Capitol's 2005 release The Best of Blondie is a repackaging of CEMA's ten-track 1999 budget-line collection The Best of Blondie; the only thing different is the cover art, which is more appealing on this latter-day reissue. Although it is missing some great songs, it does contain most of the band's biggest hits, including "Call Me," "One Way or Another," "Hanging on the Telephone," "Heart of Glass," "Rapture," and "The Tide Is High." While there are more comprehensive and more attractive compilations available, this serves up the basics at an affordable price. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
