Description
Mike Garson’s jagged piano flurries in Aladdin Sane (1913–1938–197?) crack open space for Bowie’s most dangerous croon. Cut in the wake of the Ziggy tour with Ken Scott at Trident and US stopovers, David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane captures glam just as it starts to twitch. Panic in Detroit still stomps, Mick Ronson’s guitar scraping at that rolling conga pattern. Then Lady Grinning Soul shuts the door softly, Garson going full cabaret as Bowie leans into the smoulder.
This LP pressing does the record a favour. Low end sits deeper and the imaging is sharper, so those piano swerves and handclaps don’t smear the riffs. Vocals ride forward without losing the grit.
File it beside early Roxy Music, but note how much more knife-edge and cinematic this feels. If you’d rather order online, you can buy David Bowie records online with us. Iconic cover art looks crisp here too, which helps because the lightning-bolt Bowie is half the story.
From swagger to strange within a side, it’s a great way to hear the band’s elasticity without the brashness getting harsh. Still a go-to when someone wants Bowie that’s immediate but slightly unhinged.
Grab it online now or drop in to our Melbourne shop and take it home today.
