David Bowie - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars [Remastered] (CD 1999)

This was the first Bowie album I ever bought, back in the days of vinyl, it was possibly one of his most famous, and with tracks like Five Years, Moonage Daydream, Starman, Soul Love, Ziggy Stardust & Suffragette City, it was impossible not to get entirely hooked on Bowie, and of course Ziggy.

I then made it my mission to collect everything Bowie had ever done before this album, and since. At the time I figured I might not have much to collect, given his tendency to retire, but the frequency of these retirements, and subsequent comebacks, has ensured a steady stream of additions to the collection.

This album is best appreciated when listened to with young ears. ;-)
