Previously unreleased Blondie demos “Puerto Rico” and “Once I Had a Love” (an early version of their hit “Heart of Glass”) offer a glimpse into the beginnings of a young punk band who would later become a dancefloor phenomenon. For a full deep dive into Blondie's pre-disco sounds, grab that full archival box set. It comes complete with the proto-new-wave band’s first six albums along with b-sides, rarities and more.
Plus, we celebrate Dinah Washington’s birthday, London band ALASKALASKA’s witty soundclashing style and post-punk girl group Mo-dettes’ 1979 debut.
