From the author
The idea for Album Listening Notes was inspired while reading Tony Fletcher's excellent biography, Dear Boy: The Life of Keith Moon. Immersing myself in the cultural backdrop of the era, the dynamics within The Who, and the nuances of their instrumentation and production, I listened to their music with fresh ears. This combination of context and sound transformed my experience, deepening my appreciation for the music.

I soon found myself craving similar insights every time I settled in to listen to an album—seeking stories, background, and meaning to accompany the tracks.

This book provides exactly that for Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie: a deep dive into its creation, track-by-track analysis, and the fascinating details behind this iconic album. I hope it enhances your enjoyment every time you press play on this masterpiece.
