''Aladdin Sane'' is the sixth studio album by Music/DavidBowie, released in 1973. A loosely-constructed semi-sequel to ''Music/TheRiseAndFallOfZiggyStardustAndTheSpidersFromMars'', it's been described as "Ziggy goes to America" by Bowie. The Spiders from Mars would be disbanded at the end of the subsequent tour that July, via an infamous impromptu announcement from Bowie that "not only is it the last show of the tour, but it's the last show we'll ever do," the vague wording of which led fans and press to believe for a short while that he himself was quitting the music industry altogether. In reality, he'd keep going all the way until his death in 2016, barring a hiatus from 2006 to 2011.

* VanillaEdition: The Creator/{{Rykodisc}} reissue of the album conspicuously lacks any bonus tracks, which according to former staff member Jeff Rougvie was the result of the label already including all the potential candidates on the ''Sound + Vision'' BoxedSet in 1989. Together with the soundtrack album for ''Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture'', it's only one of two Bowie reissues by Rykodisc to not have any additional content.

A Date With Rosie Palms is no longer a trope


* ADateWithRosiePalms: Time itself "falls [[UsefulNotes/BritishEnglish wanking]] to the floor" in "Time".

Does an Album Title Drop really count if it's a Title Drop in a Title Track?



* AlbumTitleDrop:
--> ''Oooo, we love Aladdin Sane''.


Added DiffLines:

* TitleTrack: The second song on the album, "Aladdin Sane (1913-1938-197?)", to the point where many reissues omit the parenthetical subtitle to make the song name 1:1 with the album title.
* VanillaEdition: The Creator/{{Rykodisc}} reissue of the album conspicuously lacks any bonus tracks, which according to former staff member Jeff Rougvie was the result of the label already including all the potential candidates on the ''Sound + Vision'' BoxedSet in 1989.
