Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great package with a lot of content for a very fair price. The DVD is a nice snap shot of Blondie in their more formative years playing at the legendary NYC punk venue CBGB's. The greatest hits is rerecorded but they are classics for a reason. The new album is an instant party record that may not appeal to all Blondie fans but should appeal open minded ones.

Very nice remixes of classic songs, sonically superior to the originals. The new songs bring the spirit of Blondie into today's music scene and they continue to be relevant.

I grew up in the 80's and in a fairly diversified musical upbraid going. That being said, my tastes are fairly eclectic, and this collection fits right in. A blend of new, old and live material is a cool find.

This is a good retrospective of Blondie's Music along with other rarities that haven't been available until now.

Bought this collection and got to see Blondie shortly thereafter. Made me appreciate her even more! Some infamiliar gems on here.

Great new CD with a bonus CD of greatest hits with new recordings and great concert DVD couldn't get any better

You can't possibly go wrong this set if you are a Blondie lover! All of her greatest & more!!

Great song list , Beautiful Blondie photos included! This set is a must have!!

Very nice package for the money. Redoing the songs on the greatest hits shows Blondie still has her pipes. New album has some gems.

A definitive collection of awesome classic sounds that rock

this set came with greatest hits redux ,ghosts of download and a dvd live at CBGB 1977. the set is awesome I enjoyed reliving her music as well as her newest stuff.

Glad Best Buy still carries our rock CD's.... They also take requests!!!!

great cd, great price at best buy. wow the music is so good

ALWAYS LOVED THIS BAND.................GREAT!......

Okay, seriously, what the heck happened to Blondie? I'd heard the band hasn't sounded like it did in the '80s and '90s in quite some time, but what the heck is this garbage? For starters, you have several perfectly good greatest hits collections out on the market, so why re-record a bunch of your biggest hits with sub-par vocals that are buried in the instruments to hide the fact that they don't sound like they used to (with the exception, of course, for "Maria," which was not re-recorded). At best, I would give the Greatest Hits Deluxe Redux four stars; on the whole, the songs are there, but the vocals just aren't where I think they should be for a former powerhouse band like Blondie. That brings me to Ghosts of Download. What on Earth is this pile of trash? I realize Blondie aren't the first post-punk/new wave band to dabble in other genres (in fact, Blondie have been rather experimental over the course of their career), but this thirteen-track pile of refuse borders on a lackluster dancehall album more than anything else. It reminds me a little bit of Billy Idol's most recent record, Kings & Queens of the Underground, that blended dance music with '80s punk rock, but it doesn't do nearly as good a job of blending those two disparate genres into something actually worth listening to. Instead, I could listen to barely more than half of each of the songs on Ghosts of Download before shutting it off in disgust, earning a solid one star (since I can't give it zero). This brings me to another issue: what happened to all of Blondie's other albums? The digital market used to be saturated in Blondie releases, and now all we have are a handful of actual albums and a bunch of singles and EPs. And none of the previous (and far superior) greatest hits compilations are available aside from Atomic/Atomix: The Very Best of Blondie. Did Debbie & Co. lose the digital rights to their own music? I mean, they're pretty much all still available on CD and vinyl, so why not digital? In short, don't buy this album. Save up your hard-earned dollars and get yourself a copy of the 2002 Greatest Hits album on CD. The recordings are FAR superior to the re-recorded versions found on this album, and you won't have to suffer therough the abomination that is Ghosts of Download. Then we can lament Blondie as we knew her and loved her together.
