The World of Keith Haring Triple LP album

Produced by Soul Jazz records in collaboration with Tate Liverpool, this 17 track triple LP album is three records of the music central to Keith Haring’s life and art. A combination of rare disco, early electro and New York punk/dance tracks reflect Haring’s vibrant world of downtown New York in the 1980s.

Music and the New York club scene were incredibly important to Haring. A regular at the Mudd Clubb, Paradise Garage and Club 57 as both clubber and exhibitor, break-dancers and DJs would also perform at his gallery openings, and the kinetic energy of the 1980s dance scene is evident in many of his works. When working overseas, Haring kept in touch with the New York music scene by listening to mixtapes, and these mixtapes provide some of the inspiration for this collection, capturing a flavour of Haring’s wide-ranging musical influences and connections.

This Triple LP is a download-standard vinyl version, which comes packaged in deluxe artwork with extensive sleevenotes, original photography and interviews. Every purchase supports Tate.
