Some previously unseen footage of Blondie's Debbie Harry and Robert Fripp dropped, as the kids say these days, on the interwebs yesterday courtesy of Blondie guitarist, Chris Stein. In an amazing cosmic coincidence, the photos of the pair, taken by Stein to announce a remake of Jean Luc Goddard's Alphaville appeared on the front page of Melody Maker exactly 40 years today.
Although various stills from the session have emerged over the years this is the first video footage to be seen from that time. Stein, via his instagram and Facebook accounts comments: "Robert Fripp and Debbie from around '79-80. Amazing old video thanks to Joey Freeman. This is a teaser, more to come soon, this stuff hasn't ever been released."

The proposed film came to nothing but at least the session did provide fans on both sides with a collective jaw-drop moment and, as Chris indicates the memorable images that adorned Fripp's Exposure.
Here's the promo video shot for Exposure...
