' Released: 11 April 1974 The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (often shortened to Ziggy Stardust) is the fifth studio album by English musician, released on 6 June 1972 in the United Kingdom. It was produced by Bowie and and features contributions from, Bowie's backing band –,. The album was recorded in, London, like his previous album,. Most of the album was recorded in November 1971 with further sessions in January and early February 1972.
Described as a loose, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is about Bowie's titular Ziggy Stardust, a fictional rock star who acts as a messenger for extraterrestrial beings. The character was retained for the subsequent through the United Kingdom, Japan and North America. The album, and the character of Ziggy Stardust, were influenced by and explored themes of sexual exploration and social taboos. A, directed by, was recorded in 1973 and released a decade later. Considered Bowie's greatest album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars peaked at number five on the and number 75 in the US chart.
As of January 2016 it had sold 7.5 million copies worldwide. The album received widespread critical acclaim and has been considered one of the greatest albums of all time. In 2017, it was selected for preservation in the, being deemed 'culturally, historically, or artistically significant' by the. Contents. Recording and production Bowie started working on his fourth album, on 8 June 1971 at, London.
In New York heard the tapes and signed him to a three-album deal on 9 September. Hunky Dory was released on 17 December to positive reviews and moderate commercial success. Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust were almost recorded back-to-back, but much of the material for Ziggy Stardust was recorded before Hunky Dory was released. His backing band realised that most of the songs on Hunky Dory were not suitable live material, so they needed a follow-up that could be toured behind.
Ziggy Stardust 's sessions also took place at Trident, using a M56. The sessions started on 8 November 1971, with the bulk of the album recorded that month, and concluded on 4 February 1972. Bowie had recorded early versions of the songs 'Moonage Daydream' and 'Hang On to Yourself' in February 1971, for the side project, and had taped demos of 'Ziggy Stardust' and 'Lady Stardust' around that time. The November 1971 sessions produced the final versions of those four songs, along with 'Rock 'n' Roll Star' (later shortened to 'Star'), 'Soul Love', and 'Five Years', as well as some unreleased tracks. In 2012, co-producer said that '95 percent of the vocals on the four albums I did with him as producer, they were first takes.'
Also recorded during the November sessions were five more songs: two covers, 's ' (re-titled 'Round and Round') and 's ' (re-titled 'Port of Amsterdam'); and three original tracks: ', and re-recordings of ' and '. All these songs were initially slated for the album. Bowie also intended ', ' and ' to be on a Ziggy Stardust musical, which was later aborted. After recording some of the new songs for radio presenter 's as the newly dubbed in January 1972, the band returned to Trident that month to begin work on 'Suffragette City' and 'Rock 'n' Roll Suicide'. RCA executive Dennis Katz had complained that the album did not contain a single, so Bowie wrote 'Starman,' which was completed on 4 February 1972.
'Starman' was released as a single on 28 April 1972, and became a hit after a successful performance on the television program Top of the Pops. The cover 'It Ain't Easy', recorded on 9 July 1971 during the Hunky Dory sessions, closed the first side of the album. Concept and themes The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars is about a alien rock superstar, called Ziggy Stardust. Ziggy Stardust was not conceived as a and much of the story was written after the album was recorded.
The characters were., drummer for the Spiders from Mars, said the clothes they had worn had 'femininity and sheer outrageousness', and that the characters' looks 'definitely appealed to our rebellious artistic instincts'. Nenad Georgievski of said the record was presented with 'high-heeled boots, multicolored dresses, extravagant makeup and outrageous sexuality'. Bowie had already developed an appearance, which was approved by critics, but received mixed reactions from audiences. His love of acting led his total immersion in the characters he created for his music. After acting the same role over an extended period, it became impossible for him to separate Ziggy Stardust from his own offstage character. Bowie said that Ziggy 'wouldn't leave me alone for years. That was when it all started to go sour.
My whole personality was affected. It became very dangerous. I really did have doubts about my sanity.' Fearing that Ziggy would define his career, Bowie quickly developed the persona of in his subsequent album. Unlike Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane was far less optimistic, instead engaging in aggressive sexual activities and heavy drugs. Singer Vince Taylor ( pictured in 1963), one of the main inspirations for the character Ziggy Stardust.
The character was inspired by British rock 'n' roll singer, whom David Bowie met after Taylor had had a breakdown and believed himself to be a cross between a god and an alien. However, Taylor was only part of the blueprint for the character. Other influences included the cult musician and, who designed the costumes Bowie wore during the tour. An alternative theory is that, during a tour, Bowie developed the concept of Ziggy as a melding of the persona of with the music of, producing 'the ultimate pop idol'. A girlfriend recalled his 'scrawling notes on a cocktail napkin about a crazy rock star named Iggy or Ziggy', and on his return to England he declared his intention to create a character 'who looks like he's landed from Mars'.
The Ziggy Stardust name came partly from the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, and partly because Ziggy was 'one of the few Christian names I could find beginning with the letter 'Z'. In 1990, Bowie explained that the 'Ziggy' part came from a tailor's shop called Ziggy's that he passed on a train. He liked it because it had 'that Iggy Pop connotation but it was a tailor's shop, and I thought, Well, this whole thing is gonna be about clothes, so it was my own little joke calling him Ziggy. So Ziggy Stardust was a real compilation of things.' He later asserted that Ziggy Stardust was born out of a desire to move away from the denim and hippies of the 1960s. Along these lines, some critics assert that Bowie's artificial concoction of a rock star persona was a symbolic critique of the artificiality seen in the rock world of the time.
