Blondie

From Blondie's earliest days, performing at legendary New York punk venues such as Max's Kansas City and CBGB's, to their ultimate ascension to global superstardom at the end of the 1970s, Roberta Bayley was present to record the dramatic rise of Blondie and the unique phenomenon of Debbie Harry. The images collected in Blondie: Unseen 1976-1980 provide an inimitable evocation of one of the most creative and exciting periods in popular culture.
