Classic David Bowie Album, Aladdin Sane Includes Bonus CD of Unreleased and Rare Tracks
Digitally Remastered and Beautifully RepackagedIn Stores June 24, 2003
(Hollywood, CA ? April 10, 2003) Virgin Records will release a 30th Anniversary edition of Aladdin Sane on June 24, 2003. The 2CD set includes the classic album, now digitally remastered, and a bonus disc of unreleased and rare tracks from the Aladdin Sane era. Beautifully packaged - in keeping with the style of the 30th anniversary edition of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust issued last year - the Aladdin Sane special edition will feature sleeve notes by David Buckley. Also included are unseen photos by Mick Rock, single sleeves, an Aladdin Sane chronology and other memorabilia.
Recorded during and after an American tour with his group, The Spiders From Mars, Aladdin Sane was released in May 1973 to an unsurpassed wave of public interest. It marked the last time that Bowie - who co-produced the album with Ken Scott - played with The Spiders on record.
Among the high points were the rockers ?Watch That Man? and ?Panic In Detroit?, and two classic Bowie singles, ?The Jean Genie? and ?Drive-In Saturday?.
With Aladdin Sane, Bowie showed that he was on a roll - one of the greatest rolls in rock history
