Parlophone Records has revealed previously unseen footage from the Ziggy Stardust tour shot in the U.K. during 1972 and 1973 by late David Bowie collaborator and photographer Mick Rock, featuring the album version of “Starman” as its soundtrack.

David Bowie’s The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars is making its debut in Dolby Atmos spatial audio. The new mix of the album will be available on Blu-Ray Audio on September 6.

The Blu-Ray audio disc features four iterations of the album: 2024 Dolby Atmos mix, 2024 Stereo Mix (96 khz / 24-bit pcm), original 1972 Stereo Mix – 2012 remaster (192 khz / 24-bit pcm), and original 1972 Stereo Mix – 2012 remaster (48 khz / 24-bit pcm). The Atmos version of the album was mixed by Emre Ramazanoglu and Ken Scott at RAK Studios, London.

Speaking about the new Dolby Atmos mix, the album’s co-producer Ken Scott says “You’re in there with the act, with David. He was so theatrical I think being able to put him into an immersive place makes this a really good choice for an Atmos mix. My whole philosophy with this has been to make it more like a live experience. And I’ve even got him moving about the stage a little towards the end, the way he would have in real life. Hopefully it just feels as if you’re in the theatre with this amazing show going on.”

The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars is the breakthrough album that catapulted Bowie into the international spotlight. Over the past 50 years, it has remained a touchstone record. Bowie laid to rest the Ziggy Stardust persona in July 1973 at his infamous last show with The Spiders From Mars at London’s Hammersmith Odeon.
