Once More into the Bleach is a remix album released in December 1988 by the band Blondie and Debbie Harry. [6] The 13-track compilation contains remixes of Blondie songs and material from Harry's solo career. It was the first compilation to include non-album singles " Rush Rush" (from the Scarface soundtrack) and " Feel the Spin" (from the Krush Groove soundtrack).

Overview

The title of the album is a pun on a line from Henry V, a history play by William Shakespeare, "once more unto the breach", with a nod to hair bleach.

The album was issued as a double vinyl, double cassette album, and on CD. On the US edition of the album track five " Rapture" (Bonus Beats) is replaced with the original version of " Atomic" from the album Eat to the Beat.

Once More into the Bleach spun off two single releases: " Denis", a remix by Dancin' Danny D which is the first official Blondie remix single (also known as "Denis '88") and " Call Me", a remix by Ben Liebrand. The singles reached numbers 50 and 61 on the UK Singles Chart respectively. [7] The Shep Pettibone remix of " Heart of Glass" had a limited release as a single in several territories.
