Blondies No Exit marked their first studio album in 17 years upon its release in February 1999, following The Hunter (1982). The album features the UK number one hit Maria, alongside Nothing Is Real But The Girl and No Exit. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios, Red Night Recording, and Chung King House of Metal in New York, the original release included 14 tracks. Later CD and cassette versions featured bonus material from Blondies 1998 Lyceum performance and an additional track, Hot Shot.

The 2025 Deluxe Reissue will include all original tracks, remastered, alongside a selection of rare and previously unreleased bonus mixes. This marks the albums first official vinyl release, featuring rare and unseen photography plus detailed liner notes.
