On 7th August 2025, London Records will proudly celebrate the 30th anniversary of Goldie’s era-defining debut album, ‘Timeless’, with a remastered & repressed vinyl edition of the seminal record.

 

‘Timeless’ is widely considered one of the most important in electronic music history and was Goldie’s ground-breaking debut which brought the genres of jungle and drum & bass – as well as Goldie himself – to a level of worldwide cultural impact and mainstream significance like never before.

To commemorate this landmark anniversary, a series of very special limited-edition physical versions of ‘Timeless’ will be released: 2LP White Vinyl, 2LP Gold-on-Clear Vinyl and Transparent Blue Cassette. These will be available for pre-order on the 7th August and will be released on the 7th November. In addition, a unique collaboration with The Vinyl Factory sees Goldie return to the source, joining friend and fellow drum and bass pioneer Grooverider at the record pressing plant, to hand-press a run of 500 limited edition ‘Timeless’ records. These exclusive editions feature hand-stamped sleeves and custom colourways selected by Goldie himself. These will be available for purchase on the 7th August and 10% of proceeds will be donated to War Child, supporting children affected by conflict around the world – a cause close to Goldie’s heart. Watch a behind-the-scenes video documenting this process here.

Originally released in 1995, ‘Timeless’ was a revolutionary moment in the UK music landscape. Including the legendary track “Inner City Life” featuring the vocals of the late Diane Charlemagne, “Timeless” seamlessly merged jungle, ambient and orchestral elements into a sonic journey that changed the face of drum and bass.

Upon its release, ‘Timeless’ received widespread critical acclaim for its ambitious scope, genre-defying production, and emotional depth. The Guardian hailed it as one of the 50 key events in the history of dance music, while NME proclaimed it “astonishing…a symphony of whizzing breakbeats, fluid soundscapes and mind-warping moodswings”. Mixmag have since remarked that ‘Timeless’ “has gone down in history as the absolute pinnacle of drum ‘n’ bassLPs”. The album was also nominated for the Mercury Prize in 1995 and won Goldie a MOBO Award for Best Jungle Act in 1996.

‘Timeless’ continues to be cited as a foundational influence by producers across genres, with its legacy secure as a cultural and musical milestone that brought the underground sounds of jungle and drum & bass into mainstream consciousness. Its 30th anniversary edition will be available for pre-order 7th August via London Records.
