Data Insight
Joey pulls ahead here with six of the fourteen to Dee Dee's five, the only album before 1981 where he does. Three tracks carry the band credit rather than a name, which starts a habit that runs through the next two records.
The 1977 second album, recorded at Sundragon in New York with Tony Bongiovi and Tommy Ramone producing.
