NO, YOU’RE NOT JUST “DREAMING”!
CAPITOL/EMI TO RELEASE BLONDIE: SINGLES BOX
Hollywood, CA – July 5, 2004 – On August 10, Capitol Records/EMI will release a new, specially-packaged Blondie: Singles Box, featuring the influential punk/new wave band’s top hits and B-sides, from “Rip Her To Shreds” to “Warchild.” The flip-top box, packaged with 15 individual CD sleeves replicating the original 7″ artwork, is a must-have for fans old and new.
The Blondie story began in 1974, when Deborah Harry and her partner, guitarist Chris Stein formed a new group out of the remnants of New York club outfit The Stilettos. Joined by Clem Burke, Gary Valentine and Jimmy Destri, Blondie built up a sizeable underground following and were eventually signed to Chrysalis in September 1978.
The feisty ambition of ex-Playboy bunny Deborah Harry and her mop-topped male colleagues paid off. A quarter century after their debut, Blondie is rightly acclaimed as one of the most influential bands of its generation. Blondie also became the most commercially successful act of the era’s punk and new wave scenes, enjoying 14 top 10 singles in the U.S., six of which were number ones.
