The Jean Genie
40th Anniversary 7" Picture Disc
EMI mark the 40th anniversary of ‘The Jean Genie’ with the third in a series of collectable 7” picture discs that celebrate the anniversary of the original release of David Bowie's UK singles.
Originally issued in the UK via RCA on November 14, 1972, ‘The Jean Genie’ was the first single taken from his then still-to-be released album Aladdin Sane. Bowie was now a superstar, writing on the run while touring.
The b-side of this 40th anniversary version will have the audio from the recently-recovered BBC Top Of The Pops performance of ‘The Jean Genie’ from January 1973, which captures the blazing confidence of Bowie and the fabled Spiders from Mars [Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and Woody Woodmansey] at their peak.
With both versions remastered by original Trident engineer Ray Staff and superb, in-era shots to illustrate both sides of the vinyl, ‘The Jean Genie’ is available in a strictly limited run.
STILL SEALED, UNPLAYED, MINT CONDITION.
