"Book by book, year by year, the ultimate literary trip through Bowie's greatest decade. With his first starring role in a feature film and his first number 1s on both sides of the Atlantic, 1975 ought to be David Bowie's golden year. But away from the spotlight the suave soul boy of Young Americans is tumbling into a self-made hell of cocaine, witchcraft and the dark fantasies of his new fascist alter-ego, the Thin White Duke. As David goes berserk in the Hollywood hills, back in the Britain he's forsaken there's a Nazi-crazed murderer stalking the streets where he was born, a masked rapist at large and a power-mad grocer's daughter on the rise, while sappy nostalgia grinds pop to a standstill. But there are also restless scamps hanging around a certain King's Road clothes shop, and David's own drug-fuelled genius daring him to make the album of his life. The Seventies are about to reignite with a bang. The sixth volume in Simon Goddard's epic adventure through Bowie's greatest decade, Bowie Odyssey 75 is an intricately plotted tour de force of rock'n'roll, crime, punishment, politics, punk - and a cautionary tale of tragicomic addiction"--Cover, page 4.
