Every track on Ziggy Stardust & The Siders 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 & Condition
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'
The matrix numbers in the run out groove are:
BGBS 0864 -1E & BGBS 0865-1E
The black & white lyric inner has a little creasing and discolouration, but no seam splits or tears. The sleeve has writing on the top left of back cover which is faint and reads Ali Moss
The label is the original thick orange glossy Victor variant and has
writing on the labels,the same as above but it's faint, whilst the vinyl itself is the thick & strong pressing, unlike many later pressings which used Dynaflex flexi vinyl. It still displays a high sheen leaving it in VG+ condition for nearly 50 years in the wild - a genuine first pressing that is becoming increasingly hard to find On 16-Nov-21 at 15:19:24 GMT, seller added the following information:
If the writing on the labels or back cover are of any concern, they are small enough to be covered with say an orange sticker which would not look out of place,and also place a different one to the top back cover.
