Tuesday Christmas Cleaning and Tunes - 23/12/25


Blondie - Eat to the Beat. 

I dug this one out because despite the hits I don't really remember the rest. I adore the first two albums, from start to finish. Parallel Lines...hmm ok, it's a bit overrated imho. However, this fourth album, now I remember why it hasn't got much of a spin. Should we do punk, new wave, bad reggae, disco, glam rock? Fuck it, we'll do them all including the aptly titled track Sound A Sleep. Fuck me. I'm astounded this album spent a year in the US charts. 

I was gifted this and a bunch of other records whilst at uni by a mate whose mum worked at a library and were getting rid of their records. This copy has a Libraries Board of South Australia embossed in it.

Sunday Spring Clean and Tunes – 19/10/25


Blondie - Self Titled

This use to be my favourite Blondie album when I was a teenager. My favourite ultimately became Plastic Letters but I have such a soft spot for this. I bought my copy from DJ Ian (RIP). It was one of a handful of my first records bought.

This is a 1977 pressing on Private Stock, Australia release. $15 then too. Sheesh.
