Product Description

Review
"The zenith of the band can be seen again in photographer Roberta Bayley's "Blondie: Unseen 1976-1980," Covering the band from their CBGB gigs to their global success, the book features a nostalgic handwritten foreword by Debbie Harry and many unseen images." -" Mojo"
"From their very early days at Max's Kansas City and CBGB's, Roberta captured the band at work and play. This book documents those days, offering as much an insight into the life of Debbie herself as into this unique period of music and fashion." - "I-D"
"Debbie Harry goes from beautiful girl next door to stunning, glamorous new wave pin-up across 137 pages. Whether she's fashioned a zebra print dress out of a pillowcase from the rubbish, or wearing more available-to-the-average-girl clothes at Max's Kansas City in 1976, she's always had 'the look'." -" Record Collector"
"This fantastic book is a photographic memoir of Debbie Harry's Blondie at their most exciting and important . . . These incredible pictures capture the whirlwind of activity and excitement surrounding Blondie in these explosive times. Throw in introductions by both Harry and Bayley and you have one of the most insightful and artistic portrayals of a punk and pop icon you're likely to come across. Stunning . . . a must have for Blondie fans." -" Writers' News"
"An unseen photo-story shows the late-70s New York rock scene in a fresh light in "Blondie Unseen 1976-1980,"" - "Dazed Confused"
"Sometimes crazy, frequently sexy and impossibly cool...Debbie Harry was the perfect subject for Roberta Bayley, legendary photographer of the New York punk scene." -" The Sunday Telegraph"

4.0 out of 5 stars A phot-doc of Blondie's career, 11 April 2007
By G. Whyman - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The more cynical out there might consider that Roberta Bayley is cashing in on the renewed interest in Debbie Harry and Blondie by bringing out a book of her photos of the band in their glory days. Actually this is a fascinating book that tells the story of Blondie in pictures rather than words (the text is very minimal) in an almost photo-documentary style. As an employee of Peter Leeds - Blondie's now infamous first manager - Bayley had a close attachment to the band and many of the photos show the band in situations where much of the press were restricted, like sound checks and backstage. Unlike the Mick Rock collection that was published a couple of years ago, her photos are largely informal showing members of the band hanging out and relaxing. Strangely enough Debbie looks far more alluring and sexy when captured in natural surroundings rather than the posed shots we're more used to seeing. The photo in which she looks frozen outside a Wimpy decked out in Union flags somewhere in Britain is absolutely priceless! If you love Blondie this book is indispensable.
