|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
Key Features:
· Authentic one-sided 8" acetate of Starman from Trident Studios, where Bowie recorded much of his seminal work
· Handwritten track title and artist, typical of working production acetates
· Directly linked to the creation and early promotion of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
· A unique collector's artifact from one of the most important moments in Bowie's career
· Running time: 4 minutes 10 seconds
· Full stereo mix with clear channel separation
· Produced early 1972 for internal use
Condition Report:
· Visual: Minor surface marks & hairlines, typical of vintage acetates-no deep scratches
· Audio: Plays cleanly all the way through with minor background noise, occasional light pops
· Crucially: No skips, no jumps, no groove wear issues
· Strong and enjoyable playback for a 50+ year-old acetate
Collectors Note:
Acetates are cut individually and were never intended for commercial distribution. Their limited numbers and fragility make surviving examples of key tracks like Starman especially valuable. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a direct relic from the production of a legendary Bowie single.

is an <B>original UK Trident Studios acetate</B> of
<I>Starman</I>, the iconic single that launched David Bowie into
superstardom in 1972. Featuring a typewritten Trident Studios label
with faint handwritten annotations of the title "Starman" and artist
"David Bowie", this piece offers an authentic connection to the Ziggy
Stardust era. Co-produced by Ken Scott, Bowie recorded the song on
4th February 1972 at Trident Studios in London with his backing band
the Spiders from Mars – comprising guitarist Mick Ronson, bassist
Trevor Bolder and drummer Mick Woodmansey. Cut for in-house use
and immediate playback, acetates like this were also used for
mastering, approval, and promotional purposes, making surviving
examples exceptionally rare and highly sought-after. An exceptional
and historic collector's item from the dawn of glam rock!) )
