Info for John Williams: Jaws 2 (2026 Mix - Remastered)

A new soundtrack album for the 1978 thriller sequel Jaws 2 directed by Jeannot Szwarc and starring Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary and Murray Hamilton. The album features the film’s newly remastered original score composed and conducted by Academy Award winner John Williams (Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, HarryPotter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Schindler’s List, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Catch Me If You Can, Home Alone).

The double album set, which includes the complete score and bonus tracks (including some newly discovered alternates) and the remastered 1978 soundtrack album.

Released in cooperation with Universal Studios and Universal Music Enterprises (UMe), this release presents a ground-up restoration, remix and remastering from the first-generation multi-track scoring elements. Arriving a year after Williams’ Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind fully unfettered the symphonic film score, Jaws 2 builds on the iconic shark motif from the classic original and expands into a dynamic exploration of the joys and terrors of the sea in iconic Williams style.

Intrada derived its previous release (2015) from 3-track masters provided by Universal Studios, but this time, as a result of a deep dive (we couldn’t resist) ahead of last year’s 50th anniversary of the original Jaws, we discovered that the 16-track scoring masters for the sequel were housed in the vaults at UMe. The record company provided new high-resolution transfers at 192k/24-bit, which were then meticulously restored, remixed and remastered by Mike Matessino and approved by the composer.
