Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Of all David Bowie's many distinctive personae, none have done more to lodge this most ingenious of British artists in the world's consciousness than his 1972 amalgam of the alien visitor and Christ-like rock star: Ziggy Stardust. Cheap glamour, spacemen and ambiguous sexuality surface throughout the loosely conceptualised collection that is The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. If its premise sounds faintly ludicrous, then inspired and dramatic songs such as "Starman" and "Five Years" dispel all doubts about Bowie's genius, and the theatrically tragic "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" brings the album and it's fictional protagonist to a close. As a cultural and musical signpost, Ziggy Stardust points simultaneously backwards to early rock & roll and forward to the simpler, tougher inclinations of late-1970s punk and New Wave rock. As one of the defining rock albums of the 20th century, its influence is immeasurable. --James Littlewood

Rating: - Masterpiece!
In my opinion, this is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. I first heard it in 1972 (after Starman had got into the charts) and never looked back - been a bowie fan ever since. Bowie's best album still. It contains classics such as Moonage Daydream and Suffragette City and the Spiders never sounded better. Every track is superb, even the oddly sounding 'It ain't easy' penned by Ron Davies (surely not the same Ron Davies who played for Southampton?. It also seems to have a very intimate feel ...

Rating: - getting it off my chest....
I had this new when it came out so it shows how old I am. The record has been reviewed in depth so I won't repeat what's already been said by other reviewers. What I want to say is that this album had a massive impact back in the day partly because we didn't know Bowie then as some sort of Chamelion changing his identity every season. He WAS ziggy stardust...an alien fully formed and here on earth. Everybody who is a Bowie fan has their favourite periods but for me it's this album and the follow up ... Read More

Rating: - Spectacular
I'll keep it short since others before me have reviewed it better than i could.

This album is one of the top 20 of all time and one of my personal favourite records. There's no better collection of tracks put together on an LP and Moonage Daydream maybe one of the best Rock songs of all time.
Every household should have this album

Rating: - The Best Album of All Time
Ziggy Stardust was the greatest rock creation of all-time and this is the best album ever made.
Every single track is a classic, a gem , a work of art.
David Bowie is a living legend and the most talented performer in the history of showbiz.
Fact.
