Album Name Eat to the Beat. Released date October 1979. Labels Chrysalis Records.

Just as Blondie's second album, Plastic Letters, was a pale imitation of their self-titled debut, Eat to the Beat, their fourth album, was a secondhand version of their breakthrough third album, Parallel Lines: one step forward, half a step back. There was an attempt, on such songs as "The Hardest Part" and "Atomic," to recreate the rock/disco fusion of the group's one major . hit, "Heart of Glass," without similar success, and, elsewhere, the band just tried to cover too many stylistic bases

Some promo copies of this release came with an extra package included for retailers, record stores to promote this album. A folder that contains two 8X10 photos (black & white) and a six page booklet titled "Blondie Travel & Restaurant Guide" that tells a story about Eat The Beat and a poster for an upcoming event that on back states "IMPORTANT! Please Hang In Store," all trademarked by Chrysalis. Some copies may have had gold demonstration stamp on back added by distributor, retailer, record store.

With Eat to the Beat, all that smug certainty has been vindicated. Faced with the challenge of following up the million-selling Parallel Lines, Blondie has delivered a record that’s not only ambitious in its range of styles, but also unexpectedly and vibrantly compelling without sacrificing any of the group’s urbane, modish humor. As if to distinguish Blondie from the pop revival they helped catalyze, Eat to the Beat subjugates melody to momentum: in their construction and in Mike Chapman’s dense, crystalline production, most of the tracks are organized around Clem Burke’s superb drumming
