DAVID ELLIS: This shoot was taken for the cover of NME and was at the time of the Libertines debut album. The boys turned up and began drinking promptly and continued to do so throughout the shoot. Even at this early point in their career together, the competitiveness between both Pete and Carl was evident. I particularly like this shot as it offers up an image of friendship and serenity. The shoot finished up with the band and crew dancing around the studio to one of Pete & Carl’s favourite tracks – Bugsy Malone – You Give A Little Love.
