David Bowie - Aladdin Sane (LP) (Near Mint (NM or M-))
David Bowie – Aladdin Sane
LP, Album, Gatefold | RCA Victor | Cat. No. LSP-4852 | Canada | 1973
One of Bowie's most celebrated albums — Aladdin Sane arrived in 1973 at the peak of the Ziggy Stardust era and pushed the glam rock template into stranger, more fractured territory. Recorded at Trident Studios; produced by David Bowie and Ken Scott; arranged by Bowie and Mick Ronson. Mike Garson's extraordinary avant-garde piano is the defining sonic signature of the album — most audible on the title track. The band is the Spiders from Mars at their tightest: Mick Ronson on guitar, Trevor Bolder on bass, Mick Woodmansey on drums. The Jean Genie, Drive-In Saturday, Panic In Detroit, Cracked Actor, Time, and Lady Grinning Soul are all here. Cover design by Brian Duffy and Celia Philo; make-up by Pierre Laroche (the lightning bolt). Canadian RCA pressing — orange labels; lacquer cut at RCA Studios, Toronto; pressed at RCA Smiths Falls, Ontario; printed by Ever Reddy. Gatefold with printed inner sleeve.
Condition
- Media: Near Mint (NM or M-) — strong glossy surfaces; plays exceptionally clean
- Sleeve: Very Good Plus (VG+) — gatefold in excellent shape
