It's easy to picture; the deep mythology of pop music history assures that much. For nearly two decades, the bulk of Blondie's audio and visual archive sat inside.\u003cbr\u003eOne hundred reel-to-reel tapes, half a dozen cassettes, a few storage tubs crammed with records, bits of promotional flotsam, flyers, a stray Warhol print, and mirrored dressing room signage from four sold-out January 1980 nights at London's Hammersmith Odeon. All of it lay silent through twenty humid summers, twenty frigid winters, and 20,000 rodents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere were knives collected in Asia and sex worker advertisements pilfered from the UK's red telephone boxes of the late 1970s. In a corner, a dust-caked RIAA-certified gold record for Eat To The Beat reclined against a wall, its protective glass scarred by a bullet hole.“Iggy and I were shooting guns at a wall in my basement one night,” guitarist Chris Stein told us. “This was a casualty.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom this chaotic hoard of ephemera, this long-gestating project was born.\u003cbr\u003eOver the years, Blondie's many partner record companies have done an exemplary job archiving the band's recorded legacy, given the miles it's logged and the oceans it's had to cross. From Larry Uttal's Private Stock Records to Terry Ellis and Chris Wright's Chrysalis, which was absorbed by Capitol and then Universal, the band's reels have been moved, transferred, baked, re-boxed, remixed, and barcoded more than a few times. We pored over every foot of magnetic tape and, thanks to our brand new 24-bit, 192KHz transfers, have expanded the dynamic range of Blondie's six LPs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe've scoured the earth for era-appropriate photos, pic sleeves, lyrics sheets, fan club newsletters, postcards, jukebox strips, and even eight-track tapes. There will always be more to find. Whether it's a mislabeled cassette tape squirrelled away in a New Jersey garage, a previously unknown Thai 45 variant, or a roll of film excavated at the Long Beach flea market, slivers of Blondie will continue to poke into our collective unconscious until there ceases to be any consciousness to poke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat the seven members of Blondie set to tape over those first eight years remains among the most timeless music of its era, or any era. This is not hyperbole. Walk into a grocery store and Rapture fills the air. Spend an hour with any classic rock, '80s throwback, LITE FM easy listening, or rockin' oldies station and you will rediscover Heart of Glass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatch any given documentary on the birth of punk or hip hop, read any “Best Albums of All Time” list, and the stark three-color imagery of Parallel Lines will undoubtedly flash by. Visit any sports arena in the world and count the moments before you hear Call Me. Blondie has transcended the realms of mere bands, evolving out of pop and punk to become a vital strand of American music's core DNA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDeluxe Edition 8CD Box\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 1: Blondie\u003cbr\u003eX Offender\u003cbr\u003eLittle Girl Lies\u003cbr\u003eIn The Flesh\u003cbr\u003eLook Good In Blue\u003cbr\u003eIn The Sun\u003cbr\u003eA Shark In Jets Clothing\u003cbr\u003eMan Overboard\u003cbr\u003eRip Her To Shreads\u003cbr\u003eRifle Range\u003cbr\u003eKung Fu Girls\u003cbr\u003eThe Attack Of The Giant Ants\u003cbr\u003eX Offender (Intro)\u003cbr\u003eX Offender (Private Stock Single Version \/ Remastered)\u003cbr\u003eIn The Sun (Private Stock Single Version \/ Remastered)\u003cbr\u003eLittle Girl Lies (Private Stock Mix)\u003cbr\u003eIn The Flesh (Extended Intro)\u003cbr\u003eA Shark In Jets Clothing (Take 2)\u003cbr\u003eKung Fu Girls (Take 8)\u003cbr\u003eScenery (Plaza Sound Outtake)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 2: Plastic Letters\u003cbr\u003eFan Mail\u003cbr\u003eDenis\u003cbr\u003eBermuda Triangle Blues (Flight 45)\u003cbr\u003eYouth Nabbed As Sniper\u003cbr\u003eContact In Red Square\u003cbr\u003e(I’m Always Touched By Your) Presence, Dear\u003cbr\u003eI’m On E\u003cbr\u003eI Didn’t Have The Nerve To Say No\u003cbr\u003eLove At The Pier\u003cbr\u003eNo Imagination\u003cbr\u003eKidnapper\u003cbr\u003eDetroit 442\u003cbr\u003eCautious Lip\u003cbr\u003eDenis (Terry Ellis Mix)\u003cbr\u003eMoonlight Drive\u003cbr\u003eBermuda Triangle Blues – Flight 45 (Take 1)\u003cbr\u003eI Didn’t Have The Nerve To Say No (Take 1)\u003cbr\u003eI’m On E (Take 2)\u003cbr\u003eKidnapper (Take 2)\u003cbr\u003eDetroit 442 (Take 2)\u003cbr\u003ePoet’s Problem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 3: Parallel Lines\u003cbr\u003eHanging On The Telephone\u003cbr\u003eOne Way Or Another\u003cbr\u003ePicture This\u003cbr\u003eFade Away And Radiate\u003cbr\u003ePretty Baby\u003cbr\u003eI Know But I Don’t Know\u003cbr\u003e11:59\u003cbr\u003eWill Anything Happen\u003cbr\u003eSunday Girl\u003cbr\u003eHeart Of Glass\u003cbr\u003eI’m Gonna Love You Too\u003cbr\u003eJust Go Away\u003cbr\u003eOnce I Had A Love (Mike Chapman Demo)\u003cbr\u003eSunday Girl (French Version)\u003cbr\u003eI’ll Never Break Away From This Heart Of Mine (Pretty Baby) (Take 1)\u003cbr\u003eHanging On The Telephone (Mike Chapman Demo)\u003cbr\u003eWill Anything Happen (Instrumental)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCD 4: Eat to the Beat\u003cbr\u003eDreaming\u003cbr\u003eThe Hardest Part\u003cbr\u003eUnion City Blue\u003cbr\u003eShayla\u003cbr\u003eEat To The Beat\u003cbr\u003eAccidents Never Happen\u003cbr\u003eDie Young Stay Pretty\u003cbr\u003eSlow Motion\u003cbr\u003eAtomic\u003cbr\u003eSound-A-Sleep\u003cbr\u003eVictor\u003cbr\u003eLiving In The Real World\u003cbr\u003eCall Me\u003cbr\u003eSpaghetti Song (Atomic Pt. 2)\u003cbr\u003eDie Young Stay Pretty (Take 1)\u003cbr\u003eUnderground Girl\u003cbr\u003eUnion City Blue (Instrumental)\u003cbr\u003eLlámame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 5: Autoamerican\u003cbr\u003eEuropa\u003cbr\u003eLive It Up\u003cbr\u003eHere’s Looking At You\u003cbr\u003eThe Tide Is High\u003cbr\u003eAngels On The Balcony\u003cbr\u003eGo Through It\u003cbr\u003eDo The Dark\u003cbr\u003eRapture\u003cbr\u003eFaces\u003cbr\u003eT-Birds\u003cbr\u003eWalk Like Me\u003cbr\u003eFollow Me\u003cbr\u003eAutoamerican Ad\u003cbr\u003eI Love You Honey, Give Me A Beer (Go Through It)\u003cbr\u003eLive It Up (Giorgio Moroder Demo)\u003cbr\u003eAngels On The Balcony (Giorgio Moroder Demo)\u003cbr\u003eThe Tide Is High (Demo)\u003cbr\u003eSuzy \u0026amp;
