Jay 37,479 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 They are out of print so there is no way to buy them cheap anywhere. Scalpers are in control now. The only way to legally listen to these releases if you don't have them is give someone huge amounts of money to get your own physical copy. That's just the way it is. Depending on your own morals, you can choose to just download rips of them to listen now and vow to pay for them when they are re-issued. I believe they retailed for $70 each when they first came out, but someone might remember better than I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,661 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Doug has mentioned that he had reviewed the booklet for a reprint, but that it was held up by legal issues. Since there was a fairly recent legal resolution with the Tolkien family, I'm hopeful that the gears are greased and we'll see this sooner rather than later. I believe the original releases were $55-65 (ROTK had an extra disc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo 3,709 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 If any complete score is worth 120 then it’s Fellowship but I think the only way id pay that sort of money is if it was the only one I was missing A. A. Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 "Depending on your morals" gets you out of recommending it out right, that's true.

Jay 37,479 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 For the OSTs its worth tracking down the Limited Edition versions over the regular jewel case versions, especially for TTT and ROTK since TTT has an extra cue and ROTK has a bonus DVD. However, two TTT cues were actually shortened to make room for the bonus cue, so you might want the normal version of that to be complete. And if you have that one, you might as well get all three I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 4,011 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Anyhow, it's worthwhile to have the Original Soundtrack around, as well as the Complete Recordings. Lots of alternates, a different mix for choir and special instruments (which I prefer) and also just as an abbreviated and "concertized" (and very well constructed, at that) experience of the soundtrack, when you don't have the time or desire to sit through the whole thing.

Nick1Ø66 4,838 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I pre-ordered all of these from Amazon when they were originally released, and checking my order history, for Fellowship, Towers and Return I paid (USD) 47.96, 60.99 and 59.99 respectively. I still have them all in excellent condition, and will accept all unreasonable (i.e. confiscatory) offers. Let the bidding mania commence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you have that one, you might as well get all three I say Then there was the "Internet Edition" of the Limited Edition (for TTT and ROTK). Same music, but came with crappy enhanced CD content, trading cards and most interestingly a different colour scheme for the covers. Those are also quite rare, but somewhat cheaper than the EE's on the second hand market. Interestingly, the website for these editions is still active, complete with (non-working) order links.

Chen G. 4,011 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Yea, that's obvious. What I meant is that, because there is so much singing in the underscore, a lot of tracks are songs, in a way. 15 minutes ago, Stefancos said: I See Fire is the best of the Hobbit end credit songs though. It's alright. I really like The Last Goodybe. As with Billy's "Edge of Night", it fits well into Shore's celtic vibe for the Hobbits, and Victoria Kelly's orchestrations really ground it in the sound-world of the Shire.

Chen G. 4,011 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 "Except for the other two" You don't think it is better than "Song of the Lonely Mountain"? I mean, yeah, "Song of the Lonely Mountain" at least uses a melody from the score (which, to me, is its saving grace) but I still feel "I See Fire" is less "anachronistic", as it were.
