@davidbowieglamfanaccount: David Bowie came to the Netherlands in February 1974 to receive an Edison for his 'Hunky Dory' album and to record his latest single 'Rebel Rebel' in the TopPop studio in Hilversum. At a special press conference in the chic Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam, Bowie appeared in Ziggy Stardust outfit, complete with black eye patch. This is historic as it was his last public appearance in a ‘Ziggy Stardust/Aladdin Sane’ outfit. He spoke eloquently to the assembled press and posed for the photographers. He received the Edison Award (Hollands equivalent of a Grammy) from TopPop presenter Ad Visser, who made a mistakenly called the award for his Ziggy Stardust album. Ad Visser filled the glasses with the traditional schnapps and addressed Bowie partly in Dutch. After the press reception, David stepped in a limousine and headed for Hilversum where he recorded his latest single ‘Rebel Rebel' in the TopPop studio. Bowie selected this recording for his compilation DVD 'Changes'. This rare footage of the press conference has been used in many tv documentaries. #BowieForever #DavidBowie #DavidBowieGlamourFanzine #DavidBowieArchive #Starman #ziggystardust #aladdinsane #DiamondDogs
