Blondie is the eponymous debut album by Blondie, released in December 1976 on Private Stock Records. The first single \”X Offender\” was originally entitled \”Sex Offender\” but since radio stations would not play a song with such a provocative title, the band renamed the song. After disappointing sales and poor publicity, the band ended their contract with Private Stock and signed with Chrysalis Records in 1977. Chrysalis re-released the album in September 1977, along with the single \”In the Flesh\”. The album reached #14 in Australia, where the band had already had a Top 3 hit with \”In the Flesh\”. The album also charted at #75 in the UK in early 1979, where the band had become immensely popular. UPC: 600753550328
