TRACKS:
 The seventies rock 'n' roll icon Debbie Harry and her band, Blondie, reformed in
the late nineties. In 1999, on the eve of the band's first big tour of the UK since the
eighties, Imagination went behind the scenes to see how it all feels second time around.
Debbie speaks candidly of the challenge involved in being a sex symbol in her
mid-fifties and discusses whether the stresses and strains which caused the band
to break up the first time can be conquered.

Chris Stein, Clem Burke, and Jimmy Destri remember the years out of the limelight
in which they all confronted their own personal demons, winning through to enjoy
a return to the top with the band that made their names. What emerges is a picture
of four talented, funny and energetic individuals who describe themselves candidly
as "a family - but a dysfunctional family at best".

Blondie Beneath the Bleach reveals the band at play and also delves into the group's
earliest origins, revealing their relationship with pop art icon Andy Warhol.
