Howard Shore / The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers 5LP blue vinyl box

Howard Shore‘s ‘Complete Recordings’ of the The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers will be released on vinyl for the first time in July as a 5LP blue vinyl box set.

Like the previous Fellowship of The Ring package, this music to Peter Jackson’s 2002 film is housed in a collector’s box with a blue leather-style spine and it will be limited, to 8,000 individually numbered copies on blue vinyl.

There will also be a 3CD+blu-ray audio edition which contains the same complete recordings and the hi-res 5.1 surround sound mix on the blu-ray element.



As anyone who bought the first set will probably testify, this is one collection that it’s well worth picking up from the US. With (standard) shipping and Amazon.com’s ‘import fees’ deposit paid, the total in pounds comes to £114, or thereabout. The crucial thing here is that you are guaranteed to have no ‘surprise’ import VAT or associated fees – Amazon are effectively sorting that out for you. In the UK this new vinyl box is currently £144.

The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers – The Complete Recordings 5LP blue vinyl and 3CD+blu-ray sets will be released on 27 July 2018.
