[Album] The Return of the King - Complete Recordings, November 6

Heeeere it comes!

Quote:

Howard Shore’s complete Oscar-winning score for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, from the epic film trilogy The Lord of the Rings, will be available in a deluxe five-disc edition from Reprise/WMG Soundtracks on November 6, 2007.

This historic release contains 3 hours and 50 minutes of music on four CDs, comprising the full score of the 2003 film.

The 5th disc being the DVD audio, of course. Man I can't wait for this. I expect the price to be much higher than the previous releases, but whatever man, this is my personal favorite of the three.

I'm in a graduate filmscoring program and one of my colleagues is good friends with Doug Adams, the guy who writes the accompanying booklets that dissect the music more extensively than any liner notes I've ever seen. Pretty NEAT!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

From what I gathered, it's a CD that'll be released along with Adams' The Music of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy book.

Regarding the color change, I actually really like it. Despite the color associations they established with the DVD releases, for some reason these switched colors seem appropriate for the scores. Can't explain it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
