Description

A great original UK copy of Blondie’s Picture This, released in 1978 during the band’s breakthrough period.

What really makes this one stand out is the yellow vinyl pressing. It looks fantastic both in the sleeve and spinning on the turntable and makes a much more eye-catching addition to a Blondie collection than the standard black vinyl issue.

The vinyl has been play-tested and sounds great, while the original picture sleeve retains plenty of character despite the expected wear from nearly five decades of storage and handling.

A lovely period Blondie single and a proper little piece of late-1970s new wave history.

Supplied in its original Chrysalis picture sleeve.
