About This Item
Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional for a book of it's age and nature, i.e an ephemeral p/back,and even internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation.It is only the minor and minimal exterior faults described that prevent a higher grading.Despite them,it really is an exceptional copy for brightness and cleanliness.
This is the life story of the first pop superstar of the seventies: David Bowie.
It tells you of his childhood,his schooldays,his first groups,his friendships and romances,of how he nearly became a Buddhist monk.
It tells you of his liking for the music and writing of Anthony Newley, Lou Reed,and Iggy Pop - of the times he dressed in all-black,the times he went scruffy.
It tells you of the family drama before he first became a pop star in 1969 with his song 'Space Oddity',and how he then blew his career, and retreated to Beckenham,Kent,to organise an arts laboratory.
It tells you how he married,kept on writing. . . and then returned two years later with his own style in pop music,that began the Bowie cult.It is. . . The David Bowie Story.
Much of the major part of the book is based on the author's own research and his own interviews with David Bowie,Marc Bolan,Mott the Hoople - and especially his good friend Kenneth Pitt,who was Bowie's manager for five years.
