Trivia

• The worldwide milking of Aladdin Sane continued with Cracked Actor, a bizarre selection for David's first single release in Russia. Designed to ride the wave of local publicity generated by his Trans-Siberian jaunt earlier in the year, it was released at a time when Western music was finally beginning to make some impression on the Soviet market.
