An original Polaroid photograph of David Bowie, taken during the creation of his Tonight album cover,.

Grammy Award winning art director Mick Haggerty created the covers for three of David Bowie’s albums, Let’s Dance (1983), Tonight (1984) and Never Let Me Down (1987), all in close collaboration with Bowie.

For Tonight, Haggerty began by photographing Bowie in his suite at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City, taking 29 Polaroid photographs.  Using one of these as a reference, he drew the portrait of Bowie used on the Tonight album cover.  This unique Polaroid is one of the best from Haggerty’s session.

We acquired this directly from Mick Haggerty, who has signed it on the back.  It is reproduced in the book of Haggerty’s collected work MXWX.

With Mick Haggerty’s signed letter of authenticity, and Recordmecca’s written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.

In near mint condition.  3 ½” x 4 ¼”
