Blondie will mark the 30th birthday of its classic “Parallel Lines” with a summer tour and an expanded 30th anniversary edition of the album, due June 24 via Capitol/EMI.
The reissued set will add four bonus tracks, as well as a DVD featuring three music videos and a previously unreleased TV performance from the BBC’s “Top Of The Pops.” A booklet containing the original album photo session is also being included in the new package.
