Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I still have no idea what the hell is going on with the digital/streaming releases of the LOTR soundtracks. On Google Play, the OSTs are actually listed as "Lord of the Rings", "Lord of the Rings 2", and "Lord of the Rings 3." And yeah, ROTK is the only CR on there.

Jay 37,378 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yup ROTK is the only CR on Spotify too I think FOTR has something to do with Enya rights, not sure about TTT though. The DOS OST has never been on Spotify either, which is really annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodBoal 7,538 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 It is on my Spotify. There's also the odd thing regarding the ROTK OST, for which the The Return of The King track isn't available on Spotify for some reason (what could be the reason for that? Viggo Mortensen didn't give his approval?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,378 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 That's another weird quirk that happens on Spotify sometimes. With War Horse for example, track #1 (Dartmoor, 1912) isn't available to play, either in the War Horse album OR on the John Williams 80th Birthday celebration CD! Why? Who the hell knows!

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Maybe it's because it creates a glitch. You are now listening to... The Return Of The King from The Return Of The King...

Nick1Ø66 4,722 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I don't get emotionally attached to memorabilia as a general rule. They aren't valuable enough for me to sell them yet, but that's not to say they wouldn't hit a price where I would. Don't get me wrong, It's a beautiful set, and quite possibly the finest presentation (both in terms of physical presentation and music) of a score ever. But I don't have an emotional attachment to them, and haven't pulled them off the shelf since I ripped the discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yeah, if you're intent on scalping them (and you know that another release is planned once red tape is broken), you'd better sell before it's too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah. I've got my iTunes sorted by year within artist, so I don't have to worry about that. Also, you know you can define a 'Sort Album' title that's separate from the main 'Album' title, right?

MrScratch 294 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'm late to the game on this discussion but Gollum's Song is my favorite LOTR song by far. It has the seductive feel of a Bond song but of course much more dark and tragic. Disco Stu and Faleel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be some sort of glitch. Spotify is a buggy piece of crap that can't manage different versions of tracks to save its life. I think Doug indicated that it might be apathy on the label's part - digital downloads weren't a 'thing' when Fotr/TTT came out, and someone's actually got to go back and digitize them for sale, and I suppose there are rights issues for all the soloists and Enya. Maybe they just thought the returns wouldn't justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bofur01 245 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I’m pretty sure the example tracks you’ve given are “Album-only” on iTunes, and unable to stream for Apple Music members, too. Unless they’ve bought the album, that is. it’s probably some kind of weird digital licensing thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same on YouTube music. The opening Dartmoor music is on the Spielberg Williams album as part of the War Horse track, but I like the OST Dartmoor album opener and they don't have it. Really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
