''Blonde and Beyond'' is a Compilation Album of recordings by Blondie released on Chrysalis Records in 1993.

Following Debbie Harry 's moderately successful solo album '' Debravation '' Chrysalis released this eclectic collection of tracks from the Blondie back catalogue. ''Blonde and Beyond'' gathers some of the band's hit singles like " Heart Of Glass ", " Denis ", " X-Offender ", " Picture This " " Island Of Lost Souls " along with album tracks and a few rarities like single B-sides "Susie And Jeffrey" and "Poets Problem", live recordings of David Bowie 's "Heroes", T-Rex ' "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" and Johnny Cash 's "Ring of Fire" and the previously unreleased demos "Underground Girl", "Scenery" and "Once I Had A Love".

Most of the rarities included on ''Blonde and Beyond'' have since been used as bonus tracks on re-issues of the band's studio albums or other Chrysalis/ EMI compilations.
