On this day in music history: June 20, 1989 - Batman (Motion Picture Soundtrack), the eleventh album by Prince is released. Produced by Prince, it is recorded at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, MN from June, October, December 1988 and February - March 1989. In December of 1988, Prince receives a call from director Tim Burton from the set of Batman. The director tells him that he is using 1999 and Baby I’m A Star as temporary tracks in a rough cut of the film. Burton asks if he would consider contributing some new music
Prince's companion piece to Danny Elfman's rather staid score set the precedent for many of the Batman films to release both a score and soundtrack, the latter featuring music crafted by some of the hottest artists of the day. As can be expected given the man behind the music, the Batman Motion Picture Soundtrack pretty much sounds like a Prince album from the period.
