Aladdin is a 1968 studio album by American psychedelic soul group Rotary Connection, released on Cadet Records




Reception


Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3 out of 5 stars, with critic Andy Kellman writing this album "ushered in a bigger and bolder Rotary Connection" with music that is "more streamlined and less scatterbrained without shedding the limitless approach that made its predecessor such an intrepid undertaking". Kellman also reviewed a single-CD compilation of Aladdin and Dinner Music, also rating it three stars, noting that this is the only way to get this music on CD, but critiquing that these are the band's two weakest albums. In a review for retailers, Billboard called this "another fine swinging album" and spotlighted several tracks as particularly strong and the magazine also recommended the "Paper Castle" single as being "loaded... with sales appeal".
