Aladdin/Dinner Music - Rotary Connection

Advantages: great choice for the kids
Disadvantages: sounds like different voices to that in the film

...my sister bought this for me one christmas a few years back. i was a teenager but didnt care because it was only a joke present anyway and she knew aladdin is my all time favourite disney film! This soundtrack is a must buy for the kids who love the classics. i know most at the moment love modern films such as shrek and shark tale, but please for all older teenagers out there get young kids back into the classics of disney.

Advantages: Strong material
Disadvantages: Bit American at times

Aladdin Sane was originally released by RCA on April 13, 1973, with production by Bowie and Ken Scott. Bowie contributed vocals, guitar, harmonica and sax and most of the backing was courtesy of the Spiders, the band that had come together on the Ziggy album, Mick Ronson (guitar, piano, vocals), Trevor Bolder (bass) and Mick Woodmansey (drums), though you also got Ken Fordham on sax, Garson on piano and Juanita Honey Franklin, Linda Lewis and G A McCormack on backing vocals.
