It’s been 31 years since cult classic Labyrinth was released but did you know there has only ever been one vinyl release of the soundtrack?

Labyrinth 30th anniversary: 15 things you may not know about the film

Well finally Capitol Studios got with the times (oh the irony) and have revealed that a vinyl reissue will be available to buy from May 12 – and it will include a replication of the soundtrack’s artwork.

Trevor Jones and David Bowie worked together on the soundtrack, with the late Bowie bringing five new original songs to the film – including As The World Falls Down and Magic Dance – while Jones’ seven orchestral pieces add to the film’s creepy ambience.

A sequel to the movie, which starred Jennifer Connelly as Sarah, a teenager who has to rescue her baby brother Toby from the clutches of Jareth the Goblin King (Bowie) by solving his titular Labyrinth – has been rumoured for years, but months after Bowie passed away after a battle with cancer, trade website Deadline confirmed the news and revealed that the director of acclaimed horror movie Don’t Breathe, Fede Alvarez, was on board to direct, as well as co-writing the script with British screenwriter Jay Basu.

‘Labyrinth is one of the seminal movies of my childhood that made me fall in love with filmmaking,’ Alvarez said.

QUIZ: How well do you know Labyrinth on its 30th anniversary?

‘I couldn’t be more thrilled to expand on Jim Henson’s mesmerising universe, and take a new generation of moviegoers back into the Labyrinth.’



The original movie was the last film to be directed by Muppets supremo Henson before his death in 1990.

Jareth will reportedly not feature in the follow-up, as the film will reportedly be a new story set within the same universe rather than a straight sequel.
