David Bowie's "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars," released on June 16, 1972, stands as a seminal glam rock concept album. Produced by Bowie and Ken Scott under RCA Records, the album spans 38 minutes and 37 seconds, blending glam rock, art rock, and proto-punk. Recorded at Trident Studios in London from November 1971 to February 1972, the album features Bowie alongside the Spiders from Mars: Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder, and Mick "Woody" Woodmansey. The record follows Ziggy Stardust, an androgynous alien rock star who comes to a dying Earth with a message of hope but ultimately succumbs to fame and self-destruction. Bowie drew inspiration from figures like Vince Taylor and Iggy Pop, science fiction works such as A Clockwork Orange, and Japanese kabuki theater. Themes include alienation, fame, apocalypse, gender fluidity, and the mythology of rock stardom, capturing the early 1970s' cultural blend of hedonism and existential dread. The album's 11 tracks include highlights like "Five Years," a ballad foretelling Earth's doom; "Moonage Daydream," which introduces Ziggy’s persona; and "Starman," a hopeful hit single inspired by "Over the Rainbow." It also features a bluesy cover of Ron Davies’ "It Ain’t Easy," the only non-Bowie composition.

David Bowie's performance of "Starman" on Lift Off with Ayshea, recorded on June 15, 1972, was broadcast on June 21, 1972. The original master tape was accidentally wiped by Granada Television during an attempt to digitize their archives, as a technician misunderstood instructions and deleted tapes not marked for preservation. In January 2019, reports surfaced that a fan had recorded the performance on a home video recorder using computer tape, a precursor to VHS. This fragile tape was discovered and was being restored by "baking" it in an incubator for potential inclusion in the BBC documentary David Bowie: Finding Fame. However, the restoration process was uncertain due to the tape's degraded condition, and there’s no evidence it was successfully restored or publicly released. The audio of the performance has survived and is available, for example, on YouTube, synced with still images or unrelated footage from other 1972 Bowie performances.

David Bowie Concert March 17, 1972. This date was important for two reasons. Firstly, stylist Suzi Fussey had dyed Bowie’s hair red before the concert. She also gave him the haircut that would soon become known as the Ziggy style. Although a darker red would be used later, Bowie’s new stage persona was beginning to form. "He walked over to show me a photo in a magazine. It was of a model for fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto with short, red, spiky hair. He said, ‘Can you do that?’ As I said yes, I was thinking, ‘That’s a little weird – it’s a woman’s hairstyle. And how am I going to actually do it?’ Inside, however, I was excited – this was a chance to be very creative. David was rock-star thin with white skin, a long neck, a great face – if I could pull it off, it would look fantastic. It took me about a half an hour to cut, and when I finished, his hair didn’t stand up. It kind of flopped. I looked at David, and he was panicking, and I wasn’t feeling too bright. I said, ‘Listen, David, the second we tint your hair, the colour will change the texture and it will stand up.’ I prayed I was right. I found the colour, Schwarzkopf Red Hot Red with 30 volume peroxide to give it a bit of lift. There was no ‘product’ in those days to help me make it stand up, so I used Gard, an anti-dandruff treatment that I kept for the old girls at the salon – it set hair like stone. The second David saw himself in the mirror with that short, red, spiky hair, all doubts disappeared. Angie and I looked at him in awe, he looked so good. A huge wave of relief washed over me: I’d done it! I hadn’t known it was going to work until I felt the texture changing in my hands as I was drying it, and it stood up. He looked amazing. I started gathering my things together to leave, and Angie said, ‘Oh, how much do we owe you?’ I think I said, ‘£2, please." Suzi Ronson Daily Mail Fussey first applied a light red dye, setting the top with Guard setting lotion. However, Bowie soon desired a darker shade. They discovered the right hue a few days later when Bowie showed her a magazine featuring a photo of model Marie Helvin, dressed in designs by Japanese designer Kansai Yamamoto. On stage, Bowie frequently used red lighting to amplify the effect. The second reason involved Bowie's initial encounter with Mick Rock. Rock attended the event to report on it for Rolling Stone, after suggesting the concept to the magazine's London editor. Prior to the show, he peeked into Bowie's dressing room and introduced himself. Bowie responded, "I like your name. It can't be real..." According to Rock, they hit it off straight away and Bowie invited him to come back to Beckenham after the show to do an interview. Rock then shot his first frames in the dressing room before Bowie took the stage. "I didn't know how to shoot a live concert then, so there is a certain looseness of framing. It was actually through David that I learnt how to shoot live." Mick Rock 2002 Music Press Review DAVID BOWIE (Birmingham Town Hall, Friday). Foxee lady. While London gets Raymond, Birmingham puts on its handbags and glad-rags and stares through its lorgnette at Dave. Don't miss Mick Ronson, either. Great acoustic guitar, particularly on Andy Warhol," and 66 enough face powder to last the local repertory company for a week

