The Press Kit also included two official Ryko sheets of information, a photocopy of the Rolling Stone's article which ranked Ziggy Stardust as the 6th best album of the last 20 years and a promotional glossy photograph containing two images of David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust taken by Sukita in August 1972.

Rykodisc, an independent US company specializing in high quality LP releases, had been willing to re-release Bowie's Ziggy Stardust album if they could also include bonus tracks of rare or previously unreleased material. Bowie agreed.
The Rykodisc Bowie LP won unanimous praise for its incredible audiophile-quality sound. The differences to be heard in contrast to the original RCA LP and is in no way subtle or minor. This LP sounds alive and three-dimensional - the RCA original sounds like a cheap AM radio in comparison. Instruments that were inaudible on the RCA Lp and are clearly heard here, as are bits of echo and other effects totally absent from the original LP release.
The very rare & collectible advance release PROMO contains various promotional overview inserts as well as a nice glossy promo photo (not a xerox, but, a real photo...and its nice)
Rykodisc's release of David Bowie's epochal THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS features an additional PROMOTIONAL-ONLY Compact Disc featuring 5 bonus "rarities" tracks from the session. The record/CD is packaged in a gatefold jacket plus digital remastering, restored graphics and lyrics, and additional photographs -- released in Limited Edition, pressed on Clear, 100% Virgin Vinyl, Direct Metal Mastered, and presented in a Rice-Paper Innersleeve.
After flirting with heavy guitar rock ("The Man Who Sold the World") and lighter pop ("Hunky Dory"), Bowie found middle ground on Ziggy Stardust. The creation of the Ziggy Stardust persona would live on well after Bowie shed the alien skin, marking the first rock concept album by a sexually ambiguous, artistically bent musician who confounded critics at every turn. A blend of dramatic arrangements, swaggering vocals, jagged guitars, and theatrical arrangements, the album's darker rock numbers like "It Ain't Easy," "Moonage Daydream," "Ziggy Stardust," and the irresistible "Suffragette City," still serve as solid excursions into the future (then and now) of rock. The buoyant "Hang on to Yourself" and the dreamy "Star" offer hints of optimism in Ziggy's bleak world. The dramatic "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" and the image-heavy "Star Man" ("he'd like to come and meet us but thinks he'd blow our minds!") no doubt provided plenty of stage-worthy moments when Ziggy toured in the '70s, but years later they still thrill. Bowie blew our minds!

We ship all LP's in new (unused) custom LP mailers. We pack records with filler pads, placing the disc in an inner sleeve outside the cover to prevent seam splitting in transit. Part of our postage fee covers the cost of the mailer and pads (which currently costs us up to a dollar per).

RECORD GRADING POLICY
MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale
EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Fair = you'?re getting this record just to own but not to play
Poor = the sky's the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest
