Various Artists - Ziggy Stardust: 50 Years Later (Vinyl)

Ziggy Stardust is a fictional character created by English musician David Bowie, and was Bowie's stage persona during 1972 and 1973. The eponymous character of the song "Ziggy Stardust" and its parent album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972), Ziggy Stardust was retained for Bowie's subsequent concert tour through the United Kingdom, Japan and North America, during which Bowie performed as the character backed by his band The Spiders from Mars. Bowie continued the character in his next album Aladdin Sane (1973), which he described as "Ziggy goes to America". Bowie retired the character in October 1973 after one final show at The Marquee in London.

Building on the success of his albums 'Hunky Dory' and 'Man Who Sold the World', David Bowie forever etched his mark in to the pantheon of classic rock with 1972's 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars'. A truly eclectic concept album of huge scope and vision which influenced countless artists and bands to follow. Exactly 50 Years Later, Pale Wizard Records brings you an exciting line up featuring some of the most renowned bands in the underground scene today paying homage to to this legendary LP in their own contemporary styles.
