Recorded in 1976, Blondie's self-titled debut was part of the New York City/CBGB's crowd's initial salvo of punk/new wave, radically different from anything in the American mainstream at the time. While other CBGB scenemakers strove for either artiness (Television) or primitivism (Ramones), Blondie was always about pure pop, served with a healthy dose of irony. Its early-'60s rock & roll/girl-group roots were never so apparent as on this album--"In the Sun" sounds like a classic slice of sunny '60s West Coast pop, while "In the Flesh" reaches even further back for a '50s ballad feel. The sly lyrics, Debbie Harry's knowing delivery, and especially Jimmy Destri's gloriously cheesy organ riffs make it apparent that revivalism was never Blondie's intention; the band simply used the past to hijack the punk present and lay claim to a new wave future. Over the next few years, countless groups would adopt the template laid down on the first couple of Blondie album

Review: "Acting like a soap opera queen..." - Blondie were a fascinating new wave band. And their self-titled debut album is the best place to start. This album was probably the band's most "new wave" sounding record. But even from the beginning, the band always cleverly mixed different musical genres into their songs. You can hear a touch of bluegrass on the sassy, "Little Girl Lies", and you can also hear a little bit of Southern California pop on "In The Sun" and "Man Overboard". Debbie Harry was and STILL is an accessible, outrageously talented singer/songwriter. Her voice can fluctuate between a soft, sexy alto on the deeply romantic, "In The Flesh". And then her voice can take on a feisty, soprano edge on my personal favorite, the deliciously snarky, "Rip Her To Shreds". Of course the rest of the band were extremely talented as well. Co-founder Chris Stein (Debbie's boyfriend at the time) demonstrates his genius brilliantly on the avant-garde, "The Attack of the Giant Ants" which is filled with trippy, sound-effects and a gorgeous piano solo at the end of the track. Keyboardist Jimmy Destri proved he always that effortless, pop sensibility and a flair for spacy synths on tracks like "Look Good in Blue" and "A Shark in Jets Clothing". Everyone KNOWS Clem Burke was the "brain" behind Blondie's signature sound. His drumming and timing were impeccable! Bassist Gary Valentine was also a vital part of the band, even though this was the ONLY Blondie record he is featured on. Valentine left the band a year later, but he still left us with a great track, the risqué opener, "X Offender". There isn't one bad song on Blondie's debut album. I also enjoy the incredibly strange, "Rifle Range" and the energetic, "Kung Fu Girls". This album was produced by Richard Gottehrer. He also produced the band's sophomore album, "Plastic Letters". I thought Gottehrer was an important stepping stone for the band. He really encouraged the band to stay true to their infectious sound. I like how the album has this cool, timeless edge. This record didn't make Blondie a household name, (that wouldn't happen until the release of "Parallel Lines") but every band has to start somewhere and what an incredible start it was. Enjoy!
Review: The music of my childhood - I listened to Blondie when I was maybe 12, and just returned to it recently. I was surprised at how well the music aged. Clem Burke’s drumming is still furious and driving, and of course Debbie Harry’s voice is still amazing. The remastered tunes sound great and still sound fresh to me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast Break
*by T***E on September 19, 2010*

This debut album is brilliant! Blondie captures that girl group sound that Phil Spector rode to fame with back in the 60's. However, this isn't Ronnie Spector with a studio band, Blondie is a band and this band complements it's lead singer with excellent songwriting skills and a musical backdrop that gives this project an extremely promising future. I've been playing this record to death - even went out and bought the vinyl version. The CD gets the edge because the bonus songs on this disc are fantastic! "Platinum Blonde", indeed!!!!
