Blondie in Camera 1978 beautifully presents the most celebrated photos of the late 1970s' biggest breakthrough band. Blondie in Camera 1978 is richly illustrated with photographer Martyn Goddard's 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. Blondie's 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 traveled to New York in '78 with an assignment to photograph lead-singer Debbie Harry, he couldn't have imagined that Blondie's 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 world's biggest bands.
