...but I didn't want to fork over the money a THIRD time for a Blondie best-of (ok, one of those times was a gift, but STILL!), just for the DVD.

Does anyone know if there might be a Blondie "Vision" DVD coming out in the near future without the "Sound"? I'd love to have those videos. I just can't deal with the waste of having another best-of CD I'll never ever touch.

At the very least, someone please help me justify myself into buying it.

There's a Greatest Hits video compilation with oodles of Blondie videos that was released back in 2002. It's quite good.

I had it in my hands and had to put it down. Sorry. I know I'm not enabling you much.

Anx, good thing you didn't buy the U.S. version. The UK version has two extra songs on the CD & the DVD: X-Offender & I'm Always Touched By Your Presence Dear

I have NO idea why those were left off, especially in favor of that mash-up.

GangstaFam said:

according to somebody who bought it on amazon.com, these two songs were hits in the U.K. only.

PhilG said:

Yeah, but they're such classics at this point, there was no reason not to include them.

GangstaFam said:

True...

PhilG said:

Why sell the U.S. fans short like that? As if because they weren't hits in the states, U.S. fans must hate those songs or something.

I know, it's lame. "I'm Always Touched..." is a contender for their best song.

I'm gonna listen to some Blondie right now. This thread plus the RRHF thing yesterday has inspired me.

sextonseven said:

What? Was it on TV? Did I miss something?

GangstaFam said:

No, but I saw reports on the news and read about it in the paper this morning. The ceremony will air on VH1 on March 21st.

sextonseven said:

Excellent. Can't wait!

GangstaFam said:

I heard this on the radio.Something about Debbie Harry not letting three of the original members play on stage during the RRHOF performance.

Moonbeam said:

Anx said:

Ahem. Platinum Collection.

U guys should buy the animated "rock n rule". Blondie does a few good songs from the movie, but no soundtrack was ever released

i used to dig that movie. iggy pop was the voice of the bad guy.

Anx said:

i actaully liked the songs in that movie, even the lou reed ones, but alas, nothing came out.

Anx said:

you and that pen0r!

There have been alot of Blondie music and video collections released. The Platinum Collection seems to be the most concise of their music, and the Greatest Hits dvd that came out a few years ago has most of their videos including X-Offender and I'm Always Touched By Your Presence Dear.

Have you see Debbie lately? She looks great, looking healthy and sporting reddish hair. I heard about them having some beef with certain bandmates back in 99. but not sure if that's still going on now for the RRHOF stuff. I hope they can put that behind them for a little while, so fans can celebrate them and their music.
