Blondie celebrates 40th anniversary with double album
Written by admin on May 1, 2014 – 9:50 pm -Blondie are celebrating their 40th anniversary with a double album titled “Blondie 4(0) Ever”. The release will comprise brand new recordings of the band’s biggest songs on “Deluxe Redux: Greatest Hits,” and a collection of new songs titled “Ghosts of Download”.
Blondie began working on new material right after the release of their 2011 album “Panic of Girls”. Their 10th studio album, “Ghosts of Download,” produced by Jeff Saltzman, features collaborations with Harry and Beth Ditto (“A Rose By Any Name”), Miss Guy (“Rave”), Systema Solar (“Sugar on the Side”) and Los Rakas (“I Screwed up”).

The “Deluxe Redux: Greatest Hits” album cover features the iconic Andy Warhol “Debbie Harry” portrait. Among the tracks on the album are the groundbreaking rock-disco hybrid “Heart of Glass,” the equally influential hip-hop fantasia “Rapture,” the stalker-love song “One Way Or Another” and the lilting calypso “The Tide Is High.”
