Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars turns 50!

Limited edition half-speed mastered LP

Cut from 192kHz restored masters of the original Trident Studios master tapes

David Bowie — The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars limited half-speed master black vinyl LP reissue. This new pressing of The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars was cut on a customised late Neumann VMS80 lathe with fully recapped electronics from 192kHz restored masters of the original Trident Studios master tapes, with no additional processing on transfer. The half speed was cut by John Webber at AIR Studios.

The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars is the breakthrough album that catapulted David Bowie into the international spotlight. Over the past 50 years it has remained a touchstone record, growing in stature with each passing year. It is now ingrained in popular culture, its undeniable influence spanning musicians from Arcade Fire to Lady Gaga, to Harry Styles's androgynous fashion sense to Noel Fielding's shirts on The Great British Bake-Off to Ziggy make-up challenges on Tik-Tok.
