180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl Pressing!
The Spiders From Mars is an eight-legged, four piece rock band who spin a web of intriguing music. Born from the rib of the rock god Bowie, the Spiders have an honored name on the tablets of rock. Immortalized in the Ziggy Stardust saga, this is the band which backed David Bowie to stardom.
"Mars, fourth planet from the Sun, the Roman god of war. The very word has an emotive ring and just the kind of place that might be inhabited by eight-legged, web spinning creatures. Or an eight-legged, four piece rock band who spin a web of intriguing music. The Spiders From Mars, here on earth, are not so much interested in entrapping insects, as engaging attention. Born from the rib of the rock god David Bowie, the Spiders have an honored name on the tablets of rock. Immortalized in the Ziggy Stardust saga, the band which backed David Bowie to stardom now have their sights set upon higher things for themselves. But a Martian mystery still prevails. Who are these men who bombarded our planet with an intergalactic rhythm? As their cosmic telephone rings, should we answer? It would be a shame if the world chose to ignore the Spiders, for they have immense power, a wide spectrum of ideas is at their command and we Earthlings could well benefit from their superior knowledge." - Chris Welch, Melody Maker
