Our Take

In the grand scheme of rock 'n' roll history, there are few albums as iconic and influential as David Bowie's 1972 masterpiece, "The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars." And now, on its 50th anniversary, this timeless classic has been given the royal treatment with a special Half Speed Master release.

From the opening strains of "Five Years" to the anthemic "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide," every track on this album is a mini masterpiece, showcasing Bowie's unparalleled songwriting prowess and his otherworldly charisma. The album tells the story of Ziggy Stardust, a rock star from outer space who comes to Earth to spread his message of love and rebellion, only to meet a tragic end. It's a concept album that's as relevant today as it was five decades ago, with its themes of fame, identity, and the search for meaning resonating with listeners of all ages.

With this Half Speed Master edition, the album sounds better than ever, with every guitar riff, piano chord, and vocal nuance crystal clear and full of depth. It's a reminder of just how groundbreaking Bowie's music was, and how his legacy continues to inspire generations of artists to push boundaries and create music that is truly out of this world.

So crank up the volume, pour yourself a glass of Stardust, and let the magic of Ziggy Stardust take you on a journey through the stars. David Bowie may be gone, but his music lives on, and "The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars" is proof that he will always be the Starman we look up to.

About the artist

David Bowie

Ah, David Bowie. The chameleon of rock. The shape-shifter of pop. The icon of androgyny. This man needs no introduction, but I'll give him one anyway. Bowie burst onto the scene in the 1970s, dazzling us with his flamboyant stage presence and out-of-this-world personas. From Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke, he captivated audiences with his groundbreaking music and avant-garde style. But it's not just Bowie's theatricality that sets him apart. His music is a genre-bending blend of rock, pop, electronic, and everything in between. Whether he's crooning "Space Oddity" or getting funky with "Let's Dance," Bowie's discography is as diverse as it is innovative. And let's not forget his collaborations with the likes of Queen, Lou Reed, and Iggy Pop, which further solidify his status as a musical legend. Bowie's impact on the industry is undeniable. He paved the way for countless artists to embrace their individuality and push the boundaries of creativity. And his influence continues to be felt today, with musicians of all genres citing him as a major inspiration. So here's to David Bowie, the man who showed us that music knows no limits and that being yourself is the greatest gift of all. Rest in peace, Starman.
