Mark and Stuart celebrate the 50th anniversary of David Bowie's album Aladdin Sane.  With guest, pianist and long-time Bowie collaborator Mike Garson.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today, they celebrate the 50th anniversary of David Bowie's album Aladdin Sane. They talk to pianist and long-time Bowie collaborator Mike Garson about his memories of playing on the album and working with Bowie over the years.

Released on 20th April 1973, Aladdin Sane was the follow-up to the album that had catapulted Bowie to stardom, 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.'  Aladdin Sane featured singles 'The Jean Genie' and 'Drive-In Saturday', and the album cover - featuring Bowie with a red and blue lightning bolt on his face - has become one of the most memorable images in rock and roll history.  Mark and Stuart play a selection of tracks from the album and discuss the significance and influence of this iconic album. 

With a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.  

There’s also the chance to take part in ‘Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
