Originally published in a rare limited edition, <i>My Ramones</i> features more than 200 photographs from Danny's personal collection of one of the most loved and well-known bands from the last four decades.</p><p>Danny managed the band from the ground up, accompanying them across Europe and America, while also photographing them at work with fans and during more informal moments. Taken between 1975 and 1977, Field's photographs offer a rare insight into the lives of the band on tour, backstage and recording their first album. The images are further brought alive by his accompanying commentary and memories and recollections from Michael Stipe, Seymour Stein and David Johansen. This is a unique and special volume of a mythical time.</p><p>A legendary manager, publicist, journalist and label exec, <b>Danny Fields</b> (born 1941) was at the heart of every significant movement in rock music for two decades and was present for for the birth of punk in both America and the UK.
