“I was quick on the ball”
If you’ve been deliberating over Taschen’s superb Mick Rock book: The Rise of David Bowie, 1972–1973, you may want to consider purchasing it before the new year.
As is normal with these limited editions, the price increases as stock is depleted and this one is no exception. On January 1st, the cost of the book will rise by approximately 43%, from $700 to $1,000.
Limited to a total of 1,972 numbered copies signed by David Bowie and Mick Rock, the book is available as Collector’s Edition (No. 201-1,972), and also in two Art Editions of 100 copies each, with a pigment print signed by Mick Rock.
The live shot here is from the book and was taken at Aberdeen Music Hall in Scotland on 16th May, 1973.

Meanwhile, Danny Eccleston has interviewed Rock about the book and working with Bowie during the Ziggy years for this online MOJO piece.
