Blondie by Shig Ikeda
Blondie have shared a previously unreleased recording of Moonlight Drive.
Blondie have made the most of their first archival box-set collection by packing up 124 tracks – including 36 previously unissued – for release on August 26th.
Blondie: Against The Odds 1974-1982 will document the history of the band through their first six studio albums – building up to the breakthrough of Parallel Lines and Heart Of Glass, concluding with The Hunter and their subsequent hiatus – via demos, alternate versions and studio outtakes.
“It really is a treat to see how far we have come when I listen to these early attempts to capture our ideas on relatively primitive equipment,” Debbie Harry responds.
“Fortunately the essence of being in a band in the early 70’s held some of the anti-social, counter culture energies of the groups that were the influencers of the 60’s. I am excited about this special collection.”
“When I listen to these old tracks, it puts me there like I am a time traveler. As bad as it was sometimes, it was also equally as good. No regrets. More music.”
