Product description
Vibrant psychedelic colors and bold, hand-drawn typography define This print from the dawn of the Ziggy Stardust era. The composition features a striking trio of high-contrast portraits in neon pink and yellow, set against a lemon-yellow background that captures the raw energy of the early 1970s British music scene. Detailed text announces the Slough College Summer Ball on May 13th, 1972, providing a tangible link to a pivotal moment in rock history.
This artwork evokes the DIY spirit of early glam rock, reflecting a time when the Starman was just beginning to ascend. It carries the atmosphere of a sweaty college refectory, the anticipation of a transformative performance, and the experimental visual language that accompanied the rise of a cultural icon. Looking at this print feels like holding a piece of music history, celebrating the bold aesthetics of the pre-fame Ziggy years.
The subject sits squarely within classic rock posters, close in spirit to david bowie prints.
