Autoamerican - 1980
Autoamerican was a very different album for Blondie. The two singles taken from this album, Rapture, and The Tide Is High were also very different, one was reggae and the other was rap but they were both big hits! The cassette contains an extra track, Susie And Jeffrey. The 2001 CD release includes not only bonus tracks but an expanded booklet with rare photos and new liner notes by producer Mike Chapman giving an insight to what was going on at the time of making the album.

If you notice, the cassette cover has cut Debbie out of the picture. I wonder if this has to do with women having to cover themselves up in that country.
