Capitol's reissue adds five bonus tracks to the original dozen, all of which are more interesting for their historical peek into the band's development than for their musicality. A pre-LP single featuring "X Offender" and "In the Sun" shows the band still balancing their sound. The double-tracked vocal on the former pales in comparison to the LP version, and the melody on the latter (as well as its rambunctious spirit) had yet to fully emerge. An Alan Betrock produced take of the Shangri-Las "Out in the Streets" is fine, while "The Thin Line" and "Platinum Blonde" sound like the demo track that they are - a band with an original idea that isn't yet fully expressed.

Nowhere else do you see the girl-group meets CBGB's sound so perfectly captured. And the closing "Giant Ants" is a classic track. But the real reason to write home about this CD is the bonus tracks. "Out in the Streets" is easily one of Blondie's best recordings, and the rest of the extras are just as great." - C. Burkhalter
