Vinyl reissue of David Bowie and Trevor Jones's Labyrinth soundtrack
David Bowie and Trevor Jones's soundtrack to Jim Henson's fantastical film Labyrinth, starring Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King, will be reissued on vinyl next month for the first time since its release in 1986. (These days an original pressing goes for around $75-$100.) To complement Trevor Jones's synthesizer/orchestra score, Bowie wrote five original songs for Labyrinth, including Underground, As The World Falls Down, and the classic Magic Dance.
With Magic Dance, "the song for Jareth and the baby, sung by them and the goblins in the castle throne room - I had problems, Bowie said at the time. The baby I used in the recording studios couldnt, or wouldnt, put more than two gurgles together, so I ended up doing the baby-gurgle chorus myself! Its an up-tempo song, and visually exciting.
