Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture - Rereleases

Rereleases

Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture has been released on CD twice to date, the first being on 7 August 1992 (1992-08-07) by Rykodisc and the second in April 2003 by EMI/Virgin being the album's 30th Anniversary 2CD Set, containing additional material, including introductions, spoken passages and the complete version of "The Width of a Circle"; "Changes" was also slotted into its correct position in the original concert's running order, following "Moonage Daydream".

In 2003, the soundtrack was re-released with a new Visconti mix, considered a significant improvement on the original. Almost the whole show was restored except for "The Jean Genie/Love Me Do" and "Round and Round" encore with Jeff Beck. The continued absence of Beck's sequence has been variously attributed to an issue over royalties or to the guitarist feeling, in Tony Visconti's words, that "he didn't fit in the film".
