@sole0soleo ... as in all live music, they din't need to. there is no need, ever, to play a song live as it was recorded. further more, songs sound as in the record only once in their lifetime.. on that take, on that date.
Fantastic! Though Mike Chapman's interview in SOS magazine's classic tracks article kinda paints a different reason behind why they recorded the drums one at a time.
@ionraygun-I've always found Chapman to be a bit untrustworthy. For example, the CR-78 they used in HOG was something the band found itself. Yet in a documentary he suggested that the band wanted to do the crude 1975 demo which they recorded in a basement without a keyboard player. People's memories differ, especially about a runaway success, but that idea is ludicrous. I guess victory truly does have a thousand fathers.
This is one of the most interesting production videos I've seen. Thanks for uploading. There are loads of things to learn here for tech people. Loved it!

Ok, but how do you play this song live, when the guitarist has to play 4 tracks simultaneously, and the singer - sing hi and low at the same time?

@CHRISLOVESBLONDIE No, it's Steve something (one of the other producers--maybe an engineer?)

All Blondie songs from ''X-Offender'' to ''What I Heard'' should have their own documentary!

Both versions sound excellent from the little I heard from the original.
