Rock band Blondie has teamed-up with Bath-based special-interest media group, Future, to release a special fan pack collector’s magazine along with its new album.

‘Panic of Girls’, is available to buy from today only as part of an official collector's magazine and gift pack from UK newsstands.

The special fan pack is complete with two extra bonus tracks and a 132 page deluxe magazine that charts the recording of the album and celebrates the band’s rich history and includes many never before seen pictures from Blondie’s own archive. Following this, the sole album will be physically released on July 4th 2011.

"Future's Fan Pack format is already a proven success, with great sales delivered for the unique, collectible Fan Packs we've created for new Slash and Motorhead albums under the Classic Rock banner in the last six months,” said Chris Ingham, Future’s music group publisher.

“The opportunity is so simple its genius - putting high quality new music product with must-have added value editorial content into a retail environment - the UK newsstand - which is ten times the footprint of traditional music retail space. Pre-sales are strong and Future continues to turn up the dial on publishing innovation"

‘Panic of Girls’ will be the band’s ninth studio album following ‘The Curse of Blondie’, which was released back in 2003.
