Editor's review
Blondie did everything a rock band could and many things it couldn't. They were glass-sharp but full of blue-collar muscle; their glissy guitars offered archetypes of '70s glam while their tricky beats built prototypes for '80s rap. On "Eat to the Beat," we rubberneck over the wild collisions.
Biography
Blondie's platinum-selling 1979 album, "Eat To The Beat" has been digitally remastered for a deluxe CD/DVD package to be released June 26 by Capitol/EMI. The collection presents for the first time on DVD the 12-track music video album the band created as a companion to the release, and the package includes liner notes by the album's producer, Mike Chapman.
"I seem to remember all of us feeling that perhaps this was the end," says Mike Chapman in the CD/DVD's liner notes essay. "Was this record good enough? Was this the record that the public was waiting for, or was it just the waste of seven sick minds?"
On Friday, May 25, Blondie will rock "TODAY"'s outdoor Rockefeller Plaza stage for the NBC Television show's Toyota Concert Series.
Debbie Harry will be performing songs from her forthcoming solo album on the "True Colors" tour in June. Eleven Seven Music will release Debbie's sixth solo album "Necessary Evil" on August 7.
