DESCRIPTION: All Music Review by William Ruhlmann

Blondie turned to British pop producer Mike Chapman for their third album, on which they abandoned any pretensions to new wave legitimacy (just in time, given the decline of the new wave) and emerged as a pure pop band.

But it wasn't just Chapman that made Parallel Lines Blondie's best album; it was the band's own song writing, including Deborah Harry, Chris Stein, and James Destri's "Picture This," and Harry and Stein's "Heart of Glass," and Harry and new bass player Nigel Harrison's "One Way or Another," plus two contributions from non band member Jack Lee, "Will Anything Happen?" and "Hanging on the Telephone."

That was enough to give Blondie a number one on both sides of the Atlantic with "Heart of Glass" and three more U.K. hits, but what impresses is the album's depth and consistency -- album tracks like "Fade Away and Radiate" and "Just Go Away" are as impressive as the songs pulled for singles.

The result is state-of-the-art pop/rock circa 1978, with Harry's tough-girl glamour setting the pattern that would be exploited over the next decade by a host of successors led by Madonna.

Those who have bought off me before know that I do not add on any extras.

My prices are based on carefully averaged parcel weights because I use strong recycled cardboard.

LP weights & covers vary considerably, (it is rare that any two parcels are exactly the same weight)

BUYING MORE THAN ONE ITEM:

If you buy more than one item ebay will not automatically calculate the postage savings for combined parcels:

i.e., it costs the same to post 1, 2, or 3 singles to UK, Europe or ROW & 1, 2 or 3 LPs to UK, (see full chart below)

Please email to let me know after an item has finished if you plan to bid on subsequent items - then again when you’re ready for your Invoice, email to let me know & I can then adjust your postage savings.  THANK YOU

PLEASE NOTE: I NEVER USE ‘MAILERS’:

I MAKE VERY STRONG PARCELS USING RECYCLED CARDBOARD IN ORDER TO GIVE MAXIMUM PROTECTION IN TRANSIT
