Jobriath - Legacy

Legacy

In November 2004, long-time fan Morrissey oversaw Jobriath's first CD re-issue, a compilation called "Lonely Planet Boy". It was produced by Eddie Kramer.

Both Jobriath's original studio albums were officially reissued on CD in Japan in late 2007 being remastered and issued in mini-vinyl replica sleeves. They were released in the U.S. in standard jewel-box packaging in 2008 by Collectors' Choice Music.

The group 'Balcony' released a semi-tribute track entitled "Jobriath" as a free MP3 anonymously on the internet in 2000 that was later included on their second album Before Needs. Jobriath has also been referenced by the indie-folk band Okkervil River on the final song of their 2008 album The Stand Ins, entitled "Bruce Wayne Campbell Interviewed on the Roof of the Chelsea Hotel, 1979".

Def Leppard released a cover of “Heartbeat” on some versions of their 2006 album Yeah!.

"Morning Starship" was sampled by hip-hop artist Ill Bill on the title track to his 2007 mixtape album "Black Metal".

Filmmaker Kieran Turner (24 Nights) has created a feature documentary about the late singer called "Jobriath A.D."

Ann Magnuson is working on an EP featuring four Jobriath songs and a spoken-word narrative.
