In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Spider-Man 2, Sony Classical proudly presents Danny Elfman's iconic original score on vinyl for the first time ever. Conducted by Pete Anthony and performed by the 100+ piece Hollywood Studio Symphony orchestra, this special release features Elfman's masterful compositions for the second installment of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, and Alfred Molina. - As Peter Parker navigates his dual life as a college student and superhuman crime fighter, Elfman's score delves deep into character emotions, revisiting and expanding on his classic Spider-Man themes while introducing a bold and ominous new motif for Peter's latest nemesis, Doc Ock. The album also includes two bonus tracks composed and recorded by Elfman but not included in the final film: the action-packed, brass and percussion-led "Train / Appreciation" and the tender, heartfelt "Aunt May Packs," offering fans a glimpse into Elfman's original vision. The album closes in true superhero fashion with a revisited villain motif on "Green Goblin Returns" and the emotionally charged "At Long Last, Love," which blends cinematic romance with Elfman's climactic "Farewell" theme from the first film. - The 20th Anniversary release features a soft-touch jacket with UV spot-gloss webbing on the front cover, along with a 12x12 credit insert showcasing photos from the film, offering a nostalgic addition to any Marvel fan's collection.
