Platinum [Capitol] [PA] [Digipak]

Performer: Blondie
Distributor: EMI Music Distribution

Notes: As part of EMI's Platinum Collection, Blondie are featured on previously released tracks taken from the band's stint with Chrysalis in the late '70s and early '80s. Among the 12 tracks are the original versions of "The Tide Is High," "One Way or Another," and "Union City Blue." Unfortunately, "Call Me [Debbie Does Dallas Mix"] and "Rapture" are special disco mixes. Best to stick with The Best of Blondie on Chrysalis. ~ Al Campbell

Although the press and public were initially focused on singer Debbie Harry's model-like good looks, Blondie was one of the first new wave bands of the 1970s to experiment with other musical styles. Beginning as part of the '70s CBGB scene in New York, the band experienced massive commercial success when they merged their '60s girl-group-influenced punky pop with disco, reggae, and rap. After the group disbanded in the early '80s, Harry went on to a solo career and acted in numerous films. Blondie had a successful reunion in the late '90s, touring and releasing an album of new material that showed they were far from done.
