I'm noting this because most of the individual songs are not notable enough for an individual article, especially if the content is like that on Youth Nabbed As Sniper. "Song is the number track on the album album by group. -- Blu Aardvark | (talk) | (contribs) 09:55, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Question : how can this album have been in the charts in 1977 if it has been released in 1978 ? DeepPurple46 ( talk) 13:02, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm afraid allmusic's information on the release date is incorrect. One needs to look no further than the liner notes in the Plastic Letters 2001 remaster to see the correct release date of February 1978. A quick search of the google news archive will reveal several newspaper articles documenting the album's release in February 1978 (and nothing at all from 1977), see [1]. There's also the book Making Tracks: The Rise of Blondie [2] or Punk Diary: The Ultimate Trainspotter's Guide to Underground Rock, 1970-1982 [3] or the Spin magazine article [4]. This is also consistent with the album's chart history - Plastic Letters entered the Billboard album chart the week ending February 25, 1978 and the UK chart the week of March 4, 1978.

Or in the December 24, 1977 article on Chrysalis Records ("Ellis To Develop ID Push" page 10):"New Wave group Blondie to Jonny Podell for exclusive bookings in the U.S. and Canada. The Chrysalis act's second LP, due in January is yet untitled."
Also, the February 11, 1978 issue features a review of Plastic Letters in "Top Album Picks", a feature containing reviews of that week's new releases."During the first portion of 1978 the label will be releasing product from such recently signed artists as Mary Travers, Blondie and jazz group Auracle."
