Description

Unique unopened package of Testors cement for plastic models, measuring 3 x 5.75, signed in black felt tip by Johnny Ramone, Joey Ramone (adding the date, "92"), Marky Ramone, and CJ Ramone. In fine condition, with a couple light creases to the packaging.

According to Andy Gore: 'This is my personal homage to their classic controversial song 'Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue' which appeared on the band's debut album in 1976. I snuck the package of toxic Model-Glue past the security guards who were stationed right outside of the Ramones dressing room to protect the band and make sure weirdo fans like myself (who had a VIP All Access Pass) weren't sneaking in any contraband of sort could hinder the bands' performance that evening! Luckily Johnny saw me walking up to the backstage area and whisked me right into the dressing room thus avoiding any security searches that could have partaken! As we settled down in the dressing room I whipped out my package of Model Glue and had the whole band sign it for me. They got a big laugh that I went to all the trouble to get this item autographed and found it amusing that I would even think of such a strange thing for them to sign! This was signed backstage in 1992 and has been a great addition to my eclectic Ramones collection!'




From the personal punk rock archives of Andrew D Gore.
