We'll be celebrating this incredible fact throughout the week with a great eye-witness report written by a fan at that very first show in Aylesbury 40 years ago today.

We'll also be posting bits throughout 2012 celebrating the year of Ziggy's birth, taken from your recollections sent to www.davidbowie,com and Facebook, so start tapping out those memories now.

Stay tuned for some great period-relevant contests too with some prizes produced at the time.
