Two of the late, great David Bowie’s albums are going to be released as special limited edition versions. In celebration of the 45th Anniversary of the ‘Aladdin Sane‘ record, both ‘ALADDINSANE’ and ‘CHANGESTWOBOWIE’ will be released as a special silver vinyl version on April 20th.
This date will be exactly 45 years since the original album’s release date.
It was previously believed that Aladdin Sane was issued on April 13th, 1973, but evidence has now proven that the official release date was the 20th, which was Good Friday in the UK, so it was ‘made available’ on the 19th instead.
The strictly one time run vinyl editions will feature Ken Scott’s 2013 remaster.
However, you won’t be able to buy the album online, as it will only be available through the original way we used to buy music, in shops in the big bad world.
