David Bowie – The Rise and Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars (LP Vinyl) artist-dawes the album began to takeReleased in June 1972, this is the album that didn't just launch a career but rewired what rock music could be. Bowie arrived as Ziggy at a moment when glam was crackling to life in Britain, and Mick Ronson's guitar work throughout gave the theatrical concept real teeth. The Spiders from Mars were a live unit of genuine power, and that tension between artifice and raw rock and roll is exactly what makes this record hold up more than fifty years on.
