Ziggy Stardust To Get A 50th Anniversary Reissue As David Bowie ‘Starman’ Turns 50

The now classic David Bowie song ‘Starman’ turned 50 this week. That has sparked a 50th anniversary edition of the album it was from ‘Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars’.

‘Starman’ was released on 28 April, 1972. ‘Ziggy’ followed on 16 June 1972.

The 50th anniversary ‘Ziggy Stardust’ reissue 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.

Bowie retired Ziggy in July 1973 at the final Spiders From Mars show at London’s Hammersmith Odeon.

The 2022 ‘Ziggy’ will be issued as a limited edition 50th anniversary half speed mastered LP and a picture disc, featuring the same master and a replica promotional poster for the album. The rerelease is coming on 17 June 2022.

I could go to a James Taylor show just for the stories. The man is a part of music history and is still around to tell the tales of how it all began. Like, for instance, being the first artist signed to Apple Records. James “auditioned” for Apple with his song ‘Something In The Way She Moves’. "Paul went away and started the label and George went away and wrote the song”, he said.
