Virgin Radio Makes Aladdin Sane An Essential Album

Who will love Aladdin Sane…

If you’re a subscriber to Virgin Radio‘s newsletter in the UK, you may have received a communication recently with the following:

“Virgin Radio is launching it’s Essential Albums – A collection of classic releases from some of the finest artists, hand picked by us and available in all good record shops from 29 May. But as this is all about the music that we all love, we want to hear about your memories of the first six Essential Albums – some of you could even appear in one of our special documentaries.”

And they go on further to talk about Aladdin Sane specifically:

“Soon, this album by David Bowie’s going to be a Virgin Radio Essential Album. It’s going to be re-released on 29th May and you’ll find it in all good record shops with the Virgin Radio logo slapped all over it. How cool is that? Did you get ‘Aladdin Sane’ the first time round? What does it mean to you and has it soundtracked a particular part of your life? If you fancy appearing on a special Virgin Radio documentary about this Essential Album let us know all your thoughts and we might be in touch! What’s your favourite song off ‘Aladdin Sane’? Whichever song wins will become a Vintage Video in the next few weeks!

Well, I should point out straight away that Aladdin Sane isn’t actually being re-released on Monday, or even re-activated. But, new stock will have the stickers for Virgin’s campaign, which you can take part in here.
