Ramones, Smiling, New York City, 1976

Photographed in New York in 1976 during the original session that produced the cover of the Ramones’ debut album, this image presents the band in an unusually relaxed and candid moment.

Roberta Bayley’s close involvement with the CBGB scene positioned her as one of the principal visual chroniclers of early punk, producing photographs that now define the historical record of the movement.
