About This Item
One of 350 specially-bound deluxe copies from the overall limited edition of 2500. Full blue leather with a gold Ziggy lightning bolt, gilt-lettered spine, text-block edges gilt. Publisher's cloth box. A Fine copy.
Signed by Bowie and legendary music photographer, Mick Rock. Each of these deluxe copies also contains a Rock signed print not found in the standard copies.
An exquisite publication printed on fourteen different paper stocks; a veritable visual wonder worthy of the celebratory occasion for which it was published, the 30th anniversary of the iconic Ziggy album.
"The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars made Bowie a household name and left a milestone on the highway of popular music, rewriting the terms of the performer's contract with his audience and ushering in a new approach to rock's relationship with artifice and theatre that permanently altered the cultural aesthetic of the twentieth century."(The Complete David Bowie, Pegg)
Synopsis
David Bowie burst into the limelight with his single "Space Oddity." His Ziggy creation was the culmination of many influences, including kabuki, Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, and the costumes of Freddie Burretti and Kansai Yamamoto. Mick Rock is one of the most widely recognized and prolific music photographers of the 1970s and was the only one authorized to record Ziggy.
