Without having the US white label or test pressing or the picture disk, I like the non-white label US promo and the Japanese white label promo copies that I have the best. Parallel Lines [album]". deborah-harry.com. Archived from the original on February 4, 2014 . Retrieved February 4, 2014. Parallel Lines was a significant turning point for Blondie, though to be thoughtful, everyone should have seen this outing barreling at them like a suburban commuter train, a shift in the direction of more new wave pop oriented material, defined by a stylish blend of disco and radio friendly numbers that radiated with swirling synths, Chic induced guitar riffs, along with a relentless beat (drum machine) that stood in stark contrast to the nearly honey dripping sweetness of Deborah Harry’s vocals. VG+/VG+ & inner (needs a clean, graded record then sleeve - UK RRPG standards) offers welcome, please see other items for sale To be sure, Parallel Lines was resoundingly melodramatic and high octane, filled with musical and lyrical hooks, titled for two parallel lines of cocaine, with the record’s sugary goodness lasting just as about as long as it took the effect of those lines to melt away, leaving one attempting to regain that initial high, yet like the white powder, the effects of the music were fragile and just as short lived, leaving one feeling overstimulated for no good reason, sinister and entirely unsatisfied. Though that said, the album was a step out of the brooding artfulness of their previous outings.

Blondie - Parallel Lines - (Vinyl LP) | Rough Trade

Blondie's second studio album Plastic Letters was their last album produced by Richard Gottehrer, whose sound had formed the basis of Blondie's new wave and punk output. During a tour of the west coast of the US in support of Plastic Letters, Blondie encountered Australian producer Mike Chapman in California. Peter Leeds, Blondie's manager, conspired with Chrysalis Records to encourage Chapman to work with Blondie on new music. Drummer Clem Burke recalls feeling enthusiastic about the proposition, believing Chapman could create innovative and eclectic records. However, lead vocalist Debbie Harry was far less enthusiastic about Chapman's involvement as she knew him only by reputation; according to Chapman, her animosity towards him was because "they were New York. [He] was L.A.". Harry's cautiousness abated after she played Chapman early cuts of "Heart of Glass" and "Sunday Girl" and he was impressed. [2] Recording [ edit ]
