	Is it already out of print? I can't find it anywhere except on the secondary market. -----signature----- Rise O voices of Rhodesia, God may we they bounty share, Give us strength to face all danger, And where challenge is, to dare.

	I would say that because one can order the FOTR and TTT CR releases on Amazon, that more ROTK ones will be printed. -----signature----- #1 on iTunes Most Played: R.E.M.

	Yes, Return of the King has mysteriously gone out of print. Doug Adams is trying to rectify the situation right now.

	I finally managed to win a bid for this set. I had given up hope of ever getting this release as the prices have been obscene. My complete recordings sets are now.....complete. Hope you all have luck in tracking this release down.

	If you haven't gotten this already, you could buy all 3 OT:SE soundtracks for about half as much money, and get better music in the deal. -----signature----- Bantam-Spectra To Release Glove Of Darth Vader, Jedi Academy Trilogy, and Darksaber in special limited-edition 'Dark Hand Of Mediocrity' box set

	You say that as if there's a single member of this board who doesn't already own those releases.

	Well, looks like it's time for you to say guh again. I don't, and probably never will. -----signature----- Bantam-Spectra To Release Glove Of Darth Vader, Jedi Academy Trilogy, and Darksaber in special limited-edition 'Dark Hand Of Mediocrity' box set

	It's one of my more endearing traits. I'm just not a very big fan of the way LOTR was/is marketed in general, actually. People complain about the OT:SEs, (obviously ) but the additions to those are mostly fairly minor effects tweaks, not giant chunks of plotline/characterization that should've been in the theatrical release as opposed to mindless action sequences. But nah, they'll just sell you those at a higher price after you've already unloaded money on theatrical-cut VHS/DVDs editions. And frankly, nothing particularly sticks in my head from any of the soundtracks. It's not even weird, like the BHD soundtrack-it's just general actiony-epic music to me. -----signature----- Bantam-Spectra To Release Glove Of Darth Vader, Jedi Academy Trilogy, and Darksaber in special limited-edition 'Dark Hand Of Mediocrity' box set

	One of the reasons I'm glad I have the original releases is that some of the mixing on the complete recordings is not always for the better IMO. For example, the ethnic flute (?) in "The Road Goes Ever On, Part One" is mixed down quite a bit in comparison to the original release, so I just edited that 30 seconds or so to put back the original mix. There are also other instances where the choir has been mixed up or down which I don't care for and have fixed if the piece was included on the OST.

	I fixed up the end credits on TTT and RotK to get rid of the tracked music. What a listening experience killer. I don't like the way FotR is done at all, but there doesn't seem to be any tracked music, so I'm stuck. For now, I just listen to the album version. Hopefully Doug Adams' new book and bonus CD will clear it all up. DarthBoba posted: It's one of my more endearing traits.

I was referring to the OT SEs when I said that everyone here has them, not LotR.

	Ahh, ok. Yeah, those are fine to buy as far as I'm concerned. Now, if we could just could've gotten OT:SE novelizations... -----signature----- Bantam-Spectra To Release Glove Of Darth Vader, Jedi Academy Trilogy, and Darksaber in special limited-edition 'Dark Hand Of Mediocrity' box set
