For me, I'd rank those albums something like:

Panic of Girls
Ghosts of Download
The Curse of Blondie
No Exit

The fact that 3 of those still are not on streaming is a crime!

I agree that No Exit has some good songs but mostly it's not a great album. The Curse was much better and I really love the variety on Ghosts. Panic of Girls though, I think, is a really strong record. 'What I Heard' should have been a massive hit, it's as good as many of their other hits.

I’ve never heard Panic as it’s not on streaming. Mother is the only song I’ve heard. I’ll probably pick up the cd (shallowly the artwork has always put me off)
I think Winter from Ghosts of Download is classic Blondie

I wish they would announce the tracklist for the archival box set out in August.

There is some confusion about the contents and if it will be the same as the "musical elements" included with the deluxe comic book.

Same. I bailed on buying the deluxe comic book as they cant say what's on it.

The new live (album? or EP?) isn't too bad. I think the new arrangement of The Tide is High was good and benefitted from the extra musicians and background vocals.

Apart from a few dodgy notes and odd phrasing here and there, it was a good listen overall. Nice to hear Long Time amongst the classics. Heart of Glass was rather nice too.

I wish Debbie would stop trying to sing falsetto though.

Although her solo years are nowhere near as well regarded as the Blondie stuff, I would have thought there would have been something reissued by now. My no.1 wish would be for a Debravation reissue as that is quite scarce on vinyl now.

Coloured vinyl, with bonus tracks, new liner notes, unreleased stuff, or just a no-frills release - just give us the scraps we deserve, Debbie.

I recently managed to track down a near mint copy of the Summertime Blues CD single for £10! I was so happy.
