The eponymous début album from Blondie was originally released in 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 controversial title, the band renamed the song. After disappointing sales & poor publicity, Blondie was dropped from the label. Chrysalis Records then signed the band & re-released the album in 1977, along with single Rip Her to Shreds. X-Offender was used as one of the B-sides to this single that starts with a seductive Debbie Harry speaking vocals to a beat reminiscent of a song by a girl group from the 1960 s. The other B-side is a romantic ballad In the Flesh, with backing vocals by songwriter Ellie Greenwich. Rifle Range was the UK B-side to Heart of Glass in 1979. In 2001 the album was reissued along with five bonus tracks. Out in the Streets, The Thin Line & Platinum Blonde are three of five tracks from a 1975 demo recorded by Alan Betrock. X-Offender & In the Sun are the A & B side from Blondies first single & are different mixes than the album versions. Posters Of Blondie