David Bowie performed at the Great Hall in Imperial College, London, on February 12, 1972 as part of his Ziggy Stardust Tour. This performance is often noted as one of the early shows of the Ziggy Stardust Tour, which was pivotal in launching Bowie's career to new heights. It was the fourth date of the tour and is considered by some to be the first proper "Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders from Mars" show, despite the band not being billed under that name yet. Setlist: The set included several songs such as "Queen Bitch," "The Wild-Eyed Boy From Freecloud," "Space Oddity," "Amsterdam," "Andy Warhol," "I Feel Free," "Round And Round," "Suffragette City," "Waiting For The Man," and "Rock ’n’ Roll Suicide." Notably, "Suffragette City" was performed live here just eight days after its recording session, showcasing Bowie's rapid integration of new material into his live performances. Audience: Among the audience were notable figures like Queen's guitarist Brian May, who was an Imperial College student at the time, and drummer Roger Taylor. The support act for this concert was The Sutherland Brothers. Cost and Atmosphere: Tickets for the show were priced at 50 pence, which was quite affordable, contributing to a packed house. The performance was described as captivating, with Bowie bringing a theatrical element to rock music, enchanting the audience with his stage presence and song selections. Media Coverage: The concert was documented by various sources over the years. French TV film crew Claude Ventura was present to capture footage for the 'Pop Deux' program, illustrating the growing international interest in Bowie's performances. There's also mention of a color version of "Suffragette City" from this concert being restored and shared online, highlighting its historical significance. Impact: This show was part of the series of performances that helped define the Ziggy Stardust persona and establish Bowie's reputation for innovative live shows that combined music with theater, fashion, and performance art.

The first gig of the Ziggy Stardust tour took place at Aylesbury Friars in the Borough Assembly Hall January 29, 1972 featuring Bowie with his backing group the Spiders from Mars: (not billed) guitarist Mick Ronson, bassist Trevor Bolder, and drummer Mick Woodmansey. Audio engineer Robin Mayhew had been working on the PA and sound equipment since the end of the previous year and was the principal sound engineer for the entire tour. Unlike typical rock concerts at the time, the shows featured a theatrical element with a rough storyline and several make-up and costume changes. Bowie aimed to make the shows entertaining and outrageous, akin to what the Beatles and the Rolling Stones had achieved at one time and collaborated with mime artist Lindsay Kemp on-stage choreography. Introduced by Walter Carlos' Clockwork Orange theme, Bowie emerged in a fresh green jumpsuit surrounded by stunning strobe lights. Queen members Roger Taylor and Freddie Mercury were in the audience to witness Bowie's transformation, who was billed tonight as the Most Beautiful Person in the World. In the press coverage, Kris Needs described the gig as "the night that invented the seventies".

