EMI Music Canada is proud to announce the release of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars - The Motion Picture on April 1, 2003 (2003)
EMI Music Canada is proud to announce the release of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars - The Motion Picture on April 1, 2003. Available on double CD and DVD, the soundtrack has been completely remixed for stereo and 5.1 by Tony Visconti and the film footage has been entirely re-mastered and re-worked. Available for the first time on CD are the concert introductions along with David Bowies between the song chat. The famous farewell speech (unedited) is included, alongside the full-length version of the track The Width Of A Circle. The DVD includes a new 5.1 surround sound and stereo mix by the legendary producer Tony Visconti responsible for such Bowie classics as Low, Heroes and Scary Monsters. Also included is a new commentary by director D. A. Pennebaker and Tony Visconti. Other DVD extras include a DVD ROM section that features a calendar, screen saver, desktop pictures, icons and web links. It is truly a remarkable film documenting a momentous time in Davids career. The film print has been cleaned and digitally re-mastered and looks better than ever. The events of July 3, 1973 at Londons Hammersmith Odeon made Rock and Roll history: David Bowie retired Ziggy Stardust! His final concert appearance as Ziggy Stardust was the 60th of 40 dates (matinees included) and the last of the planned UK Ziggy Stardust gigs. It has famously become known as "The Retirement Gig." The two Hammersmith Odeon concerts (July 2 & 3, 1973) were designed to take the place of a cancelled second show at Earl's Court. By July 1973, Bowie had been touring and promoting his album for nearly a year without a break. The original plan was for a Ziggy Stardust tour of Europe to follow the third UK Tour, then a third US Tour with 38 confirmed concerts beginning on September 1, 1973 and ending on the October 31, 1973 in Texas. The retirement announcement at the end of the concert came as a major shock to fans, the majority of the music press, and the Spiders From Mars themselves. It later transpired that Bowie had only told his manager and Mick Ronson of his plans to retire Ziggy Stardust.
