JAPAN, APRIL 1977. “David-san came to Japan with Iggy Pop to promote the latter’s album The Idiot - which Bowie-san had produced - and a chance for a photo session presented itself. The photos were meant to have a ‘punk’ feel. David-san had asked Yacco to get as many leather jackets as possible. Afterwards, I selected about 20 photos to give to David-san, including the shot on the “Heroes” LP sleeve. Later in the year “Heroes” was voted Melody Maker’s best cover image of the year. I was very proud. I am still very fond of this photo.” - Sukita
