About the book
About The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
"David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars launched his career and established him as the first star of glitter rock, with its ambivalent sexuality, bizarre costuming and makeup, contrived theatricality, and elaborate stage lighting and presentation. This book gives an account of Bowie's entire early career leading up to this landmark album, including his early experimentations with alter-egos, and interest in science fiction and space travel. Illustrated with photos and memorabilia, the book is a must for anyone wishing to relive the heady days of the early '70s."--BOOK JACKET.
