I love this album, but quickly forget how almost every song goes within an hour of listening. This has gone on for many years. Maybe it's the unity of production, maybe it's me. May be smart that Bowie put Zig to bed after this and lit out for the states and TW Duke-dom.

Sounds fab. Enjoy gorgeous analogue sound of this slab. Far better than RCA CD that fetches a lot of money. Without the obi, this can be had cheap.

I bought Aladdin in the early 80's, UK vinyl, and this remaster sounds as good as it ever did.

Owned an original and one of my favourite RCA Victor Bowie albums since late 70s. Usually very skeptical of re-mastered Bowie albums as my ears are so familiar with the original mastering. I must say this is excellent, giving some lovely new dynamics throughout. Nothing is lost in the mix and magically seems to be very easy to listen to without upsetting "my head". Hearing new things in such a classic favourite is strongly recommended along with Hunky Dory re-master which I am also loving.

This has got to be the sy dynaflex pressing I've ever heard. This thing is flimsy as ever but it plays beautifully.

This copy has black RCA Victor Dynaflex labels so assuming this is a 1980 reissue. Great sounding disc.

Mine sounds great. Even though "Watch That Man" is as muddy as ever, the piano and guitar soloing are really well-defined.
