Blondie – announces deluxe reissue of landmark 1999 comeback album ‘No Exit’

Blondie’s No Exit—the 1999 comeback that marked their return after a 17-year hiatus—is being reissued in a newly remastered and expanded Deluxe Edition, out October 31 via BMG. A definitive release of one of the band’s most pivotal records, and now available on vinyl for the very first time ever, the deluxe reissue celebrates Blondie’s remarkable second act and revisits the album that marked the legendary band’s creative resurgence and return to the global stage.

The No Exit Deluxe Edition will be available digitally and in three physical formats: a 2CD set, crystal glass clear 2LP and black 2LP vinyl pressings. All formats include the remastered original album—featuring the global hit “Maria”—alongside remixes, new liner notes, and “Hot Shot,” a track previously released only in Japan, now widely available for the first time with additional production and mix by David Wrench (David Byrne, The Pretenders, Frank Ocean). The deluxe reissue was produced by Tommy Manzi and Steve Rosenthal, with mastering and sound restoration by Jessica Thompson.

The updated design brings a fresh visual dimension to the release, with original album photographer and creative director Rob Roth returning to work on all the new packaging. A longtime creative collaborator of Harry and Stein, Roth—now a respected figure in the visual and performance art world—shot the album’s original artwork inside the seminal NYC nightclub Mother, tapping into late-’90s fascinations with surveillance, sexuality, and spectacle. “I was kind of obsessed with the concept of surveillance at the time,” recalls Roth. “To me, it made perfect sense conceptually and creatively.” For this reissue, he builds on that foundation, pairing archival visuals with new design elements to create a vivid, contemporary reimagining of the milestone album.

Blondie’s No Exit Deluxe Edition will be released digitally, on 2CD, and a 2LP vinyl set via BMG on October 31, 2025. To preorder, visit https://blondie.lnk.to/NoExit2025PR.
