THE STORY

A remastered 30th Anniversary edition of Bowie’s 1973 classic, pairing the original album with a second disc of single mixes, live recordings, and previously unreleased material from the 1972 tour.


CONTEXT & NOTES This 30th Anniversary edition presents Aladdin Sane as both a definitive studio statement and a live-era document.


Disc 1 preserves the original 1973 running order, recorded at Trident Studios in London and RCA Studios in New York and Nashville. Disc 2 reframes the material through single mixes, studio versions, and live performances from the 1972 US tour, including two previously unreleased tracks.


Aladdin Sane marked a pivotal moment in Bowie’s early-Seventies evolution. The 2003 reissue expands the album’s reach with rare mixes and live recordings, offering fans a deeper archival dive into the Ziggy-era sound and stage energy
