 PARALLEL LINES (No.1 UK, No.6 US '78). This was the album which effectively broke Blondie on a worldwide basis due to no less than four absolute smash hit singles contained within - the rousing "Picture This" (No.12 UK '78), the frenetic "Hanging On The Telephone" (No.5 UK '78), the disco-pounding international smash "Heart Of Glass" (No.1 UK, No.1 US '79) and the merry "Sunday Girl" (No.1 UK '79).

"PARALLEL LINES made Blondie one of the biggest international acts towards the end of the 1970's and bestowed respectability on this former New York punk band fronted by an ex Playboy bunny girl. PARALLEL LINES is pretty much the pinnacle of the group's career and is almost a greatest hits package in itself!

180g Vinyl!

Parallel Lines is the third studio album by the American rock band Blondie, released in September 1978 by Chrysalis Records. The album reached #1 in the United Kingdom in February 1979 and proved to be the band's commercial breakthrough in the United States, where it reached #6 in April 1979. As of 2008, the album had sold over 20 million copies worldwide. This album features one of their all-time biggest hits "Heart of Glass."

In February 1978, Blondie released their second studio album Plastic Letters. It was their last album produced by Richard Gottehrer whose sound had formed the basis of Blondie's new wave and punk output. During a tour of the west coast of the US in support of Plastic Letters, Blondie encountered Australian producer Mike Chapman in California. Peter Leeds, Blondie's manager, conspired with Chrysalis Records to encourage Chapman to work with Blondie on new music. Drummer Clem Burke recalls feeling enthusiastic about the proposition, believing Chapman could create innovative and eclectic records. However, lead vocalist Debbie Harry was far less enthusiastic about Chapman's involvement as she only knew him by reputation; according to Chapman, her animosity towards him was because "they were New York. [He] was LA." Harry's cautiousness abated after she played Chapman early cuts of "Heart of Glass" and "Sunday Girl" and he was impressed.

Let’s face it: this is Blondie’s world and we just live in it. For the last four decades, Blondie has become and still remains a true national treasure; a punk band from New York City whose influence both shaped and continues to inform the worlds of music, fashion and art. Debbie Harry and Chris Stein have kept their ears to the ground, creating trends, never following them. They helped push punk onto the dance floor at the dawn of the new wave era and introduced a wider audience to hip-hop sounds, all the while building a catalog of enduring pop hits along the way.

"...it wasn't just Chapman that made Parallel Lines Blondie's best album; it was the band's own songwriting...what impresses is the album's depth and consistency...The result is state-of-the-art pop/rock circa 1978, with Harry's tough-girl glamour setting the pattern that would be exploited over the next decade by a host of successors led by Madonna." -William Ruhlmann, allmusic.

Blondie Blondie 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION AUDIOPHILE LP

180g Vinyl Reissue!

Blondie is the eponymous debut album by American rock band Blondie, released in December 1976 on Private Stock Records. After disappointing sales and poor publicity, the band ended their contract with Private Stock and signed with Chrysalis Records in 1977. Chrysalis re-released the album in September 1977, along with the single "In the Flesh." The album reached #14 in Australia, where the band had already had a Top 3 hit with "In the Flesh." The album also charted at #75 in the UK in early 1979, where the band had become immensely popular.

Let’s face it: this is Blondie’s world and we just live in it. For the last four decades, Blondie has become and still remains a true national treasure; a punk band from New York City whose influence both shaped and continues to inform the worlds of music, fashion and art. Debbie Harry and Chris Stein have kept their ears to the ground, creating trends, never following them. They helped push punk onto the dance floor at the dawn of the new wave era and introduced a wider audience to hip-hop sounds, all the while building a catalog of enduring pop hits along the way.

"The whole point was that you could take Blondie either way, and lead singer Deborah Harry's vocals, which combined rock fervor with a kiss-off quality, reinforced that, as did the band's energetic, trashy sound. This album, released on independent label Private Sound, was not a major hit, but it provided a template for the future." -William Ruhlmann, allmusic.

Blondie Plastic Letters 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION AUDIOPHILE LP

180g Vinyl Reissue! 

Plastic Letters is the second studio album by American rock band Blondie, released in February 1978 on Chrysalis Records. It was the second and final Blondie album to be produced by Richard Gottehrer. "Denis," a cover of the Randy & the Rainbows' 1963 hit "Denise," was a hit all over Europe, reaching #2 in March 1978 in the United Kingdom, and was also a hit in Australia, reaching #19. "(I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear" was the second single from the album, reaching #10 in the UK in May 1978. The song was written by the band's original bass guitar player Gary Valentine, shortly before he left for a solo career prior to the album being recorded (which necessitated Chris Stein playing bass as well as guitar). During recording, Blondie were still at their old label, Private Stock Records. The album peaked at #10 in the UK and has been certified Platinum by the BPI.
