They both appear to be 1st pressings,and exactly the same with descriptions as many of the others however, the matrix runout numbers differ as follows: Parallel Lines was a significant turning point for Blondie, though to be thoughtful, everyone should have seen this outing barreling at them like a suburban commuter train, a shift in the direction of more new wave pop oriented material, defined by a stylish blend of disco and radio friendly numbers that radiated with swirling synths, Chic induced guitar riffs, along with a relentless beat (drum machine) that stood in stark contrast to the nearly honey dripping sweetness of Deborah Harry’s vocals.Sheffield, Rob (1995). "Blondie". In Weisbard, Eric; Marks, Craig (eds.). Spin Alternative Record Guide. Vintage Books. pp.49–50. ISBN 0-679-75574-8. I have the Mo-Fi but that is the worst sounding version I have of this LP. The only good thing about it is the virgin vinyl it was pressed in. Even my worst Japanese pressing (I have 4 copies) sounds noticeably better than the Mo-Fi. I have an 80's Canadian Chrysalis pressing which needs replacing and would like to hear from you fine folk. Any particular pressings stand out above the rest? I have Steve's DCC on cd which sounds amazing but I no longer have a cdp to play it....gawd, it sounds great. A vinyl version that will sound close to it would make me very happy. a b c Berger, Arion (June 8, 2000). "Blondie: Parallel Lines". Rolling Stone. New York. p.129.

I basically went in there like Adolf Hitler and said, 'You are going to make a great record, and that means you're going to start playing better.'"The record sounds great. Punchy, clear. If I have a grumble it’s A) the sleeve photo is a bit fuzzy. I don’t recall the original sleeve looking like that In 2000, Parallel Lines was voted number 57 in Colin Larkin's book All Time Top 1000 Albums. [27] Three years later, it was ranked at number 140 on Rolling Stone 's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, [8] maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list; [28] an accompanying essay said the album was "where punk and New Wave broke through to a mass U.S. audience".
