Lord of the Rings Deluxe Soundtrack-when?
Seems I heard about the time Two Towers was in theaters that there were plans to release a multi-CD soundtrack set with music from all three of the movies that would include the additional score material of the EEs as well as material not previously released on the other STs.
Any new info. on this?

I remember reading a Howard Shore interview posted on TORC done while he was composing music for the EE of RoTK and mentioned that all of the music done for the three films could be released sometime next year.

Complete LORD OF THE RINGS: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING coming in November
Release Date: (09/16/2005)
The complete Oscar and Grammy winning score to "The Fellowship of the Ring," from the epic film trilogy "The Lord of the Rings," will be available in a deluxe four-disc edition from Reprise/WMG Soundtracks on November 22nd, 2005.
This historic release contains over 180 minutes of music on three CDs, comprising the full score of the 2001 film, composed by Howard Shore. "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Complete Recordings" marks the first edition of the three complete recording releases of the film trilogy whose score has been honored with three Academy Awards, four Grammy Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards. This deluxe set also includes exclusive new artwork, packaging, and extensive liner notes culled from "The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films," to be published in 2006. Enya's song "May It Be," which received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song and which she performed at the Academy Awards ceremony, is contained on "The Complete Recordings" within all-new selection titles that reflect the complete score being released in its entirety for the first time.
Says "The Lord of the Rings" director, Peter Jackson, "No matter how many great performances or exciting visuals we put together for the movie, we found that it was all somewhat two dimensional until we added the emotional heart of Howard Shore's music. Then, and only then, did the film come to life."
Added Paul Broucek, Executive Vice President of Music at New Line Cinema, "Listening to the breathtaking music Howard Shore created is like seeing the movie time and time again. You just close your eyes, open your ears and the whole film unfolds before you. Howard's work is incredibly visual, evocative and narrative."
Composer of over sixty film scores, Howard Shore brought a lifetime of experience to creating the epochal soundtrack for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Shore used Tolkien's texts and drew from multiple periods throughout music history to evoke the book's enchanted worlds. He developed over 80 leitmotifs to describe the cultures of Middle-earth. Collaborating with authors/lyrists Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, he composed choral music including the Tolkien-created languages for the Elves (Quenya and Sindarin), the Dwarves (Khuzdûl), Men (Adûnaic) and the evil cultures of Mordor (Black Speech). The result was a movie music breakthrough that has been followed by such subsequent triumphs by Shore as The Aviator, Gangs of New York, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and "The Return of the King." "The Lord Of The Rings Symphony: Six Movements for Orchestra and Chorus," a two-hour work based on the twelve hours of score composed for the film trilogy, has been performed in over 70 concerts in cities all over the world.
Composed for symphony orchestra and three separate choirs, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Complete Recordings" highlights two original compositions by the multi-platinum Irish recording artist, Enya, including "Aníron (Theme for Aragorn and Arwen)" and "May It Be." Also featured in the score are solo performances by Elizabeth Fraser, Edward Ross, Mabel Faletolu as well as cast members Ian Holm, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan.
The fourth disc will present "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Complete Recordings" in 5.1 Surround Sound in DVD format. The set will also include exclusive new artwork, packaging, and extensive liner notes: "The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films -- Part I: The Fellowship of the Ring" by author Doug Adams.
"Appropriately enough for the film adaptation of one of fantasy literature's most enduring favorites," wrote the All Music Guide, "Howard Shore's score for Peter Jackson's 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' is traditional and majestic, using sweeping strings, brass and choral sections to create moments of fire-and-brimstone menace as well heroic triumph."

so disc 4 is what ultimatly would be an isolated score in 5.1 , now question, do we know if this will include new cues that were used for the extended dvd? Hopefully they will also include in the booklet approximatly what scene the song is from.

I caught Amazon about 2 months ago doing the same price switch on something probably a DVD set..

$50?! For just Fellowship? I don't think so. I was thinking of getting it, but damn someone still hasn't gotten the message about CDs, either that or they just know the fans will pay whatever regardless.
And what is with the DVD-Audio disc? There are what, 5 people that bought into that format? Why not a standard DVD with 5.1?
This should not be more than $30. Oh well. I guess I will be waiting for a price drop, or major sale.

However, considering that this is just the one film, I think I'll have to pass this time. Maybe later.

I really liked the original single disc version of this soundtrack (and I typically do not like soundtrack music). So I preordered this for $41.99 from CDUniverse. It's a really nice set. It does look a lot like a little book. The DVD-Audio disc is inset into the cover and the 3 x regular CDs are in a triple pack, similar to how some TV Show DVD cases work. There is also a fairly thick booklet that talks all about the score. The part of the box that has the CDs and book has a red satin ribbon to use to pull them out (so you don't have to dump them out or pull them out with your fingernails). So far I think the music is great (I'll keep the original soundtrack CD too as it is a nice "condesed" version) and the only thing I find distracting is the inclusion of some vocal samples from the film itself. They're short and I guess they help to identify the scene the music is from but I feel they are superfluous and a bit distracting.
