DAVID BOWIE’s 1973 LP ALLADIN SANE, his 6th,
celebrates its 50th birthday on 20 April 1973.

For this special occasion the masterwork (Top-10 Bowie album in Turn Up The Volume‘s Bowie book will be re-released with a vinyl picture disc and a half-speed mastered black vinyl edition on 14 April. Pre-order details here.

This new pressing of Aladdin Sane was cut on a customised late Neumann VMS80 lathe with “fully recapped electronics” from 192kHz restored masters of the original master tapes, with no additional processing on transfer. Both vinyl editions are cut from the same master, which means the picture disc is actually half-speed mastered too, although although the half-speed black vinyl is going to sound better than the picture disc.
