DAVID BOWIE – THE GOLDEN YEARS by Roger Griffin
This deluxe, beautifully made book by Roger Griffin is a day-by-day account of David Bowie’s life from the start of 1970 to the end of 1980, from the release of ‘The Man Who Sold the World’ to ‘Scary Monsters’.
It details every known recording: session details, who played in the studio, who produced the song, and when and how it was released. It covers every collaboration, including production and guest appearances and features 100’s of photographs.
This stunning collector’s item also highlights Bowie’s film, stage and television appearances: Bowie brought his theatrical training into every performance and created a new form of rock spectacle. The book follows Bowie on his journeys across the countries that fired his imagination and inspired his greatest work, and includes a detailed illustrated discography documenting every Bowie recording during this period, including tracks he left in the vault. Many of these ended up on reissues and compilations, which are covered comprehensively.
Beautifully designed and featuring photographs and ephemera from the period, The Golden Years is an invaluable addition to the shelves of any true Bowie fan. You may not be able to travel back in time to experience (or re-experience) the Bowie phenomenon, but this gorgeous book is the next best thing.
This special package includes a free, extremely limited 9×12” eight-colour screen print worth £25, signed by artist Justin Hampton.
