Publisher's note

The career of David Bowie has been one of the most colorful and intriguing in modern rock history. In The Complete David Bowie, now in an updated edition, Nicholas Pegg chronicles the star's every move -- from his first appearance as balladeer Davy Jones in the 60s, and his spectacular, gender-bending turn in the 70s as Ziggy Stardust, to his starring roles in films like "The Man Who Fell to Earth." This definitive reference also includes a detailed production history and an analysis of all of Bowie's albums; hundreds of entries with facts and anecdotes about all his songs, including unreleased rarities; and set lists and histories of every live show.

Annotation

All you could ever want to know about David Bowie and then some, Nicholas Pegg's THE COMPLETE DAVID BOWIE alphabetically lists all the artist's songs from the merely unfamiliar ("Abdulmajid") to the totally obscure ("Zion," anyone?), as well as itemizing all the releases on which they appear: these are then neatly catalogued in their turn. In addition, bootleg recordings, live performances from the late 1960s to 2002, television and radio appearances, TV shows, film and theatre appearances, and more are featured in a cornucopia of information. Pegg's often incisive comments are an added bonus in a substantial 600-page volume that functions both as invaluable reference work and oblique biography, and which practically redefines the meaning of comprehensive. Pegg's extensive album annotations often digress to such fascinating subjects as who provided the inspiration for Bowie's Ziggy Stardust character (UK-born minor rock star Vince Taylor), and the recording of the revolutionary-sounding LOW album. Arguably the definitive research work on David Bowie's career, THE COMPLETE DAVID BOWIE is an indispensable aid to understanding the oeuvre of one of the late 20th century's most creative and intriguing artists.
