Description

Originally released in 1972, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is David Bowie’s glam rock opus — a loose concept album chronicling the rise and self-destruction of Ziggy, a bisexual alien rock star sent to Earth as a saviour. This 2012 remastered edition celebrates the album’s 40th anniversary with enhanced analogue warmth and clarity, pressed on heavyweight 180-gram vinyl. Featuring iconic tracks like “Starman,” “Moonage Daydream,” and “Suffragette City,” this edition preserves the theatrical brilliance and sonic innovation that made Bowie a legend.

Artist Overview

David Bowie’s Ziggy persona fused sci-fi mystique with rock ‘n’ roll swagger, redefining pop culture and gender norms. Backed by The Spiders from Mars — Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder, and Mick Woodmansey — Bowie crafted a sound that was bold, flamboyant, and timeless. This album remains a cornerstone of glam rock and a gateway into Bowie’s ever-evolving artistry.
