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

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?

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.
