Back in 2012, CJ Ramone and long time Ramones crew member Gene Frawley came to us and asked us to help get his debut solo album pressed and out there, making sure CJ had records to sell when he hit the road. This wasn't a Ramones nostalgia trip-though of course CJ and his band obliged the fans with the requisite classics-this was a mission to write and record albums in his own right, that could sit proudly in a Ramones fan's collection; carrying on the legacy left by his fallen brothers. So, with the Pirates being the RAMONES diehards we are, it was a no-brainer!Without a label deal, CJ wrote and recorded his debut solo album, Reconquista, the old school, DIY way, with assistance from Steve Soto of the Adolescents and a number of other punk rock luminaries lending their musical chops. With an album that had the honesty and sound that so many Ramones copycats just never got right, along with instant classics like 'What We Gonna Do Now' and his heartwarming tribute to Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee, 'Three Angels,' CJ Ramone cemented his place in Ramones history. And it was only the beginning.In 2014, CJ hooked up with our friends down the street in San Francisco at Fat Wreck Chords. While Fat had released plenty of Ramones-influenced records over the years (Teenage Bottlerocket, Masked Intruder, etc.), they couldn't pass up the opportunity to release a record by an actual Ramone, and subsequently handled CJ's next three albums.CJ Ramone's second solo album, Last Chance To Dance, was recorded with an all-star backing band of Steve Soto and Dan Root (Adolescents), with David Hidalgo, Jr. (Social Distortion/The Bronx) on drums. With a sound and style true to the Ramones, CJ created a positively infectious punk rock record. Sometimes you just 'need a Ramones fix,' as Joey said, and CJ Ramone's Last Chance to Dance satisfies that craving in spades.American Beauty is CJ Ramone's third solo album and was recorded again with Steve Soto and Dan Root, with Pete Sosa (Street Dogs) taking over on drums. This effort crackles with the spirit of '76 and once again, the sound and vibe of classic Ramones records. CJ and his band toured the world extensively in between albums. Playing shows with the new generation of bands wasn't lost on CJ. He lent backing vocals to a track on a Night Birds album, and now, on his own record, got contributions from Big Eyes frontwoman Kate Eldridge and the horn section of Mariachi El Bronx on an unexpected and moving cover of Tom Waits' 'Pony.'As we hit 2018 and CJ geared up to record his fourth album (The Holy Spell...) and plan his final world tour before an unofficial retirement, he moved from his home of Long Island, New York, to our beloved San Francisco Bay Area. This afforded us the opportunity to see him more often and we got to talking about some special editions of his previous albums, in preparation for the intense touring schedule that was approaching. While Reconquista had been out of print for years and was an easy call, we thought Last Chance To Dance and American Beauty deserved the beautiful and collectible picture disc treatment too. With the blessing from Fat, we gathered new art for the b-side of each picture disc and put together this incredible set.As CJ has hit three continents so far this year (North America, Europe, Australia) and has two more still to go (South America, Asia), he took a small break to play a special set at our big Rock The Ship festival. We thought this was the perfect opportunity to move these picture disc sets from a 'tour-only' edition to worldwide availability. Keep in mind that these picture discs are strictly limited to 1,000 of each title, and will not be re-pressed

Good book …but some comments….
Format: Paperback
I too, have to agree with another reviewer giving four stars. I also noticed his comments on beautiful women and wondered how “Leslie” at home felt about it as well. And the wine he mentions far outweighed any reference at all to the necessary need for water on such a walk. Comments in the last few chapters on walkers who only walked the last few miles seemed a bit snarky. But he made me laugh out loud several times and I found it to be an enjoyable, entertaining read. I can only hope Leslie, at home, felt the same ! Having read many books on the Camino, this was a good read. His tragic experience earlier in life makes me give him a hug and big thumbs up for finding meaning in life and going for it. Thanks, John.

How One Journey Can Change You Emotionally, Spiritually, and Personally!!!
Format: Paperback
i've been interested in the Camino de Santiago for several years. I have seen several Youtubes on the Camino, plus read other books. Nothing has stirred me as much as this book. I felt like I had walked the entire Camino with John. I was nervous when he was nervous, laughed when he laughed, and cried when he cried. He absolutely captures the entire Camino, right to the end. I learned so much, not only historically, but also emotionally and spiritually. When I got near the end of the book, I didn't want to finish it and put it down, because I didn't want the journey to end!!! But I'm glad that I picked it up the next day and finished it, because the best part was at the end. The emotions were overwhelming to me. Great book. Now, I just have to put on my shoes and go (but not without proper preparations!!!)

The Best Narrative about the Real Camino
Format: Kindle
I have read many, many books about the Camino de Santiago and this is by far the best. It is so clearly written that I felt myself walking along with John Pearson. His description of every aspect of the Way is accurate and wonderful to read. I only walked the last 100 km, but feel now like I walked the whole way and enjoyed it without the blisters! If I were younger, I would definitely walk the entire way but am so glad John wrote his experience so that I at least can imagine what it was like. Thank you for the Most Excellent Book!

Finding God every 20 Miles
Format: Paperback
What an enriching experience it was to read John's journey on the Camino de Santiago! By the third day of reading John's experiences on the Camino, I realized how much I was looking forward to reading another chapter or two after dinner with my family. After reading his chapter entitled "The Whale in the Room," I was so moved that I shared what I'd read with my wife, Cathy and son, Alex and told them how blessed I was to have them safe and near me. What a magnificent allegory of life that the Camino de Santiago is for so many peregrinos! Thank you John for letting me walk nearly 500 miles in your Merrell Moab "moccasins!" And forgive me for earmarking a few pages along the way, I want to re-read those key pages with your wisdom until the end of my Camino on this earth. Buen vida y buen Camino Peregrino!

Insightful and off-putting
Format: Paperback
My husband and I are planning on walking the last 62 miles of the Camino. We are not going to be "real" pilgrims so I wanted to read books that would help me understand the experience. John Pearson did a good job of taking the reader along on his pilgrimage. But as a female who remembers how distasteful it was for old men to notice her, I couldn't understand the purpose of the descriptions of the physical appearance of the women he met. For readers wanting a taste of the journey, what did it add to include the description of a tattoo on the edge of a woman's breast and how many men were looking at it. So much of the book was thoughtful and deep and then all of a sudden there was a description of a woman as an object. Men looking at women is not news so it felt odd that the author added that detail throughout the book. If you are not bothered by the author's need to share his observation of women and how much wine he drank, it is an otherwise worthy telling of one man's epic journey on the Camino.
