DAVID BOWIE - The Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust - 1972 11-track LP BGBS 0864-1E

Description: DAVID BOWIE - The Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust A Very rare & highly sought after 1972 first UK pressing 11-track vinyl LP With 'Titanic/Chrysalis' credit on the labels Housed in a matt picture sleeve with inner This original pre-dates the Mainman contract & as such has no reference to Mainman anywhere on the sleeve or record label SF8287Every 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 & wreak havoc on rock's fertile soil & 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'. This first issue pre-dates the Mainman contract & 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' The matrix numbers in the run out groove are: BGBS 0864 - 1E BGBS 0865 - 2E The label is the original thick orange glossy Victor variant and the vinyl itself is the thick & strong pressing, unlike many later pressings which used Dynaflex flexi vinyl.
