David Bowie The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust LP 1972 Australian re

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE:  EBAY INSISTS THAT TRACKABLE POSTAGE IS USED, SO POSTAGE HAS BEEN PRICED TO COMPLY.

Original Australian early reissue pressing on RCA orange label

Borrowing heavily from Marc Bolan's glam rock and the future shock of A Clockwork Orange, David Bowie reached back to the heavy rock of The Man Who Sold the World for The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Constructed as a loose concept album about an androgynous alien rock star named Ziggy Stardust, the story falls apart quickly, yet Bowie's fractured, paranoid lyrics are evocative of a decadent, decaying future, and the music echoes an apocalyptic, nuclear dread. Fleshing out the off-kilter metallic mix with fatter guitars, genuine pop songs, string sections, keyboards, and a cinematic flourish, Ziggy Stardust is a glitzy array of riffs, hooks, melodrama, and style and the logical culmination of glam.
