Not to be confused with The Hunter (Persuader album).
The Hunter was released in 1982. Blondie would not release another album of new material until 1999's No Exit.
The album had two singles, "Island of Lost Souls" and "War Child". "War Child" was also released as a 12" extended version.
The song "For Your Eyes Only" was written for the 1981 James Bond film of the same name. The producers of the film wanted Blondie to perform a song written by Bill Conti and Michael Leeson. Blondie declined, and the song was recorded by Sheena Easton instead.
