Our take
by Angus
If you stripped away Deborah Harry’s hypnotic vocals and Mike Chapman’s disco heritage in the producer’s chair from Blondie’s third full length offering, and replaced them with some gruff–throated crooner from one of NY’s dive bars, this could’ve been just another New York punk record.
Instead, we got one of the 70’s greatest pop albums, and also one of its most glamorous. Blondie managed so deftly to distill pop, rock, disco and even a little bit of punk’s spirit into a complete, cohesive whole; one which left a musical legacy that continues to inspire today.

Since many of our visitors are at the beginning of their vinyl voyage, we thought it'd be helpful to have a starter's compass.
