They own the records already. Only two of them reach every station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free.

The map is the flattest contradiction of that I have drawn, because the rhythm section turns over repeatedly while the front two never move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot an algorithm - every connection on this map was made by hand, by an obsessive fan. It is also the only way to see how odd some of the guest credits are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContributing musicians on the map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoey Ramone and Johnny Ramone are credited on all fourteen albums. Dee Dee Ramone runs the first eleven and then appears once more after leaving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drum stool is where the map moves. Tommy Ramone plays the first three, Marky takes over, Richie Ramone holds three albums in the mid 1980s, and Marky returns for the rest. C.J. Ramone takes the bass for the last three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnd of the Century in 1980 is the strangest station on the print. Phil Spector produced it, and he brought his own session team with him, so Jim Keltner, Steve Douglas, Barry Goldberg and the Kessel brothers all appear on a Ramones record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePleasant Dreams was produced by Graham Gouldman of 10cc, who also plays guitar and sings on it. Russell Mael of Sparks sings backing vocals on the same album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDebbie Harry, Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson all turn up on backing vocals across the 1980s records, which puts Blondie and the B-52s on the same map as the Wrecking Crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalter Lure of the Heartbreakers plays additional guitar on several albums, and Ed Stasium adds guitar on three, one of them uncredited on the sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I make each print?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
