Released back in November 1972, ‘The Jean Genie’ served as the lead single to Bowie’s sixth studio album ‘Aladdin Sane’ (1973). The song reached Number Two in the UK Singles Chart.
A special 50th anniversary reissue of ‘Aladdin Sane’ is due to arrive in April. The record will be released as a half-speed mastered LP and a picture disc LP pressed from the same master.
To mark the announcement, a 4K remastered version of ‘The Jean Genie’ music video was shared last month.
