Published in the US on January 17, 1974, Rolling Stone’s one-page advert promoted David Bowie’s Pinups — his seventh studio album, a collection of covers of his favourite 1960s songs. The ad highlighted the album’s nostalgic glam-rock take on tracks by The Pretty Things, The Kinks, The Who, Them, Pink Floyd, The Yardbirds, The Easybeats, and more, positioning it as a bold celebration of British rock history during Bowie’s peak Ziggy-era fame.
