Debbie Harry said in a statement, “It really is a treat to see how far we have come when I listen to these early attempts to capture our ideas on relatively primitive equipment. Fortunately the essence of being in a band in the early ’70s held some of the anti-social, counter culture energies of the groups that were the influencers of the ’60s. I am excited about this special collection. When I listen to these old tracks, it puts me there like I am a time traveler. As bad as it was sometimes, it was also equally as good. No regrets. More music.”

Pendant plus de 20 ans toutes les archives de Blondie étaient stockées dans une grange à Woodstock.
Dans cette grange, on y trouvait des bandes multi-pistes, des cassettes, des bacs à vinyles, des disques d’or, des flyers, des couteaux venus d’Asie, des pubs pour des numéros de téléphones roses, et plein d’autres choses tout aussi improbables.
C’est à partir de ce chaos, qu’est né Against The Odds 1974 – 1982, ce projet au long cours.

En plus de ces archives, de nombreuses recherches ont été menées pour retrouver des photos, des pochettes, et tous types de documents pour enrichir ce fabuleux projet.
Against The Odds 1974 – 1982, retrace la carrière du groupe avec de nombreux bonus (demos, outtakes, versions alternatives, titres inédits).

Ce coffret est le manifeste pop, du punk, rock, rap et funk de la fin des années 70 et du début des années 80 par le groupe le plus emblématique de cette période.
