the test of time. And with a cover of the oldies song Let's Dance, the Ramones link themselves to rock's glorious past, its transistor radio era.

In short what we have here is the start of a musical/cultural revolution.

I had the good fortune of seeing the Ramones live twice (once in 1978, with a teenage Joan Jett and the Runaways the opening band). They were just as incredible live as they were on record. I also remember the thrill of running into Joey Ramone in lower Manhattan one afternoon; I wish I still had the autograph which I got from him, but it's gone. At least though I still have my records.

Flash back to my youth. Used to listen to it continuously on an 8 track in a '64 Acadian my friend drove.

I had this on an 8 track back in my high school days, it was one of my favorites. I got the CD and listened to it and it was almost like going back to 1975. I even remembered most of the words. Great quality sound, probably better than what I used to listen to on that 8 track!
