Read David Bowie: Any Day Now: The London Years 1947-1974 by Kevin Cann Online

David Bowie first came to notice with the 1969 song "Space Oddity," after which he promptly vanished from the public eye, immersing himself in a long period of musical experimentation and reemerging in 1972 as the glam rock androgyne Ziggy Stardust. For hardcore Bowie fans, Any Day Now also includes the most concise listing of early Bowie performances ever published. Cann has also worked as consultant on Bowie and Mick Rock's Moonage Daydream (2002) and Geoff MacCormack's Station To Station (2007).. Proceeding year by year--and even day by day, as Bowie's career takes off and goes stellar--it tracks the rock legend's career from his birth in London in 1947 to the height of his success in 1974 with the release of his album Diamond Dogs and his departure from the UK. Under this persona Bowie launched the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, spearheaded by the hit single "Starman." The late 60s and early 70s were an incredibly formative and fertile period for Bowie. Author Kevin Cann, who has worked on reissues of Bowie's back catalogue, unravels many of the myths that have surrounded the early career of one of rock's most influential figures, in this encyclopedic illustrated book. Kevin Cann published his first book on Bowie (David Bowie: A Chronology) in 1983. In 1995 he

The most detailed account ever published of the early life of the man, the myth, the legend Early press releases, contracts and original sheet music decorate the margins of the book, making every page feel like a find. --Katie Rudick, Interview Magazine, March 2011

A must-have book for Ziggy era fans! If you're a fan of Bowie's, particularly the Mick Ronson / Ziggy era, you can't live without this. It's also very informative about the pre-fame days and I found myself hunting down rare demos and cover versions that are discussed in great detail in this thoroughly researched book. The eye candy (rare picture sleeves, alternate album covers, concert photos) is an added bonus. As with any great book on a musical icon, it had me digging out my old Bowie material to play and remember why I found him so compelling way back when.. "The London Years (in intimate detail)" according to Cecele. I LOVE THIS BOOK!! The first time I picked up it up I didn't put it down for almost an hour."Any Day Now" is a treasure trove for all of the most intimate details of David Bowie's early years. This encyclopedic page-turner includes juicy images, from a young David Robert Jones (yup his real name) in school-boy attire all the way up to the red-haired, eye-patch wearing, Diamond-Dogs era Bowie we all know and love. Concert flyers, handwritten letters and a day-by-day chronology made me feel like I was there to experience the Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust right alongside the l. Absolutely brilliant! Kevin Cann's new David Bowie book "Any Day Now" serves as the model for how all music books should be assembled. Intelligent, incisive text, immaculate design, stunning imagery and rare vintage ephemera all come together to create the definitive overview of Bowie's life. From his early musical beginnings with The Konrads, The King Bees, and The Lower Third through global superstardom, the book follows a day by day format, providing generous nuggets of heretofore information enhanced by a delightful tsunami of seldom and never before seen imagery. A gifted writer, Cann offers
