“Aladdin Sane”: More about the album

The album follows 1972’s The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars and was released in April 1973. The work was produced and written during Bowie’s post-Ziggy years while traveling in the United States.

The record was originally co-produced by Bowie and Ken Scott and recorded at Trident Studios in London and RCA Studios in New York. It would be the last to feature the line-up of Mick Ronson (guitar, piano, backing vocals), Trevor Bolder (bass) and Mick “Woody” Woodmansey (drums), and also feature avant-jazz pianist Mike Garson .

In 2022, Bowie’s fourth studio album, Hunky Dory, was released as a deluxe reissue containing unreleased demos, live recordings and other rarities from the period.
