Blonde and Beyond is a compilation album of recordings by Blondie released on Chrysalis Records in 1993. Blonde and Beyond gathers some of the band's hit singles like "Heart of Glass", "Denis", "X-Offender", "Picture This" and "Island Of Lost Souls" along with album tracks and a few rarities like single B-sides "Susie And Jeffrey" and "Poets Problem", live recordings of David Bowie's "Heroes", T.Rex "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" and Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" and the previously unreleased demos "Underground Girl", "Scenery" and "Once I Had A Love". Most of the rarities included on Blonde and Beyond have since been recycled as bonus tracks on re-issues of the band's studio albums or other EMI compilations.
