John Powell – How To Train Your Dragon 2 (Soundtrack / O.S.T. - RSD 2023)

Record Store Day 2023 Release.

Reissue - Red Multi-Color Splatter Vinyl in Gatefold Sleeve.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 is the most successful, (621M Box office), of the 1.65 Billion trilogy of animated films, which also had an eight year run as a popular television program. The soundtrack was composed by John Powell, who has created the archetype for modern animation scoring, having created the music behind Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, most of Ice Age, Rio, The Lorax and many others. This soundtrack has never had a standard vinyl release, much less this deluxe edition which will be presented across two LP's in a gatefold jacket and pressed on red mult-color splatter vinyl, in keeping with the theme of the green multi-color splatter on the How To Train Your Dragon 1 LP release, which was also produced exclusively for RSD in 2021. As with the first soundtrack, the theme song of the second film is done by Jonsi from the Icelandic band, Sigur Ros, and is unavailable anywhere else.
