"The Fellowship of the Ring" Soundtrack Debuts on Vinyl LP & More...


Now this is unexpected and all-together welcomed!!

The Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack will be debuting on vinyl LP for the first time ever, rightfully so, in it's Complete Recordings!

The set will be released on March 30.

It can presently be pre-ordered via Amazon right here: https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Fellowship-Complete-Recordings/dp/B079PDFGZK/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1518573762&sr=1-2&keywords=lord+of+the+rings .

As you can see in both the picture and the the description, it'll be 5 discs (can they be called 'discs?').

I'm greatly excited for this myself, however, I'm a tad puzzled as to why The Two Towers or The Return of the King aren't out as well - either in a trilogy set, or on their own if cost, packaging etc would be an issue for that much vinyl and what not. Or, possibly, The Hobbit as well.

But it's all good! The Lord of the Rings film music is finally coming to vinyl! I got the Complete Recordings on CD when they initially came out, so for the time being, I'm good! I'll have my eye fixed on the vinyl sets once The Return of the King debuts on vinyl and I can get the entire trilogy. That's just me though. I am definitely beyond delighted that these amazing soundtracks are coming to vinyl LP in their true form. Since I get my favourite music of all time on vinyl, I'll be asking for this set for both my Birthday AND for Christmas. Should I not recieve it for either of those occasions, I'll wait until The Return of the King is out, and hope stock is still good for The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers at that point.

I also feel that multiple editions packages could have also been possible, as well. For instance, there could have been super-set that featured the vinyl LPs AND the CDs with a blu-ray audio disc (and maybe an audio DVD?) all in one set, for those interested. 

But wait....there's more....

The CD set of The Fellowship of the Ring (in its complete recordings format) will also be RE-ISSUED on CD with a blu-ray audio disc (which sounds weird to me, but there you have it) that same day! You can pre-order that set here: https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Fellowship-Complete-Recordings/dp/B079PTDW74/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518619892&sr=8-1&keywords=B079PTDW74 . One would also think that The Fellowship of the Ring (Complete Recordings) would also be available on iTunes and / or Google Play, as well. I mention that because I feel, if you want physical music, go for vinyl. If you want digital music, go for iTunes / Google Play (plus, you won't have to worry about stock running low *IF* this release also goes to iTunes / Google Play, that is)

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
