A volatile, humorous, and revealing portrait of Angie Bowie at the height of her cultural impact — a snapshot of the chaos orbiting the Bowie household in 1974.

A dense, analytical two‑page NME feature exploring Bowie’s pre‑Ziggy catalogue — a “sinister odyssey through a treacherous landscape,” tracing the themes, characters, and transformations that shaped his early work.

This *New Musical Express* feature from January 27, 1973 captures Bowie at a pivotal crossroads. Ziggy Stardust had become a cultural phenomenon — adored, imitated, and increasingly overwhelming. Bowie, ever the shapeshifter, was already preparing his next metamorphosis: the sleeker, more fractured persona of Aladdin Sane.
