Blondie

4to. Pictorial boards. 96pp. A few minor dents and scratches to covers and edges; spine ends slightly pushed. A near fine copy. Lavishly illustrated throughout. *** Music critic Lester Bangs (1948 – 1982) was an early supporter of the band Blondie, writing a rave review of their first album when most others thought they were a waste of time. His support had cooled a bit when, at the height of Blondie’s fame, he wrote this short biography. Lester Bangs died of an accidental drugs overdose in 1982, at the age of 33, but his influence on rock criticism has been massive. *** Scarce in hardback.
