'In 1961, the science fiction writer Robert Heinlein publishes a novel whose original title, he’d say, was The Heretic. In what becomes Stranger in a Strange Land, a Jesus-like teacher from Mars has a new, sexed-up message for the human race.
As scholars would note, Stranger in a Strange Land is full of references to the Gospel of Thomas. The name of the novel’s Martian messiah, ‘Valentine Michael Smith’, might recall the key Gnostic teacher, ‘Valentinus’.
A singer from Britain was fascinated by Heinlein’s novel and talked up efforts to make a movie of it, in which he would be the star. Instead, David Bowie wrote a rock album about a ‘leper messiah’—The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.'

David,sei eterno!...David,you're eternal!!!...

Wonder why this wasn't chosen for the front sleeve? Stronger image and love the near window.

WOW! I like the sound of this recording better than any other recordings of this song that I've heard... really good acoustics and the vocals are clearer.His voice was better than ever at this time.. maybe all those ciggys messed with Ziggy's
Singing voice on and off later on...but his Star never really faded through his extraordinary career.
It is a shame that he died in such a way.."liver cancer" and he was still so very creative till the end..makes me wonder what he would've written had he not
died...due the numerous songs / various subjects etc. There's just no telling what more he'd have given
especially during this pandemic and other critical political views.May he journey far and wide thru time and space..the infinite multiverse.

How can every song in this album be a shiny rock classic?

The song that got me into Bowie. Actually the entire album got me into Bowie. But this song especially.
