Review: The legend of the late great David Bowie will always live on, particularly with spectral releases like this still appearing on the regular. Rock 'n' Roll Star! vharts Bowie's journey to Ziggy Stardust across no fewer than six CDs and a blue-ray disc that include early home demos, radio sessions and live performances, session recordings, outtakes and alternate versions of tunes from his The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust record. Unreleased gems on the album include an alternate rendition of 'Lady Stardust,' an unheard version of the cherished 'Shadow Man,' and an upbeat interpretation of The Who's 'I Can't Explain.' Interestingly, Bowie later slowed down and covered this for the PIN-UPS album.

Review: A yawning chasm has been left in rock music by the untimely departure of David Robert Jones, making documents such as this one all the more poignant and powerful, all the more so for it recording the last tour he embarked on. Here, with a crack selection of musicians including longterm sidemen Mike Garson and Earl Slick, he essayed classics like 'Life On Mars', '80s tunes like a beautifully rearranged 'Loving The Alien' and newer material 'Reality' itself with enough charisma and style to fuel fifty live shows. There'll never be a star that burns brighter than Bowie, and he's on scintillating form here.
