Blondie releasing first-ever archival box set, Against The Odds 1974- 1982
08 June 2022
Blondie are releasing their first-ever archival box set.
'Blondie: Against The Odds 1974- 1982' will contain 36 previously unissued tracks and will be released on August 26.
The box set creates a near-complete document of Blondie's studio session before their 1982 hiatus.
Frontwoman Debbie Harry said: "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.
"Fortunately the essence of being in a band in the early 70s held some of the anti-social, counter culture energies of the groups that were the influencers of the 60s.
"I am excited about this special collection. When I listen to these old tracks, it puts me there like I am a time traveller. As bad as it was sometimes, it was also equally as good. No regrets. More music."
Guitarist Chris Stein added: "I am hopeful that this project will provide a glimpse into the 'process' and some of the journey that the song took from idea to final form.
