Long weekends call for extra coffee and records!

I picked this one up on Saturday afternoon from Lennys. It was a real high fidelity record store moment with everyone kinda talking about music in the shop. I love record stores when it's like that.

Anyway this has become my favourite Blondie album over the years (the first one was my favourite for a long time) but I never had a copy on vinyl strangly. Always in terrible condition or too expensive.

I got into Blondie when I was 16. I loved 60s girl groups and was just starting to explore 70s punk and this felt like the perfect blend.

I have seen them live once in 2003. This line up included Chris Stein who rejoined for the tour. It was probably a bit late to see them to be honest. It started badly and my heart sank. But then Debbie seemed to feel more comfortable once the enormous wig she was wearing came off and the show rocked with thebbie theatre pumping.

Featuring some wild keys and melodies, there are some fantastic tracks that don't get as much love as the hits. To me it was like a soundtrack to a trash B movie and that cover is fire.
