Sire

Sire Records is an American record label founded by Seymour Stein and Richard Gottehrer. It was established in 1968 with the release of The Deviants' album "Ptooff!" and a distribution contract with London Records. In the late 1960s, Seymour Stein traveled to Europe and the Far East to sign progressive British and European bands that didn't have American label deals. Notable artists from this era include Renaissance, Climax Blues Band, and Focus, whose instrumental "Hocus Pocus" became Sire's first Top 10 hit.

In the mid-1970s, Sire Records played a pivotal role in the punk and NYC new wave scene by signing influential acts like *The Ramones*, *The Dead Boys*, and *Talking Heads*. This move solidified Sire as one of the first large independent labels to embrace these emerging genres. During this time, distribution changed hands multiple times, starting with London Records (1968-1972), then Dot Records/Famous Music (1972), followed by ABC Records (1974).

Warner Bros. Records signed a distribution deal with Sire in 1977 before eventually acquiring the label in 1980. It was during this period that Sire signed its most iconic artist, *Madonna*, who went on to become one of the label's biggest successes. Throughout the 1980s, many Sire albums were released through Warner subsidiary Reprise

Hailing from Forest Hills - a neighborhood of Queens, New York City (USA) - the Ramones were an American punk rock band formed in 1974. The original line-up consisted of singer Joey Ramone, guitarist Johnny Ramone, bassist Dee Dee Ramone, and drummer Tommy Ramone.

After Tommy left the band in early 1978, he was replaced by Marky Ramone. In 1983, Marky was fired and replaced by Richie Ramone. Elvis Ramone briefly filled in for two performances before Marky returned in September 1987. In 1989, Dee Dee left and was replaced by C.J. Ramone.

In 2001, Joey passed away due to Lymphoma. The following year, Dee Dee died in Los Angeles on June 5th. Johnny passed away in his sleep on September 15th, 2004. Tommy died ten years later on July 11th, 2014 – making him the last original member of the band to die.

The Ramones were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as performers in 2002.

Record Store Day is an annual event inaugurated in 2007 to "celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store". Held on one Saturday every April and every Black Friday in November, the day brings together fans, artists, and thousands of independent record stores around the world.
