All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Considered by many to be Blondie's best, their second album catches the group poised on the brink of global superstardom. PLASTIC LETTERS' first single, a gender-switched cover of the '60s pop hit "Denise" by Randy and the Rainbows, was a massive British hit which went far towards dispelling the band's second-tier status on the New York punk scene.
The rest of the disc improves immensely on their self-titled debut, with sharper songwriting and better production. Jimmy Destri's Farfisa organ is still the band's main musical focal point, but his playing has evolved, along with the melodies, beyond the simple '60s pastiches of the debut. "Youth Nabbed as Sniper" and "Contact in Red Square" continue the band's fascination with trash culture, but the glorious "I'm Always Touched by Your Presence Dear," written by departed bassist Gary Valentine, is a genuinely heartfelt, if ironic, love song.

Editorial Reviews
4 Stars - Excellent - ...where their frame broadened to include...sci-fi noise and such eerily memorable fare as `Fan Mail' and `Cautious Lip'...
Q (10/01/1994)

...Benefits from full-bodied production and Clem Burke's crafty drumming... - Rating: A-c
Entertainment Weekly (09/21/2001)
