"Beat on the Brat" sits on Ramones, the debut album Sire released on April 23, 1976, and the lineup on it is the four from that much-imitated cover: Joey Ramone singing lead, Johnny Ramone on guitar, Dee Dee Ramone on bass and Tommy Ramone on drums. The writing credit is split among Joey, Johnny, Douglas Glenn Colvin and Thomas Erdelyi, and Craig Leon produced, with Erdelyi as associate producer, Rob Freeman engineering and Don Hünerberg assisting.

Leon came aboard through the band's new manager, Danny Fields, and it was Leon who talked Sire president Seymour Stein into seeing them play. No fat, no frills: once the sessions started in January 1976, the Ramones needed just seven days and $6,400 to cut the whole record.
