The August Album Challenge: 21. Album by A Foreign Artist

The temptation here would be to go the easy route and post something from an American artist that I like, after all they are in a Foreign land compared to where I am at present in Wishaw, Scotland!

So I thought I wouldn't got the easy route at all and begun thinking who it might be good to spotlight today.

Would it be Métal Urbain from France? Kleenex/Liliput from Switzerland? The Saints from Australia? Die Toten Hosen from Germany? None of them will do so it's off to Japan!

Recorded as a celebration of 30 years as a band and a tip of the hat to one of their main inspirations for starting the band,  Osaka Ramones is a 13 track tour de force through some of the finest Ramones tracks.
