Blondie | Against the Odds: 1974–1982 (Super Deluxe Edition) | 10LP + 10-inch Vinyl + 7-inch Vinyl

Blondie are an American band whose recordings connect rock, pop and dance influences. Debbie Harry’s distinctive vocals work with contrasting guitar, keyboard and rhythm-section arrangements, giving the songs both melodic hooks and individual performance character.

This super deluxe vinyl edition brings Blondie’s first six studio albums together with four LPs of outtakes and rarities, a ten-inch record and a seven-inch single. The recordings move from the band’s early New York sound into pop, disco and new wave. The official programme below separates each record’s sides, including the demos, alternate takes and short spoken or introductory pieces.
