I've had this cd for a while but i'm just now really getting into it. It's pretty cool with a mix of new wave, rock and funk. I like Backfired, Military Rap, Surrender. Anyone else like this album?? I heard it wasn't received well when it came out.

I bought it when it came out, because it was produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards and I liked it a lot. I don't have it on CD, so it's been a while since I played it. I remeber liking Backfired and JumpJump. Coincidentally I am going to see Blondie for the first time on july 16th.

I still have my vinyl copy. The cover totally freaked me out as a kid. I like Backfired a lot (there's a 12-inch version of it that's worth tracking down too), but the rest of the album didn't wow me. I can listen to Debbie's voice sing almost anything, so it was cool, but it's not as good as it should be.

I don't really like this album. It's been a long while since I heard it so I may give it another shot some time, but I dunno. I thought for sure that Nile Edwards + Debbie Harry would knock my socks off. It was a let down for me.

Still her best solo album imo.

Perfect

I liked Rock Bird.

I love Koo Koo. The whole thing is very strange, but very appealing to me. It's definitely my favorite of her solo albums, and I rock it on CD, cassette AND vinyl!

I rocked it on cassette when I had a tape deck in my car.

Never saw it on CD???

what do you think is lacking in this cd? i must say i couldn't get into it at all until just this weekend and i've had it for 3 years but some of the songs are pretty cool.

Cinnie said:

nope, i'm afraid not.

dancerella said:

So the one you have... is it from Japan?

Moonbeam said:

U got da CD too?

dancerella said:

I don't know. After the brilliance of her earlier work, it just didn't grab me. But I have to admit that, other than Backfired, I haven't listened to it in a really long time. I'll give it another listen and see what I think of it.

By the way, I saw Debbie walking up 8th Ave. (in NYC) on Tuesday. She looked good.

Is it the album with the funky "The Jam Was Moving?"

I didn't think the CD was that rare- it's usually one of the only Debbie solo CDs that I see around! It has a "Backfired" 12" version as a bonus track as well!

Moonbeam said:

You see it used?

It's not like it was only available in Japan.. I was using that link to exaggerate.

But it DOES go for $45.00 on Amazon.

Cinnie said:

no, it's just a regular old copy.

Efan said:

that is very cool.

Cinnie said:

really? i got mine for about $5.

dancerella said:

damn.

I really have never seen it on CD before, even used.

Cinnie said:

I've seen it new for fairly cheap in quite a few places! Canada be hatin' on Miss Harry!
