David Bowie The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust - 1st - 1E - G UK vinyl LP album (LP record)
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
Every 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'.
History & Condition
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 0865-1E
The black & white lyric inner has a seam split in the bottom edge, some notable discolouring and creasing.
The picture sleeve has some notable ringwear and edgewear giving it a G grading.
The label is the original thick orange glossy Victor variant & is free from writing or tears, whilst the vinyl itself is the thick & strong pressing, unlike many later pressings which used Dynaflex flexi vinyl. The vinyl [VG] has a few small hairlines and a few general scuff marks, but these cause just a little background noise and the occasional pop, but plays through with no skips.
A very respectable example & a genuine first pressing that is becoming increasingly hard to find.
