the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars - david bowie

honestly i love this album so much i'm surprised i took so long to buy the CD of it! i absolutely ADORE david bowie, and ziggy stardust has to be my favourite of his albums that i've listened to in full. there was a period when i was listening to it, like, twice a day, i just love it so much!! i was sick and tired of not having it on CD, and i wanted a proper one (nothing against home made CDs, i really love them, but i prefer to reserve those for albums i cannot get a CD for like tfsotfp or mixtape-type ones like symphonic songs), so i looked for a while on ebay and managed to snag a 30th anniversary edition with some damage to the case for a fiver. it's absolutely amazing, it's a 2CD AND it has a booklet thing attached to the inside (that's the broken part of the cover, it was ripped out so i had to tape it back in, i don't mind AT ALL though i'm enamoured). it's not a jewel case, it's a lovely hardback-type thing, the CDs are stored in page-like pockets at the front and back of the "book". i won't upload the pages here but if you want to see them please please email me and i'll scan them over!!
