The Fireside

Quite recently, The Two Towers  Complete Recordings got released for the first time on vinyl, and (re)released on CD, as well as various download/streaming services. The Return of the King  is now up for pre-order in the complete recordings format (vinyl and CD), which will complete The Lord of the Rings  Complete Recordings campaign. But what about after that? Back when The Fellowship of the Ring  was announced for vinyl release, I did a similar post to this one. Perhaps there could be more Howard Shore Middle-earth music and soundtracks appearing on vinyl; announced closer to the release date for The Return of the King . Whatever they may (not) have planned, I'm going to have a look at what else could  come out on vinyl. THE LORD OF THE RINGS - A trilogy box. It may seem like a silly idea, but it would be neat if for the CD+blu-ray audio and vinyl lp releases of the Complete Recordings if there was an offer or something to get an empty box or slipcase...

The second Lord of the Rings  soundtrack is making its debut on LP vinyl, and getting reissued on CD. There will be a blu-ray disc replacing the DVD from the original set. As of now, Amazon.com is the only place to have pre-orders. The above image is from the initial CD set. With the vinyl release of The Fellowship of the Ring  replicating the design and style from the CD set, it's safe to assume that this will likely be the case for The Two Towers. Here is the pre-order link for the vinyl (which will be coloured blue, meaning that The Return of the King  will be green). There will be 5 LPs :  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D54LF9N/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1527109114&sr=1-1&refinements=p_32%3AHoward+Shore . And here's the link for CD + blu-ray Audio. There will be 3CDs, and one blu-ray disc. set:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D515631/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1527109114&sr=1-2&refinements=p_32%3AHoward+Shore . ...
