Super-Clean copy of this Blondie eponymous debut.
Technically a re-press, since the original release was on New York-based Larry Uttal's Private Stock label in 1976. It was only when Chrysalis acquired the rights and re-released the album in 1977 that it became a commercial success.
Artist: Blondie

Vinyl: EX+ A fantastic condition copy. Vinyl is virtually un-marked and retains a remarkable lustre and sheen for its 38 years of age! Play-tested and reproduction is superb. It comes on the standard Chrysalis blue & white company design label with the white branding & butterfly logo, and black label-text. The labels are clean and free from scuffs, stains and blemishes with hardly any discernible spindle-wear. I reckon this album has not seen too much turntable action during its life.
Sleeve: Ex Super condition sleeve, survived remarkably well to be in this shape. Gloss finished card design with a classic colour portrait photograph of Debbie Harry and the band, dressed in black and white and lined up from right to left. Rear cover also sports a colour full-length photo of the band posing for the camera, underneath track-listing details and album credits. Structurally, the sleeve is like brand-new, with no splits, tears or creases. The edges remain crisp, the spine is solid and all the seams are securely stuck down.
It really is a super example of this Blondie debut. Not a super-rare item by any stretch, but I defy you to find one in as good a shape as this anytime soon!
