A one‑page Record Mirror feature charting the return of the Spiders From Mars, the band once synonymous with David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust era.

Written by Ray Fox‑Cumming, the article explores how Trevor Bolder revived the group, recruited new members Dave Black and Pete McDonald, navigated management setbacks, and prepared for a fresh chapter with a debut album and new single “(I Don’t Wanna Do No) Limbo.” It balances nostalgia for their Bowie years with the band’s determination to establish a new identity, offering a valuable snapshot of the Spiders in transition during the mid-1970s.
