Book Review: A phot-doc of Blondie's career
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
