Paley Brothers made in U.S.A

C'mon Let's Go, the track with Ramones backing up Paley Brothers, was never released as a single in the U.S.
But Sire records still hoped to get the song on the radio and put together a 12" radio sampler with three tracks from the movie soundtrack to Rock'n'Roll High School. The 12" has the Ramones movie-title track and I want you around on the A-sida and C'mon Let's Go on the B-side.




Songs: Rock'n'Roll High School/I want you around//C'mon Let's go

Format: 12"
Number: Sire PRO-A-805
Year: 1979
Country: USA


Did you know...
