Ramones "Leave Home" is their second studio album, released in 1977 on Sire Records. The album was reissued in 2001 with live bonus tracks on Rhino Records, Warner Strategic Marketing and Sire Records.

The song "Carbona Not Glue" was taken off the album because it potentially violated the trademark of the stain-removal product Carbona. The track was replaced with "Babysitter" in the United Kingdom and "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" in the United States (prior to its inclusion on Rocket To Russia); both "Carbona" and "Babysitter" were included on the 2001 edition.
