4.0 out of 5 stars yeah but no but, 14 Mar 2006
By yformant - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
It's the best of Blondie, remastered, sounding great. The DVD allows middle-aged men to lust after Debbie Harry once again. But there's no love here. No sleeve notes, no lyric sheet, just a discography in the thin booklet. There's a new version of 'In the Flesh' which may be of interest to some and a disappointment to others who realise it's not as good as the original. And the final moments of the CD are completely ruined by the baffling decision to include a terrible remix of 'Good Boys' when the original is one of the best things they've done since their reunion and would have been incredibly welcome here as testament to their continued class. Then, to add insult to injury, it's rounded off by a disastrous mash-up of 'Rapture' and the Doors' 'Riders on the Storm'. Just what nobody ever wanted. What comes before is, of course, pure pop perfection that deserves to be packaged better. However, the inclusion of the DVD makes this the compilation to go for.

Goodness knows the record company doesn't deserve these four stars, but the (original) music deserves more...

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect, 25 Nov 2005
Disc one has all the hits, except for the original versions of "In the Flesh" and "Good Boys", which I think was a mistake. The originals are far better than the remixes.(For any Blondie fan, the new "In the Flesh" is worth it since it sounds completely different, its basically a new song) Fortunately the original versions are included in Disc 2:The Videos. There is also a great mash-up(I usually hate them but his one works well) of "Rapture" and The Doors "Riders on the Storm". Disc 2 has all the Hit Videos, but the entire Eat to the Beat videos could have been included as a bonus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another hits collection with a great DVD of videos ., 13 Dec 2005
By K. Eisenberger "dance music freak!" (Defiance, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the who knows how many Blondie collection this makes but this one is a bit different because you finally get a great DVD of their videos that are not held together with some stupid cabbie ruining the beginning of the videos. This is what should have been put out when EMI put out the Greatest Hits collection in 2002 but was not. In the US Capitol (the US EMI since in America EMI no longer exits) put out a similar cd/dvd of Pat Benatar hits and videos and Tina Turner as well. In the UK Blondie and EMI put this collection out because they are on tour this November and Decemeber and this collection will come out in the US next year before Blondie is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame . So far in the Uk it has done quite well.

So why buy a new HITS collection from Blondie. Well if you put on a new picture that I don't have on the cover I will buy it .Well this cover to the Sight & Sound edition of hits is from the photo shoot that came from the Plastic Letters shoot. If you read the Making Tracks book Debbie Harry talks about the photos taken with the pillow case and red tape as an outfit. Yes Debbie Harry is wearing a pillow case with red tape on it and makes it look so cool. When you buy the cd look under where the cd/dvd are held and you will more closely of what I am talking about. If someone can take a simple everyday bed linen item and use it for clothes and look increbible doing it then you know Debbie Harry is in a league of her own.

Now onto the music. The cd comes with basically every hit Blondie had and features 2 new tracks. I know most people go on at how good "Rapture Riders " is but it is more Jim Morrison than Debbie Harry. But it still works nonetheless. For me the best new track is the "In The Flesh" which is a brand new version with new vocals and a electro vibe too it. I know people are not liking it but trust me it works so well it is scary. The remix for "Good Boys" is the US only PROMO release by Sanctuary records that was issued to Club DJ's after the Norty Cotto US mixes were a top ten dance hit. There is a single mix to the Blow Up mix as well as a much better (Demonic Electronic Mix)that should have been put on here instead but the fact that this rare 12" mix is now available should be a collector's item. Plus what can you say to hearing "Call Me" , "One Way Or Another", "Sunday Girl" , "End To End" -- which would have been the 3rd single if Epic and Sanctuary would have gotten enough faith in their last album to keep trying for hits -- and "Maria" which is such an amazing song. All that is missing from this collection is the long promised to be issued "Studio 54" from 1997 that still sounds cool today. Oh well maybe in a few more years and another Blondie hits cd it will finally come to the light.

The DVD-- now you can watch Blondie's videos from the beginning to the last video "Good Boys" . Still the whole video to the other 8 songs off Eat To The Beat could have been issued as well as "Nothing Is Real But The Girl" or the remix videos for "Atomic" and "Heart Of Glass" could have been put on but this is a small complaint. Now you can see them all in their entirety and enjoy the face of Debbie Harry and the craziness of Clem Burke.

Overall this collection of DVD and Cd is worth the price. And hopefully when it comes to the US it will does as well. Anything with Debbie Harry is a five star event. A++++++
