Dee Dee’s last full album of recordings, “Greatest and Latest” (G&L) released in 2000, was originally released on the Conspiracy Music label and which has since became part of the Triple Pop.

G&L managed to capture Dee Dee in his own unique voice doing his version of The Ramones classic hits.  Produced by Chris Spedding (who produced the first Sex Pistols demos) G&L remains a classic for fans.

The “Greatest & Latest” album will be re-released by Dee Dee’s estate in the coming years.