Defying Rock Conventions with Queen’s Theatrical Flair (Nov 24, 1991)

David Bowie released "Hallo Spaceboy," backed with "The Hearts Filthy Lesson," along with live versions of "Under Pressure" and "Moonage Daydream," on February 19, 1996. These tracks were taken from his 20th studio album, "Outside" (1995). It began as an instrumental piece by Reeves Gabrels titled "Moondust", which Bowie and Brian Eno reworked into the final version. The song is an industrial rock and electronica piece, drawing influence from the Pixies and Nine Inch Nails, and features a hypnotic sound with synthesizers, loops, and distorted guitar lines. Lyrically inspired by Brion Gysin, it presents apocalyptic imagery and continues the androgynous themes found in earlier Bowie songs like "Rebel Rebel". For its release as the third and final single from "Outside" in February 1996, "Hallo Spaceboy" was remixed by the Pet Shop Boys, who infused it with a disco vibe and added lyrics referencing Major Tom from Bowie's "Space Oddity." The single reached number 12 in the UK and charted in other parts of Europe. Its music video, directed by David Mallet, combines shots of Bowie and the Pet Shop Boys with clips of science fiction, atomic bomb tests, and television advertisements. Both versions of "Hallo Spaceboy" have been well-received and featured on lists of Bowie's best songs. Bowie frequently performed "Hallo Spaceboy" on his concert tours, with recordings appearing on live albums.

MARC a music show hosted by Marc Bolan on ITV in the UK, made it debut August 24, 1977. The show was a significant moment in British television, showcasing a mix of glam rock, punk, and pop performances, reflecting the vibrant music scene of the late 1970s. It aired in the late afternoon, targeting a younger audience, and was produced by Muriel Young for Granada Television. The series ran for six episodes, with the final one airing posthumously after Bolan's tragic death in a car accident on September 16, 1977. First Episode (August 24, 1977): The debut episode featured a lineup of performances, highlighting both Marc Bolan’s work with T. Rex and other contemporary acts. "Sing Me a Song" - Marc Bolan with T. Rex A track performed by Bolan and his band, T. Rex, showcasing their signature glam rock sound. By 1977, T. Rex was past its early-1970s peak but still a major draw, with Bolan reinventing himself in the punk era. "All Around the World" - The Jam The Jam, led by Paul Weller, were a rising force in the UK punk/mod revival scene. This song was their debut single, released in July 1977, and its inclusion on Marc reflected Bolan’s interest in the emerging punk movement. The Jam’s raw energy contrasted with T. Rex’s more polished glam style. "I Love to Boogie" - Marc Bolan with T. Rex A 1976 hit from T. Rex’s album Dandy in the Underworld. This upbeat, rockabilly-infused track was a fan favorite and showed Bolan’s ability to adapt his sound to remain relevant. "Cool Wind From the North" - Stephanie de Sykes Stephanie de Sykes was a British singer known for her work on TV theme songs and pop singles. This track was less prominent but added variety to the episode, showcasing a softer, pop-oriented sound. "No Russians In Russia" - Radio Stars Radio Stars were a punk/new wave band formed by ex-members of Jet. This song, from their 1977 album Songs for Swinging Lovers, brought a quirky, satirical edge to the lineup, aligning with the punk ethos of the time. "Heart Throb's Dance" (You Made Me Believe In Magic/ BCR) Heart Throb's Dance a performance of You Made Me Believe in Magic by Bay City Rollers. "Celebrate Summer" - Marc Bolan with T. Rex A single from 1977, this was one of T. Rex’s final releases before Bolan’s death. It captured a summery, optimistic vibe, though it didn’t achieve the chart success of earlier hits. "You Got What It Takes" - Showaddywaddy Showaddywaddy were a rock ‘n’ roll revival band known for covering 1950s-style hits. This 1977 single was a UK Top 10 hit, adding a nostalgic contrast to the punk and glam acts on the show. "Jeepster" - Marc Bolan with T. Rex A classic T. Rex hit from 1971, performed to close the episode. Jeepster was a nod to Bolan’s glam rock legacy, reinforcing his status as a pioneer of the genre. Marc Bolan was not just a performer but the charismatic host, introducing acts and engaging with the audience. His support for new bands like The Jam showed his forward-thinking approach, bridging glam and punk. He reportedly saw punk as a natural evolution of his own rebellious style. The show captured a transitional moment in music, blending established acts (T. Rex, Showaddywaddy) with emerging punk and new wave (The Jam, Radio Stars). It was filmed in Manchester, with a lively studio audience, adding to its energetic vibe. Production Notes: The Marc show was a half-hour program, airing at 4:45 PM, a slot aimed at teenagers. It featured colorful sets and a mix of live performances and pre-recorded segments. Bolan’s charm and star power were central to its appeal. Tragically, the Marc series was one of Marc Bolan’s last projects. His passing just weeks after the first episode aired made the show a poignant part of his legacy. The final episode included a tribute to him. Clips and episodes of Marc are available on platforms like YouTube, and some have been released on DVD as part of T. Rex collections.

