Story & Background
That 1972 copy, a 2ND press RCA Victor, encapsulates the mystical aura of its release year. A fascinating detail on the cover, immortalised by Mick Rock on Heddon Street in London, is the faded sign of the furrier "K. West" looming above Bowie-Ziggy. Although it was pure chance – the shop was there – that name soon became the subject of countless interpretations by fans, who sought hidden meanings in the definitive manifesto of glam rock. Years later, Bowie himself reflected on how that coincidence seemed almost prophetic, suggesting a kind of "quest" (ricerca) or journey intrinsic to his alien alter ego. It's a perfect example of how even mundane elements can absorb profound meaning in the iconography of such a revolutionary work, making every viewing of the cover a layered experience for the most discerning collector and critic.
