Journey - They're the group taking everyone to "Infinity" at Sam Goody and the Palladium

A great ad from March 1978. The is the Journey "Infinity" ad which features cut-outs of the band on an airplane.

The added bonus is the "meeting in person" at Sam Goody Record Stores and the mention of the Live Show at the New York Palladium on March 25th 1978.

It's a great black and white ad but I'm not sure exactly what magazine this came out of.

This is the first timeI've seen print using the term "new Journey"...