The Strawbs "Lay Down" backed with "Backside" was released in the UK as a 7" vinyl single on October 13, 1972. There's nothing particularly interesting about it, except for the B-side being titled attributed to "Ciggy Barlust and the Whales from Venus", an obvious allusion to David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars , further interest is aroused when listening to the lyrics "The boy stood on the burning stage, his back against the mast He did not dare to turn around till Davy Bowie passed The stardust painted round his eyes was really fading fast Oh but I think I'm going to come again Oh but I think I'm going to come again The spiders from Uranus were climbing up the walls With such a space (?) the oddity, his fey libido calls But the people in the front row can only see his smalls Oh but I think I'm going to come again Oh but I think I'm going to come again" It was actually a Strawbs composition credited to all members of the band at that time. Another Bowie link is that the song was brought to the public's attention again in 2007 when it featured on the BBC television series Life on Mars . Here's a cutting from Record Mirror, February 17, 1973.

Sparks’ Kimono My House first entered UK Albums Chart on June 1, 1974 peaking at number 4 on the week of August 16, as part of a of 19 week run.

Slade's fourth studio album Old New Borrowed And Blue was released on February 15, 1974, it topped the UK Albums Chart at No. 1 and has received a Gold certification from the BPI. Chas Chandler produced the album, during which Slade sought to diverge from their standard rock style. This is evident in the singles "My Friend Stan" and "Everyday," which were piano-driven and lacked the characteristic "Slade" sound. In the US, the album was issued by Warner Bros. under the name Stomp Your Hands, Clap Your Feet, excluding the tracks "My Town" and "My Friend Stan" since they had already been released there on Sladest. Old New Borrowed and Blue was recorded amidst various tours and promotional activities in late 1973, coinciding with drummer Don Powell's recovery from a nearly fatal car accident in July, which briefly cast doubt on the band's future. Despite his severe condition, Powell managed to recover, allowing the band to soon enter the studio to work on their new album. During the recording of "My Friend Stan," Powell was still using a stick to walk and needed assistance to get onto his drum stool. On this album, the band aimed to maintain their usual style on some tracks, while exploring different musical directions on others. According to Holder, the album's title was inspired by its content, which the band felt included a mix of old, new, borrowed, and blue songs. ""My Friend Stan" was released as the album's lead single in September 1973, reaching No. 2 in the UK charts. During Christmas 1973, the band also found success with their No. 1 single "Merry Xmas Everybody". The album "Old New Borrowed and Blue" came out in February 1974, securing the No. 1 spot in the UK. Before its release, the album was awarded Gold by BPI in the UK based solely on pre-order sales. A Slade spokesperson informed the Record Mirror that the album had sold twice as many cartridges and cassettes as their previous releases. In March, the album's second single, "Everyday," climbed to No. 3. In the United States, "Stomp Your Hands, Clap Your Feet" reached No. 168. "Good Time Gals" was released there as a single in February 1974, and "When the Lights Are Out" followed in May in both America and Belgium. Neither of these singles made a chart impact.
