Blondie – Blondie

Great pressing, super flat, zero Clics or pops, and cutting is LOUD! Great dinamics and stereo separation and location of instruments. A very nice pressing! Blondie sounds better than ever!.

It is very clear and full sounding the tape sounds wonderful

This A1/B1 pressing has a flaw during the song A3 In The Flesh. There is a small jump during the second verse, after the lyric "Now you're out of town"

Great pressing. Really solid, quiet pressing of an underrated album.

This Canadian first pressing on the Private Stock label is very dynamic, transparent and punchy. I picked this up because the US Private Stock pressing, which is supposed to be eons better than the Chrysalis reissue, has become very expensive. This is an excellent alternative.

I’m very pleased with all of these Blondie reissues. They’re not particularly audiophile productions to start with, but even so, they sound good. I usually play Plastc Letters or Autoamerican when I play Blondie, but I stuck this on earlier and really enjoyed it. As debuts go, it’s a great piece of New York art rock. I really like Look Good In Blue, Rifle Range, and Man Overboard. X Offender is classic but I prefer the Private Stock version.

4/5

Never noticed the mis-spelling of “shreds” before. I’m assuming it’s an error, yet it appears to be on all the releases so ……….

Any of the Private Stock pressings are highly undervalued, and sound amazing. Hold on tight if you have a NM copy. There are far less examples than people think. One of the great debut albums in history. A real game changer along with some of the other NY bands of the time.

track listing on front cover does not correspond to actual running order on album.

Great sounding pressing for the 1970's - excellent balance and separation, this is the pressing to own.

Extremely quiet vinyl and great sonics with dynamics highs and deep bass. Really nice pressing.
