Blondie´s Parallel Lines (33 1/3)

Sobre el libro Blondie´s Parallel Lines (33 1/3) de Kembrew McLeod publicado por Bloomsbury Academic al 2016:

Blondie´s ParallelLines mixed punk, disco and radio-friendly FM rock with nostalgic influencesfrom 1960s pop and girl group hits. This 1978 album kept one foot plantedfirmly in the past while remaining quite forward-looking, an impulse that canbe heard in its electronic dance music hit "Heart of Glass." Bubblegum musicmaven Mike Chapman produced ParallelLines, which was the first massive hit by a group from the CBGB punk underworld.By embracing the diversity of New York City´s varied music scenes, Blondieembodied many of the tensions that played out at the time between fans ofdisco, punk, pop and mainstream rock.
