For the David Bowie song of the same name, see Sound and Vision.
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]
