I know what you're thinking, another Bowie thing?! Yep, it's obvious that I'll never have enough!
This time, it's the limited edition green Labyrinth Original Soundtrack.
The story of this one isn't as glamorous as the Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust one. In all honestly, I only found out that this vinyl existed after stumbling across a Facebook post advertising it (it would appear that Facebook now wants to help my Bowie hoarding habit).
I clicked on the link on the Facebook post and saw that there were two colours of the vinyl being sold: the green one and a purple one. Unfortunately the purple one had already sold out, but I was more than happy to manage to bag the green one before that undoubtedly sold out.
The wait for today felt like forever even though it was only just over a month!
I bought the vinyl from a company called uDiscover Music, and I'm so impressed. I had an email from them yesterday evening telling me that it had been dispatched, but I honestly wasn't expecting to receive it on the release date. They've got a tonne of amazing merchandise on their site, as well as also publishing music news and features.
The beautiful cover design is one of the promo designs for the film and features all of the characters, although I can't find William The Worm (you know the one - 'nah, I'm just a worm'). I'm certain he must be on there, I'll probably spend the evening with a magnifying glass trying to find him!
It's got every song from the film, including the ones that are more background music. The obvious highlight is 'Magic Dance', and that sounds divine on vinyl. It's also lovely to hear the full studio versions of 'When The World Falls Down', 'Underground', and 'Within You' with all the extra parts that don't feature in the film.
This has added an extra bit of magic to my vinyl and Bowie collections, and I feel the need to have a day dedicated to Labyrinth.
