Essential

Until 1978, <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/blondie">Blondie</a> was perceived mostly as a '60s-referencing, British-invasion-meets-girl-groups band. With veteran producer Mike Chapman at the helm for their third album, though, everything changed for this group bred from the New York punk scene.

Honing in on <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/blondie">Blondie's</a> strongest points - Debbie Harry's come-hither vocals and Clem Burke's powerhouse drumming - Chapman helped recast the band to the power pop side of new wave, and with impressive results. Driven by the punk-meets-disco chart-topping hit, Heart of Glass, and the herky-jerky One Way or Another, as well as a muscular cover of the Nerves' Hanging on the Telephone, Parallel Lines established <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/blondie">Blondie</a> as major stars.
