Princess and the Frog Soundtrack Vinyl Record

Princess the the Frog vinyl LP soundtrackWhile I was surfing the net tonight I was listening to my iTunes library and on came the soundtrack to the recent Disney animated film Princess and the Frog. As the songs were playing, I happened upon a web site that had some gorgeous images of picture discs of various old Disney films. That got me to thinking. I wonder if Disney has released any of their recent film soundtracks as vinyl records? It is kind of popular for bands to do it these days - release a limited edition vinyl version of their album as a collectible for fans. A lot of record stores now even have a small section devoted to these new vinyl releases. But, alas, after doing a few minutes of Google searching, it would seem that Disney has not jumped on the retro vinyl band wagon. That's too bad, as I am sure they would find that they would have a decent market among Disney collectors. I know I would be buying them!
I put together a quick Photoshop version of the Princess and the Frog LP which may just get you as excited for new Disney vinyl as I am! C'mon Disney, you have never been known to miss a marketing opportunity.

"The Princess and the Frog?" No offense but this tude [as John Kricfalusi calls it on his blog Disney stuff is a bit cold to me.

I thought Princess and the Frog was pretty good. Not my favorite Disney movie, but I did think it looked pretty good animation wise and the the soundtrack has grown on me.
I just think it would be fun to be able to walk into a record store (or purchase online) an LP from the most recent Disney / Pixar film. How cool would an Incredibles gatefold LP be!

Someone please make this happen!!! Moana was a great movie with an OK soundtrack and it got a vinyl release. Princess and Frog was a great movie with an AWESOME soundtrack and we get nothing. Indeed, bring on a gatefold release! I'm sick of all these picture disc releases.

I totally agree about the picture disc releases. It was fun at first when there was no other vinyl, but I have always preferred regular vinyl releases to picture discs. I'm still hoping that the Princess and the Frog will receive a special edition gatefold edition vinyl release.
