If you're like me and adore Howard Shore's magnificent score for the film trilogy (regardless of how you judge Peter Jackson), you've been looking forward to the
Return of the King: The Complete Recordings musical release for a while now.
I was searching for news of this very thing just a few weeks ago, and checked again today to find that, oh happy day, the
Complete Recordings will release November 3, 2007!
The original soundtrack release was pretty good, but missed almost all of the crucial cues, such as the Ride of the Rohirrim, and the Battle of the Black Gate (IE, "For Frodo.") Happily, we have but another month and some change before the soundtrack releases.
