David Bowie / Alternate Ziggy cover

This is the newly created cover to the ‘other’ version of David Bowie‘s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars that is included as part of the forthcoming Five Years 1969-1973 box set.

The classic album appears twice in both the CD and vinyl versions of Five Years. The first version is the 2012 remastered edition of the original mix which of course utilises the standard cover art. The second version is the 2003 Ken Scott mix which was included on the DVD that came with the 2012 vinyl reissue and also appeared on SACD.

The artwork is of course an outtake from the famous Brian Ward Ziggy sleeve session in London’s Heddon Street and it has been coloured in the style of Terry Pastor’s original colour scheme.

Five Years 1969-1973 is released on 25 September 2015. Loads more details, should you need them, here.
