Overview
The Complete Picture reached number three on the UK Album Chart , remaining on the chart for 25 weeks, and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).[ 3] The album was released as a double vinyl LP , containing five tracks on each side. However, for the compact disc format, all 20 tracks were released on one CD.
A video collection was also released. It omits "Sunday Girl " and "Rip Her to Shreds " since there are no official promo videos for them, though several tracks not present on the album were included such as Deborah Harry's "Backfired " and "Now I Know You Know" (from her 1981 album KooKoo ), "Free to Fall " (from 1986's Rockbird ), and Blondie's videos for "The Hardest Part " (1979) and "Detroit 442" (1978).
