Peter and Carl in the toilet at CBGBs

Roger Sargent explains: I loved CBGB’s. It’s criminal that it was allowed to close—it’s more significant than The White House in my humble opinion. This is around the load in time, mid-afternoon, I’d been here before, the band had not, so I was winding them up about the great shows and bands who’d played before them. If I recall correctly the boys are reading Village Voice and checking out the preview for their show. Peter’s comedy cigarette is priceless.

Roger Sargent: The Libertines – Peter and Carl – Cherry Jam Beatles

£ 250 – £ 2,400

Peter and Carl, Cherry Jam Beatles, London

Roger recalls: This was a pivotal show for me. I’d had enough of the music industry, I’d moved out of London and was considering my options. My good friend and Libertine’s publicist Tony ‘The Tiger’ Linkin convinced me to come and shoot the show for NME. The gig was crazy and chaotic which I loved. The pictures had a feel of Beatles in their Hamburg era.

Roger Sargent: The Libertines – Last Gang

£ 250 – £ 2,400

Last Gang, London

Roger Sargent explains: After the first day shooting the band, it seemed and felt like we’d got nothing. The expectations had been high, and the photos didn’t hit. They looked a little disparate. Like they didn’t belong together. We had another shoot planned a few days later and I suggested we get them wearing clothes to bring them together. Leather jackets, jeans etc. Like colours. Uniformity. The band took the uniformity suggestion very literally.

Roger Sargent: The Libertines – Kate, Peter and Carl – Boogaloo

£ 250 – £ 2,400

Kate Moss, Peter and Carl at The Boogaloo Bar, North London, 18 April 2005

Roger Sargent recalls: This was one of many truly strange days. Carl had called me to say that he and Peter would be meeting up for the first time since the band split. They would be meeting in the Boogaloo and he wanted me come along for moral support—moral support under the guise of documenting the meet up. I stuck with him and knowing that Peter wouldn’t mind, and that it would diffuse the atmosphere a little, I snapped a few frames of the two embracing. Suddenly Kate plonked herself down next to the pair of them. It was quite frustrating because she clearly did it to get into the pictures—but then complained about my photographing her. I told her I’d rather she wasn’t in the pictures, but she didn’t move. Later, she took me aside and told me a bizarre story of how she’d had a photographer beaten up, like it was supposed to rattle me. It didn’t.

Roger Sargent: The Libertines – Innocent

£ 250 – £ 2,400

Innocent, Brick Lane, London

Roger Sargent remembers: Someone told me recently that the writing—a William Burroughs quote—was sprayed by Banksy. At the time his work, and that by other artists, was dotted around the east end. One of these shots became the cover for the documentary I made about the band. Apt sentiment.

Roger Sargent: The Libertines – in red jackets

£ 250 – £ 2,400

The Libertines in red jackets, London

Roger Sargent explains: So, the band’s take on my request for uniformity, taken literally. There was a little hoo-ha about even shooting the band wearing these jackets because of perceived negative connotations from other bands. Menswear—of Britpop vintage—had worn something similar at some point, but I insisted we shoot them regardless. They just looked so good. It was the first time I remember shooting something and believing it to be iconic immediately. Again, few people agreed so the photos were “binned” for a year or so.

Roger Sargent: The Libertines – Footbridge

£ 250 – £ 2,400

Footbridge, East London

Roger Sargent remembers: Again, from the east London safari that was the first photo session we did. This is one of my favourite images of the band. It looks like it’s taken in Long Kesh or something.

Roger Sargent: The Libertines – First shoot, first set up

£ 250 – £ 2,400

First shoot, first set up, Bethnal Green, London

Roger Sargent remembers: Tony Linkin, the band’s publicist was also a long-suffering whipping boy during our shoots. Both Carl and Peter have razor sharp wit. I don’t recall what exactly was said but I know Carl is delivering cuttingly, humorous jibes Tony’s way.

Roger Sargent: The Libertines – First NME cover session

£ 250 – £ 2,400

A session image from the shoot for the first NME cover

Roger remembers: Shooting their first cover session was something of a French Farce. Peter and Carl would call me to see if the other had arrived so as they could out late each other. Many people have derided Peter for trashing a classic England shirt, what they don’t know is that it was the result of Carl trying to set him on fire— the cheeky monkey. Coincidently that shirt would cost you in the region of a monkey today.
