The Rise and Fall of
Ziggy Stardust
and the
Spiders from Mars
often shortened to
Ziggy Stardust
is the fifth
studio album
by the
English musician
David Bowie
released on
June,16 1972
in the
United Kingdom
through
RCA Records.
It was co-produced
by Bowie
and
Ken Scott
and features
Bowie's
backing band
the Spiders from Mars
Mick Ronson
(guitar),
Trevor Bolder
(bass)
and
Mick Woodmansey
(drums)
It was recorded from
November 1971
to February 1972
at
Trident Studios
in London.
Described as a
loose concept album
and
rock opera,
Ziggy Stardust
focuses on
Bowie's titular alter ego
Ziggy Stardust,
a fictional androgynous
and
bisexual rock star
who is sent to Earth
as a savior
before an impending
apocalyptic disaster.
Preceded by the single
"Starman",
Ziggy Stardust
reached top five
of the
UK Albums Chart.
Critics responded favorably;
some praised the
musicality and concept
while others struggled
to comprehend it.
Shortly after its release,
Bowie performed
"Starman"
on Britain's
Top of the Pops
in early July 1972,
which propelled him
to stardom.
The Ziggy character
was retained
for the subsequent
Ziggy Stardust Tour,
performances from which
have appeared on
live albums
and a
concert film.
Bowie described the
follow-up album,
Aladdin Sane,
as
"Ziggy goes to America".
In later decades,
Ziggy Stardust
has been considered
one of Bowie's
best works,
appearing on numerous
professional lists
of the
greatest albums
of all time.
Bowie had ideas
for a musical based
on the album,
although this
project never came
to fruition;
ideas were later used
for
Diamond Dogs
(1974).
Ziggy Stardust
has been reissued
several times
In 2017,
it was selected for
preservation in the
National Recording
Registry by the
Library of Congress,
being deemed
"culturally, historically,
or
aesthetically significant".
