    Ultimately still mesmerising, enhanced by photos and memorabilia-stacked book plus 36-page reproduction of Bowie’s notebooks, the box set provides a suitably chaotic time capsule of a magical period now bathed in extraordinary poignancy. [Summer 2024, p.82]

    In recent years boxed sets have basically evolved into source material for people’s own playlists, and that’s the best use for this fascinating and presumably definitive set. But for anyone who’s wondered about the origin story of Ziggy Stardust, it’s got everything you could want that’s actually worth hearing.

    Discs 2 and 3 are essential if familiar, given they document sessions taped for the BBC, from an unreleased January 1972 Peel session to the version of Starman taped for Top Of The Pops in July. .... By contrast, everything on Disc 5 is fresh to this box. [Jul 2024, p.96]
