50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK! The debut Ramones album was released on Sire Records, 4/23/76. The iconic front cover was shot for just $125! The album peaked at #111 on the Billboard charts & sold just 6,000 copies, but received glowing reviews from critics.

Another “under-the-radar” guitar hero is gone! RIP Dave Mason, a crucial member of Traffic who helped produced their first two albums and Mason went on to a well-received solo career, too. COME ON, HE WROTE “FEELIN’ ALRIGHT?” Originally from Worcester, England, he lived in Southern California since 1969. #rip #davemason #traffic @irisrecords
