David Bowie (February 19, 1977) Sound & Vision – RCA Full-Page Advert

Publication: New Musical Express

Date: February 19, 1977

Writer: RCA Records Advert

A stark, elegant full‑page advertisement announcing David Bowie’s new single “Sound & Vision” during the launch of the Low era. The advert features a minimalist, monochromatic design that perfectly mirrors the aesthetic shift of the Berlin period — cool, restrained, and quietly radical. Rather than shouting for attention, it whispers with a single profile photograph, simple typography, and the understated tagline “A very special thank you David,” positioning the single as both a personal statement and a bold artistic declaration.
