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.
