The latest tracks are a three-pack of rock radio hits from the late ‘70s (Blondie’s “Hanging On The Telephone”), (The Clash’s “Train in Vain (Stand by Me)”) and early ‘90s (Sonic Youth’s “Kool Thing”).
“Hanging On The Telephone” first appeared on Blondie’s third—and arguably best—album, 1978’s Parallel Lines. “Train in Vain (Stand by Me)” is from the album many critics refer to as one of the greatest rock records ever recorded, The Clash’s 1979 blockbuster London Calling, and “Kool Thing,” featuring Public Enemy’s Chuck D, was from 1990’s Goo, Sonic Youth’s first major label album.
Each track will be available for $1.99 per track (160 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) or $5.49 (440 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360) for the three-pack.
