Uploader’s Comment: A comment from rtalwani on my Blondie May 4 1978 torrent asked if I had taped them in 1979 at the Palladium, with Fripp. I hadn’t, but i did have a soundboard of that show. I didn’t originally like the quality and gave it a “good” rating, sort of 3 out of 10. But I just gave it a listen and was suprised to find that it’s really very good.

It’s an odd mix, maybe a monitor recording for the rhythm section; certainly the bass and drums are quite present. But so is everything else, and it really is ok and doesn’t even seem very far off the master. I took a quick look and it doesn’t seem to be a common recording so here it goes. Maybe someone has a better copy, perhaps in stereo? This one seems to be mono.

I don’t know the exact date, but this is the show that rtalwani was asking about because Fripp is on Sister Midnight and Heroes. My pitiful attempt at a songlist follows, feel free to correct…

– Will Anything Happen? : Sister Midnight’s calling you to get it on!

Buddy Holly’s “I’m Gonna Love You Too,” released as a single by Coral Records, 1957-09-12, failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100. [Blondie found no love either with its cover.] Iggy Pop’s “Sister Midnight,” released as a single in May 1977, never saw the light of day. As for Bowie’s “Heroes,” featuring as it happens Robert Fripp on lead guitar, released 1977-09-23: Despite a large promotional push, including Bowie’s first live Top of the Pops appearance since 1973, “‘Heroes'” only reached No. 24 in the UK charts, and failed to make the US Billboard Hot 100.

Whereas, the American doo wop group Randy & the Rainbows, released “Denise” in 1963, and saw her hit #10 on the Billboard Hot 100. [Blondie’s gender-swapping cover, “Denis,” with a verse of partly improvised pidgin-French from Debby, went to #10 in the US and #2 in the UK.] Meanwhile T. Rex’s “Get It On,” released in 1971, spent four weeks at the top of the UK, and peaked in the US at #10.

And as for Blondie, 1978-1979 was This Is Radio Blondie: “all aboard for funtime!”

– “Presence, Dear” (released in April of ’78), “Picture This,” and “Sunday Girl,” though none saw release as singles in the US, in the UK reached #10, #12, and #1, respectively.

– “One Way or Another,” though held back in the UK, was let loose in the US and got it on up to #24.

– “Hanging on the Telephone,” though free but falling and failing to chart in the US, peaked in the UK at #5.

– “Heart Of Glass” broke the disco-ball heart of the pop-top glass ceiling, hit #1 in the US and UK, as well as Canada, Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand, and the land where Blondie first broke on through, Australia (“Australia! Australia! Australia! We love you! Amen.”)

– Calling Sister Midday:

[They forgot to put sings in quotes. -ed. md]

– [‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ (1966), Clint Eastwood as] Blondie: Every gun makes its own tune.

– [‘Parallel Lines’ (11:59), Debbie Harry as] Blondie: Take me down the freeway like a bullet to the ocean…

– Picture This (Gun For Hire) : I’d take that bullet for your telephone number.
