Blonde and Beyond is a compilation album of recordings by Blondie released on Chrysalis Records in 1993.[2]

Overview

Blonde and Beyond is a compilation that 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, single b-sides and previously unreleased recordings, which include three demos ("Underground Girl", "Scenery" and "Once I Had A Love") and a live cover of T. Rex's "Bang a Gong (Get It On)".

Most of the single b-sides and previously unreleased songs included on Blonde and Beyond have since been recycled as bonus tracks on 2001 reissues of the band's studio albums or other EMI compilations.
