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.

I don’t always say “what the fuck dude” but when I do it’s usually because I’m driving behind someone with shit for brains.

Me: It’s Wednesday, one day closer to Friday.

Maggie: We’re closer to Friday than we’ve ever been! We’re also closer to death than we’ve ever been. 🤔

Maggie’s at the dining room table drawing. I’m making dinner in the kitchen. Alexa randomly plays Don’t Stop Believing by Journey. I look at Maggie and she’s smiling ear to ear.

While reading up on Weezer’s Undone song I learned that Rivers Cuomo thought it to be an almost a complete rip-off of Metallica’s Welcome Home (Sanitarium).

I don’t hear it myself but listening to that song now sure does take me back to another era. Late 80s, crimped hair, jean jackets, time standing still, brain saying rage.

One thing that really set Metallica apart to me from other metal bands is that many of the guitar solos and asides were more like additional vocal melodies than simply shredding frets. See Battery about 2:55 in.
