Tracklisting & More Information

More Details
Every track on Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars sounds like it was pulled from the rock 'n' roll bible. The album created a mythology that reached beyond the Chuck Berry folklorisms of the everyday rocker to create a new type of rockstar.

With Ziggy, Bowie created a viable alter-ego to descend onto the planet and wreak havoc on rock's fertile soil and in doing so, he created the most original rock creation since the music's inception 20 years before.

Musically, the album was as inspired as Ziggy's persona. Mick Ronson's snarling guitar evoked the triumphant power of the late '60s guitar heroes, but added a flash so dynamic fans knew why the Spiders were labelled 'glitter rockers'.

History
This first issue pre-dates the Mainman contract and as such there are NO Mainman references or logos anywhere on the sleeve or record label. There is a logo on the rear of the sleeve with the text 'A Gem Production'

Condition
The sleeve shows some light spine/edge scuffing and ringwear with tiny staple holes to the opening edge. The inner has moderate discolouration and a tape repair to the bottom edge, but no writing, leaving this the main reason the package is not graded as Excellent.

The vinyl is graded as Very Good with a few hairlines scuffs accross both sides of the play surface with one on side that cna be physically felt but with no real impact to the play quality of this legendary album.

Always in demand, a really nice play copy of this classic.
