The equation is simple: 1978's "Parallel Lines" was the most inventive outing by one of the era's most inventive bands. With Debbie Harry's coquette snarl in full effect, the group ran ambitious guitar tones through spunky melodies. Few discs so deserve an anniversary re-release.

Capitol/EMI releases an expanded 30th Anniversary Edition of Blondie's Parallel Lines album, which has sold more than 20 million copies around the world since its 1988 debut. The commemorative CD/DVD release adds four bonus audio tracks, three classic music videos and a previously unreleased TV performance from the BBC's "Top Of The Pops" to the album's original tracklist, as well as a booklet containing the original album photo session. Blondie's "Parallel Lines 30th Anniversary Tour" Begins June 5 in Baltimore.

Parallel Lines peaked at #6 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart and included Blondie's first #1 hit, "Heart Of Glass," named one of the greatest songs ever by Blender magazine. The iconic album also features the smash hit "One Way Or Another" as well as "Hanging On The Telephone" and "Sunday Girl."
