David Bowie & The Story of Ziggy Stardust DVD (2012)

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is arguably the most important album in the mind blowing career of David Bowie. Released in 1972, it's the record that set the mercurial musician on course to becoming one of the best-known pop stars on the planet. In just over a year, Bowie's messianic Martian invaded the minds of the nation's youth with a killer combination of extraterrestrial rock 'n' roll & outrageous sexuality, all delivered in high-heeled boots, multi-coloured dresses & extravagant make-up. In Bowie's own words, Ziggy was 'a cross between Nijinsky & Woolworths', - Ziggy turned Bowie into stardust. This doco tells the story of how Bowie arrived at one of the most iconic creations in the history of pop music. The songs, the hairstyles, the fashion and the theatrical stage presentation that merged together to turn David Bowie into the biggest craze since The Beatles.
