Today, Blondie shared the original demo of their track "Go Through It" that was originally recorded in 1980. It comes from the forthcoming box set Blondie: Against the Odds 1974-1982, which is out August 26 via UMe and The Numero Group. It's the first proper archive from the punk trailblazers, spawned from the two decades worth of material gathering dust in Chris Stein's Woodstock barn.

The box set includes 124 songs and 36 previously unreleased recordings. There's the band's first basement studio session and a bunch of outtakes and alternate versions, including the one we're hearing today. "Go Through It" made its way onto the A-side of their 1980 album Autoamerican, which was a concept album focused on American pop culture.

Listen to the demo below, and pre-order the box set here.
