David Bowie’s Labyrinth soundtrack getting vinyl reissue for first time in 30 years
Slap that baby, make him free, because the Labyrinth soundtrack is being repressed on vinyl. Following months of rumors, UMe has announced a 30th anniversary reissue of the classic soundtrack by David Bowie and Trevor Jones is set for a May 12th release.
Labyrinth is the 1986 Jim Henson classic that starred Bowie as the flamboyant and powerful Jareth, the Goblin King. In addition to acting in the film, the late musical legend wrote five original songs for the soundtrack, including the iconic “Magic Dance”. “With ‘Dance Magic’ – the song for Jareth and the baby, sung by them and the goblins in the castle throne room – I had problems,” Bowie explained in a 1986 interview with Movieline. “The baby I used in the recording studios couldn’t, or wouldn’t, put more than two gurgles together, so I ended up doing the baby-gurgle chorus myself! It’s an up-tempo song, and visually exciting.”
May 12th peeps.
