The album that made a huge star out of David Bowie in 1972 and
introduced his Ziggy Stardust persona, The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy
Stardust And The Spiders From Mars is iconic for many reasons. Featuring
the much-loved 'Starman', 'Moonage Daydream' and 'Five Years', the story
of Bowie's fifth studio album is one that needs to be told in detail. In
this book, author Laura Shenton MA LLCM DipRSL offers an in-depth
perspective on The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From
Mars from a range of angles including how the album came to be, how it
was presented and received at the time (live as well as on record), and
what it means in terms of Bowie's legacy today.
