All tracks have been digitally remastered using 24-bit technology.
1979's EAT TO THE BEAT was Blondie's fourth album, and the first to follow the enormous commercial breakthrough of 1978's PARALLEL LINES. Though its singles, the brilliant "Dreaming" and the disco-influenced "Atomic," were lesser hits than PARALLEL LINES' "Heart of Glass" and "One Way or Another," EAT TO THE BEAT's success cemented Blondie's status as by far the most commercially viable of the first wave of New York punk bands.
By this time, the band's always-tenuous connection to punk was barely noticeable; the artsy "Victor," the Springsteen-ish "Union City Blue," written for the soundtrack of Debbie Harry's first film, Steeltown, and the reggae-tinged "Die Young Stay Pretty" are early evidence of the sort of casual genre-hopping which defined the band's next album, AUTOAMERICAN. The ripping title track, "Accidents Never Happen" and the dreamy "Living in the Real World," however, are more typical Blondie fare.

Blondie Eat To The Beat Songs Eat To The Beat Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  BLONDIE; EAT TO THE BEAT... PAOLO
I DID OWN IT ON VINYL AND NOW RECLAIMED WHAT IS MINE.
CLASSIC MUST HAVE FOR MUSIC AFFICIONADOS AND BLONDIE FANS ALIKE.
THIS IS DEFINITELY A ‘NEW YORK SOUND’.
SOUNDS GREAT. PROOF THAT THE DIGITAL RE-MASTERING DID NOT HARM THE INTEGRITY OF THE TRACKS. THERE IS STILL A NUANCE OF NEW WAVE PRESENT IN THE MELODIES. CAN STILL BE PLAYED ON THE RADIO (YES, BOYS AND GIRLS... IT IS RELEVANT).
THE CD CONTAINS THE ORIGINAL TRACKS AS THE LP DID, RETAINING THE HARD TO FIND GEMS (SHAYLA AND A VERY ‘60'S RETRO TRACK CALLED SLOW MOTION ) THAT I ADORE. (MY FAITH IN COMPILATIONS HAS NOT IMPROVED BUT THEY DO HAVE THEIR PLACE).
ADDITIONAL TRACKS (NOT ON THE ORIGINAL VINYL) ON THE END ARE A GOOD THING FOR THE HARD CORE BLONDIE FANS AND ARE ENTERTAINING NO MATTER IF YOU’VE READ THEIR BOOK OR NOT. (BLONDIE; MAKING TRACKS).
VERY PLEASED THAT THE COVER AND LINER NOTES ARE INTACT AND UPDATED WITH THE NOTES FROM MARK CHAPMAN.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No New Wave Classic!
This is by far the best Blondie album ever, & one of the best new-wave cd's (along with B-52's "Wild Planet" & Depeche Mode's "Speak & Spell").

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No BEST BLONDIE ALBUM EVER!!!
No other Blondie album can ever top this one! It has great music, great lyrics and some of the best songs that they ever recorded, period! So don't miss this one even if you don't like some of their albums because "Eat to the Beat" is the cream of the crop. Pure Rock at it's best!

Heart's sophomore effort, 1977's LITTLE QUEEN, was another strong and classic release for the band, despite the fact that they were caught up in a nightmarish legal wrangle with their former record label (who issued the half-finished album MAGAZINE shortly after LITTLE QUEEN, against the band's wishes).
The raging and venomous "Barracuda" remains one of Heart's best rock tracks, while the gorgeous "Love Alive" is an engaging acoustic number. With LITTLE QUEEN, Heart solidified their standing as one of the late-'70s biggest hard rock acts, possessing the perfect mixture of good looks and great hooks.
The 2004 24-bit remastered and expanded version of Heart's seminal 1977 album, Little Queen (the band's major-label debut), is a revelation. While tunes like "Barracuda" and "Kick It Out" have been classic rock radio staples since the dinosaur age, they've never lost their edge or appeal, and here they roar with new power. The reason for that is on this recording. Those two are the sanctioned hard rockers here, and with the guitars layered impeccably and the drum and bass thud giving the power riffs enough of a bottom to keep them strutting into the stratosphere, it's actually the midtempo tunes and ballads that reveal the depth and vision of the Wilson sisters' gift for writing great songs and hooks. With producer Mike Flicker, they put together a ten-track masterpiece. Certainly the Led Zeppelin influence is everywhere, but there was a lot more than Soft White Underbelly worship at work here. A fresh listen to "Keep My Love Alive," with Nancy's droning guitar riff and textured acoustic guitars wrapped so elegantly around Ann's voice (before her beautiful flute lilts in the turnarounds), offers a multidimensional portrait of Heart as songwriters ...

Brian Wilson admired him. Phil Spector was scared of him. In the roll-call of 1960s Hollywood record men, quixotic producer Gary S. Paxton was one of the most remarkable. This 32 track anthology not only traces his career, but also includes early and/or
As something of a less ruthless, more musically inclined Kim Fowley (with whom he briefly partnered in his early career), Gary Paxton was an interesting jack-of-all-trades. Working mostly in Hollywood, between the late '50s and late '60s he had his hand in innumerable records as a producer, songwriter, and performer. This compilation gathers 32 such tracks from that time, some of them previously unreleased, and most from very obscure singles, though it does include several hits with which he was involved: Skip & Flip's "It Was I," the Hollywood Argyles' "Alley-Oop," and Bobby "Boris" Pickett's "Monster Mash." Alec Palao's 28-page liner notes are so thorough, and so evocative of the early-'60s anything-goes ...
