Live by Request is Blondie's entry in the A&E series, and it's got some truly excellent moments as well as some cringe-inducing ones. It should be said that this is not the original Blondie: only Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, and the incomparable Clem Burke remain from the original band. Even Jimmy Destri, who had been involved in the No Exit album, is gone again, but the band really hits on all cylinders, with lots of extended solos ("Rip Her to Shreds," "Rapture") and tons of   [ read more ]

Just as Blondie's second album, Plastic Letters, was a pale imitation of their self-titled debut, Eat to the Beat, their fourth album, was a secondhand version of their breakthrough third album, Parallel Lines: one step forward, half a step back.

Capitol's 2005 release The Best of Blondie is a repackaging of CEMA's ten-track 1999 budget-line collection The Best of Blondie; the only thing different is the cover art, which is more appealing on this latter-day reissue. Although it is missing some great songs, it does contain most of the band's biggest hits, including "Call Me," "One Way or Another," "Hanging on the Telephone," "Heart of Glass," "Rapture," and "The Tide Is High." While there are more comprehensive and more    [ read more ]
