Blondie (Vinyl LP) Folk & Americana

Blondie (Vinyl LP) Folk & Americana'Blondie' is the eponymous debut album by Blondie, released in December 1976 on Private Stock Records. This album sounds like 1966 that blissful year in which so many eclectic sounds, from Motown to Go Go Beat and British Invasion, to early Mod and pre Psychedelic, co existed on the airwaves. 'X Offender', 'Little Girl Lies' and 'In The Flesh', which open the album, all sound like Phil Spectorish girl group recordings, albeit with spicier lyrics.
