Closer, actually ... on side two every song generates its own unique, scintillating glitz. What seems at first like a big bright box of hard candy turns out to have guts, feeling, a chewy centre and Deborah Harry's vocal gloss reveals nooks of compassion and sheer physical give ... plus the band really New Yawks it up: try the chorus of Just Go Away. A." - Robert Christgau "This music had never been anything but contagious, glossy melodics ('pop'), some of which one could dance to (argh, 'disco'). Parallel Lines made a hash of the genre distinctions that kept snobs warm ... the melting, metallic Sunday Girl features Debbie Harry's voice at its thickest and most cynically sweet, proving she was always a one-girl girl group ... established Harry's persona firmly between vulnerable but skeptical lover and pop tigress ..." - Rolling Stone Blondie's 1978 breakthrough album Parallel Lines is packed with radio-ready songs, including two British number one singles and another top five UK hit. As a result, Parallel Lines made it all the way to the top of the UK Albums Chart while cracking the US top 10 and has sold over 20 million copies internationally. Both Rolling Stone and NME include Parallel Lines on their lists of the greatest albums of all time.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
