BEAUTIFUL BLONDIE but......
If this is the singles box where is ONE WAY OR ANOTHER or THE HARDEST PART ??? Love these boxes but there is no excuse for that. . . . . . . these box sets are delicious but the exclusion of 2 charted singles is sort of stupid. Great buy got this for 19. 99 so I am happy about that! Look for sellers!!!.


Great concept, cheap packaging
For over US$3,00 a single, you'd think they'd be in slim jewel cases. The outer box looks and feels great, but the singles themselves come in cardboard sleeves. Most of these tracks are available elsewhere, so anyone buying this collection is probably doing it for collection purposes. And as noted elsewhere, the omission of "One Way or Another" is quite glaring. For completists only. .


I Love These Singles Boxes
I have purchased singles boxes from the Clash and Duran Duran as well, already having all of the singles in my collection on various albums or compilations. Okay - I'm probably a sucker.

I just get a kick out of the original artwork on the singles sleeves, and having all the b-sides just like they were when originally released.

Besides which, you can't argue with the quality of the tunes here. One way or another, you'll be very happy you bought this collection.


WISH MORE GROUPS HAD THEIR SINGLES AND REMIXES IN ONE PACKAGE
THIS IS ALL THE SINGLES IN ONE PACKAGE AT A REASONABLE PRICE TOO BAD THEY DIDN'T PUT THEM ON FEWER DISCS TO SAVE SPACE.


For the Blondie fanatic; the ultimate singles collection!
Several group albums & three Debbie Harry solo albums later, I'm close to accomplishing my goal. After I got introduced to Blondie last spring with "The Curse of Blondie" I was in an all out search for everything Blondie I could consume. Though, on a many shopping trips to my local F. Y. E. store with my boyfriend, I saw this deluxe box set of Blondie's singles from their first self-titled album all the way through to 1982's "The Hunter", I had to have it. Though "One Way or Another" is a glaring omission, what you get still keeps this set with a five star rating.

I finally purchased it this summer & have to say that it was worth the price tag. You get all of the singles as they were presented in seven inch vinyl format, in a CD single format. This includes all the original artwork on the front & back of the original 45! You get many b-sides that were most likely unavailable from their first few singles off of "Blondie" & "Plastic Letters". You also get alternate versions of album tracks such as "Live It Up" from 1980's "Autoamerican", instrumental versions, twelve inch versions, French versions, Spanish versions, the whole lot basically!

Also, the singles come placed in beautiful box done up in 1977's "Parallel Lines" art design in chronological order. A booklet with color photo's of Blondie & Debbie is included as well. Of course the hit single "Maria" & subsequent singles from the 1999 reunion album "No Exit" are not here & neither are the singles from 2004's "The Curse of Blondie". But this set I believe was meant to highlight their peak period of singles.

I recommend this to the Blondie fan who may have these all on vinyl & wants them on CD, or for that new Blondie fanatic, who like me, had to have it all. I highly recommend. .
