Sound + Vision is the first box set by English musician David Bowie, released by Rykodisc in 1989. By the end of the 1980s, the rights to Bowie's pre-1983 catalogue (originally issued by Phillips/Mercury Records and RCA Records) reverted to Bowie and his former management company, MainMan. Rykodisc had approached Bowie in 1988 to re-release his albums on CD and Bowie agreed, and in September 1989 the Sound + Vision box set was released.[4] By April 1990, the box set had sold over 200,000 copies, which, for a set costing $50–$60 (or about $130 today),[5] was considered "phenomenal".[6]
Sound + Vision was originally conceived in January 1988 as a career retrospective, modeled on Bob Dylan's Biograph[7] and Eric Clapton's Crossroads,[8] that launched the then-upcoming Rykodisc CD reissue campaign covering Bowie's output from 1969 to 1980.[9] Primarily based on the Serious Moonlight Tour setlist,[10] it contains few of Bowie's greatest hits in their original form, instead frequently opting for demos, live versions and even a German vocal version of ""Heroes"" ("Helden"). The "rarities" originally included on the 1989 edition of Sound + Vision—rare single versions of "Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud" and "Rebel Rebel", and previously unreleased studio outtakes "London Bye Ta-Ta", "1984/Dodo", "After Today" and "It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City"—were exclusive to this box set.
The set won the 1990 Grammy Award for Best Album Package.[11] Rolling Stone said the boxset "stood above the rest [of the 1989 boxset releases]" and called the release a "promising harbinger" for the then-upcoming re-release of Bowie's RCA back catalogue on CD by Rykodisc,[12] for which Bowie launched a worldwide supporting tour.[13]
It exists in two primary editions, each of which has been released in an original version and a subsequent repackaged version:
