I didn’t grow up with Blondie. I came after all this and only knew of them in passing with a little growing admiration over the years. But wow! I just got my Blondie binge on and cannot believe how good they really are. I think Debrah Harry’s beauty was maybe a distraction for me from how amazing this band actually was. This drummer, Clem Burke, is as phenomenal as any drummer ever - Bonham, Kieth Moon, Jimmy Chamberlain, Ringo, Lars Ulrich, it doesn’t matter. I guarantee that anyone of them would welcome him into their ranks. And on top of all that the songs are freaking catchy and enjoyable.

Anything listed as 2002 Remaster are the Special Mixes from the 1981 Best Of Blondie Album. All other tracks are the original LP Versions from 2001 remasters.

track 9 + Krs one = greatest thing ever
