Lakeshore Records is set to release a special vinyl edition of The Dragon Prince: Best Of Seasons 1-3 — A Netflix Series Soundtrack on July 26, with original music for the acclaimed animated series by Emmy Award-winning composer Frederik Wiedmann (Star Trek: Picard S3). The album will be released in “iridescent Blue” vinyl with full color insert. The vinyl edition also includes music never-before-released including the 12 ½-minute-long “Dragon Prince Theme Suite.”
Co-created by Aaron Ehasz, who served as head writer for Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Justin Richmond, The Dragon Prince has won over fans and critics with its complex characters, dark themes, rich mythology and adorable animals. A young prince, his scholarly half-brother, and an elf assassin embark on a dangerous journey to return a stolen dragon egg to its mother and end a war between humans and the magical creatures of Xadia. The saga mixes in romance, goofy humor and some genuinely disturbing villains who make terrible sacrifices and destroy entire kingdoms in their quest for power.
