Blondie’s 1999 album No Exit will be reissued next month as 2CD and 2LP vinyl editions.

The album was their first for 17 years at the time and features what was, frankly, a surprise UK number one single in ‘Maria’ along with its less successful follow-up, ‘Nothing Is Real But The Girl’.

The new 2CD deluxe edition features a remastered version of the standard 14-track album on the first disc while CD 2 offers Japan-only bonus track ‘Hot Shot’ (with additional production and mix by David Wrench) along with a selection of seven remixes (from the many that were issued back in the day).

The 2LP edition is actually the first time the album has appeared on vinyl. The album is spread over three sides with the fourth side reserved for ‘Hot Shot’ and three remixes. Both formats feature new sleeve notes and “mastering and sound restoration” is by Jessica Thompson.

These expanded formats find no place for tracks recorded at the Lyceum Theatre in November 1998 which appeared on CD 2 of a European deluxe edition of the album and on various CD singles. The radio edit of ‘Maria’ is another notable omission.

No Exit will be reissued by BMG on 31 October 2025.
