This album contains In the flesh (a Sweet ballad) which is Blondie's first big charttopping hit in Australia. X-offender, Little girl lies, In the sun, Look good in blue are the inventors of girl power ! This album is just great and showcases the Blondie Roots before they made it real big!! I'm Glad it's remastered it contains interesting bonustracks like Platinum blonde, The thin line and Out in the streets. My Favorite Blondie album - with awesome extras. The first Blondie record is possibly also the best Blondie record. Nowhere else do you see the girl-group meets CBGB's sound so perfectly captured. And the closing "Giant Ants" is a classic track. But the real reason to write home about this CD is the bonus tracks. "Out in the Streets" is easily one of Blondie's best recordings, and the rest of the extras are nearly as great. My one complaint is the omission of the pre-"Heart of Glass" recording, "Once I Had a Love," which, chronologically speaking, belonged on this CD (all of the other 1975 demos are here). Instead it was added onto the deluxe edition of "Parallel Lines," which makes some sense I guess. This problem knocks a Five star album down to four, because every time I listen to this it bugs me. The best BLONDIE album! I don't agree with the other reviewer who said this is their punkiest album. BLONDIE was never punk, and this album wasn't their hardest. I do agree that it's their best, with PARALLEL LINES a close second. PLASTIC LETTERS & EAT TO THE BEAT tie for third in my opinion, and then EXIT, then AUTOAMERICAN, and do we even need to mention HUNTER? But this album is so consistently great. Songs like "Kung Fu Girls" and "Rifle Range" are as good as any pop song ever recorded, but it seems they've been completely forgotten. In fact, this whole album seems to be forgotten. There's a DVD I found that has some of these songs performed live. Look for it! The title is BLONDIE - THE BEST OF MUSIKLADEN Live (1978).
