Product Details

Press Copy - Ziggy Stardust is David Bowie turning rock into theater, myth, and bright electric danger, with the Spiders from Mars giving the whole story its bite. Released on RCA in 1972, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars gives Whatnot clean David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust, RCA, glam rock, Mick Ronson, Spiders from Mars, and early-70s rock anchors. The album moves through Five Years, Soul Love, Moonage Daydream, Starman, Lady Stardust, Star, Hang On to Yourself, Suffragette City, and Rock ’n’ Roll Suicide, building a loose sci-fi rise-and-fall arc around Bowie’s most famous alter ego. Mick Ronson’s guitar and arrangements are essential to the record’s charge, balancing glitter, melodrama, and hard rock snap with songs that still feel sharp rather than decorative. Right for Bowie collectors, glam-rock shelves, and buyers who want one of the defining records where image, songs, and character all lock together.
