Album of the Day

David Bowie’s stint as Ziggy Stardust was among the highlights of the legendary performer’s career; he famously retired the persona with a show at London’s Hammersmith Odeon on this day in 1973. The rise and fall of the glam rock concept album that birthed the character (and such classics as “Starman” and “Suffragette City”) can be heard on Rhino’s ROCK N ROLL STAR! The new 5-CD/1-Blu-Ray Audio set explores the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s journey from February 1971 through the recording of the iconic ZIGGY STARDUST album, and captures the accompanying international mania in the form of UK radio sessions and TV performances, as well as live tracks from an October 1972 show at the Boston Music Hall. Including 29 unreleased tracks and two books, ROCK N ROLL STAR! is the definitive look at one of David Bowie’s greatest albums.
