"Debbie's very first visit to London…The middle shot really captures her beauty. Put together they portray a bit of humour too. My photographs of Debbie appeared in the NME quite small, but within a very short period of time she was the world's music cover girl." - Chalkie Davies

Blondie were initially signed to a small independent record label Private Stock Records, who believed it best to market the band by using this type of image of Debbie Harry.

The band, who were unhappy with their promotion, bought back their contract with Private Stock and signed with Chrysalis in 1977. The British press for example were initially unsure if Blondie was a band or solo artist.

Chalkie Davies - Debbie Harry, Black Stockings - 1977

"…Debbie Harry virtually defines the word photogenic and I knew that no matter how little experience I had in the studio we would produce great photos together. As a person who is very easy to photograph the session lasted only about fifteen minutes, wearing a Rudolph Valentino T-Shirt and a short denim skirt Debbie sat on the stool and we went thru a variety of poses. Once we did the photo seen here we knew we had what we wanted…and this photo appeared on the cover of the NME the following week." - Chalkie Davies
