{"product_id":"david-bowie-aladdin-sane","title":"David Bowie - Aladdin Sane","description":"\u003cp\u003eZiggy goes to America on Aladdin Sane, David Bowie's 1973 follow-up, presented here on 180 gram vinyl with all its glittering paranoia intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten largely on the road during his first major US tour, the album trades the space-age myth of Ziggy Stardust for a jittery, decadent portrait of American cities. Bowie co-produced with Ken Scott, and the Spiders from Mars, with Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Woody Woodmansey, play like a band running on adrenaline and very little sleep. The lightning-bolt cover is one of the most recognisable images in rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe secret weapon is pianist Mike Garson, whose wild, avant-garde solo on the title track \"Aladdin Sane\" sounds like a cocktail lounge tumbling down a staircase. \"The Jean Genie\" struts on a dirty, Yardbirds-style blues riff, while \"Drive-In Saturday\" imagines a future where people relearn romance from old films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Panic in Detroit\" thunders along on a Bo Diddley beat with Ronson's guitar slashing over the top, and the album closes on a lush, romantic piano ballad that shows just how far Bowie could stretch within a single record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEqual parts glam swagger and nervous breakdown, Aladdin Sane captures Bowie at the height of his first imperial phase, and it still feels thrillingly unstable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57165865058609,"sku":"825646289431","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/David_Bowie-Aladdin_Sane.jpg?v=1793186123","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/david-bowie-aladdin-sane","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
