No Exit marked Blondie's return after seventeen years of silence. The album originally appeared in 1999, with Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, Clem Burke and Jimmy Destri back together, and gave the band a number one hit in the United Kingdom with Maria. The music moves from new wave into reggae, girl-group pop and hip-hop: Coolio raps on the title track, and Nothing Is Real But the Girl became a fan favourite. In 2025 BMG issued a remastered and expanded edition, also the album's first official release on vinyl, with a bonus disc of remixes and rarities including Hot Shot, previously found only on the Japanese pressing and newly mixed by David Wrench.
This edition is a 2-LP on clear vinyl.
