Beschreibung
Blondie in Camera 1978 is richly illustrated with photographer Martyn Goddards most famous images of Blondie. Taken during their breakthrough year, these pictures have graced magazines, newspapers, promotional campaigns, posters and even the Picture This single cover and the Best of Blondie album cover. Blondies rise to the mainstream surface punctuated the late 70s with a raft of unforgettable New Wave hits. The genre-mashing classic Heart of Glass along with the likes of Hanging on a Telephone and Picture This were as zesty and fresh-faced as the young band members, who soon found superstardom as their singles landed and the strength of their attitude began to resonate. When Goddard travelled to New York in 78 with an assignment to photograph lead-singer Debbie Harry, he couldnt have imagined that Blondies songs and his images would soon become permanent fixtures on the cultural landscape. This is the ultimate treasure trove for fans of one of the worlds biggest bands.
