Blondie

Blondie is the debut studio album by American rock band Blondie, released in December 1976 by Private Stock Records.

The first single "X Offender" was originally titled "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 mid 1977. The album was reissued on the Chrysalis label in September 1977, simultaneously with Blondie's 2nd album Plastic Letters, and the single "In the Flesh". Blondie reached No. 14 in Australia, where the band had already had a top-3 entry with "In the Flesh". The album also charted at No. 75 in the UK in early 1979, where the band had become immensely popular.
