Blondie open archive of unheard demos for box-set release

The 124-track set features their first six albums plus fan-pleasing curios such as the band's first-ever recording session

Blondie are opening their archive to create their first box-set release, featuring 36 tracks that have never been previously heard.

Drawn from a hoard of master tapes and ephemera that lay in a barn belonging to the band's Chris Stein in Woodstock, New York, the set - entitled Blondie: Against the Odds 1974-1982 - totals 124 tracks. Their first six studio albums are included, appended with demos, outtakes, alternate versions and rarities.