The album's concept is loose, and pieced together after many of the songs were already recorded. Indeed, before the album's initial release Bowie told a US interviewer: What you have there on that album when it does finally come out, is a story which doesn’t really take place, it’s just a few little scenes from the life of a band called Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, who could feasibly be the last band on Earth—it could be within the last five years of Earth. I’m not at all sure.
Because I wrote it in such a way that I just dropped the numbers into the album in any order that they cropped up. It depends in which state you listen to it in. With only five years left to survive, the earth is saved by the rock n' roll messiah, Ziggy Stardust. He wins the hearts of teens, scares parents, seduces everyone in his path, and eventually dies a victim of his own fame. According to Bowie, he 'takes himself up to the incredible spiritual heights and is kept alive by his disciples'.
During the song 'Rock 'n' Roll Suicide', the infinites arrive, and tear Ziggy Stardust to pieces on stage. This wider interpretation of the Ziggy mythology is not explicitly stated anywhere in the album, but has been perpetuated over the years by fans and Bowie himself. Music and lyrics Ziggy Stardust has been retrospectively described as. Nenad Georgievski felt the record represents Bowie's interests in 'theater, dance, and science fiction.' For the album, Mick Ronson used an electric guitar plugged to a 100-watt and a; Bowie played acoustic rhythm guitar. The album begins with ', which opens with a drum. The track contains a repeated, resembling early 1950s music.
'Five Years' sets up the central conflict of the album, the imminent destruction of earth. The next track, ', has a - orchestration. In the song, Bowie's vocals are double tracked, which gives an effect of two people singing and suggests a band performance. Bowie also performs the alto saxophone on this song. The following track, ', uses harmonic and melodic, and -style percussion and guitar. 'Moonage Daydream' introduces the alien messiah that will rescue the earth from disaster.
' was the last song written on the album and the first released as a single. 'Starman' replaced the cover of Chuck Berry's 'Round and Round' when the band decided their album needed a single; it is perhaps the most concrete description of Ziggy's role in the rescue of earth. 'It Ain't Easy' is a raucous cover of.
Its arrangement was described by Ned Raggett as 'a cabaret confection and a blasting rock apocalypse', characterized by quieter verses contrasting with choruses that contain overdubbed backing vocals and Ronson's 'brilliantly triumphant guitar'. The track closes the first side of the album. 'Lady Stardust' has a moderate, piano accompaniment and a pop hook. The guitar and Bowie's and Ronson's arrangement on 'Hang On to Yourself' resemble late 1970s. 'Suffragette City', one of the greatest hits of the album, is a 'straight-ahead' track which contains a saxophone-like section, produced with an. The last track of the album, 'Rock 'n' Roll Suicide,' builds upon its minimalistic acoustic guitar textures as Ziggy's desperate message struggles to enlighten his earthling audience.
The arc of the album reaches its climax as the starman belts out his final words of wisdom before perishing onstage. Ziggy Stardust 's concept and music were influenced by Bowie's earlier album, the lead singer of the proto-punk band, vocalist and songwriter of, lead singer of glam rock band, guitarist and singer; and progressive rock band.
The album's lyrics discuss the artificiality of rock music in general, political issues, drug use, sexual orientation and stardom. Described the album's lyrics as 'fractured, paranoid' and 'evocative of a decadent, decaying future'. Artwork and packaging. Commemorative plaque for Ziggy Stardust in Heddon Street, where the original album cover photo was taken. The photograph was taken by outside 'K.
West' at 23 Heddon Street, London in January 1972, looking south-east towards the centre of the city. Bowie said of the sign, 'It's such a shame that sign went was removed. People read so much into it. They thought 'K.
West' must be some sort of code for 'quest.' It took on all these sort of mystical overtones.'
The post office in the background (now 'The Living Room, W1' bar) was the site of London's first nightclub, which opened in 1912. As part of street renovations, in April 1997 a red ' phonebox was returned to the street, replacing a modern blue phonebox, which in turn had replaced the original phonebox featured on the rear cover.
Of the album's packaging in general, Bowie said: The idea was to hit a look somewhere between the thing with the one mascaraed eyelash and insects. It was the era of,. It was a cross between that and that really started to put together the shape and the look of what Ziggy and the Spiders were going to become.
Everything had to be infinitely symbolic.' The cover was among the ten chosen by the for a set of 'Classic Album Cover' postage stamps issued in January 2010. The rear cover of the original vinyl LP contained the instruction 'TO BE PLAYED AT MAXIMUM VOLUME' (in caps). The instruction was omitted, however, from re-releases. In March 2012, which owns and Heddon Street, installed a commemorative brown plaque at No. 23 in the same place as the 'K. West' sign on the cover photo. The unveiling was attended by original band members Woodmansey and Bolder, and was unveiled.
The plaque was the first to be installed by The Crown Estate and is one of the few plaques in the country devoted to fictional characters. Release and promotion.

An ambiguity surrounding (even after Bowie declared himself as gay) and a performance of ' on brought public attention to the album. Indeed, the Top of the Pops performance helped to solidify Bowie as a controversial pop icon. In a 2010 interview in Rolling Stone, Bono said, 'The first time I saw him was singing 'Starman' on television. It was like a creature falling from the sky.
