A number of people have emailed me recently regarding the availability (or lack thereof) of the ROTK: CR boxed set. Howard Shore's official website has a new post as or 11/28 that addresses the situation. More are coming soon! Click HERE for details.

On Monday, June 11, 2007 Howard Shore was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters Degree from York University in Toronto, Ontario for his "sweeping artistic vision." His commencement address has recently popped up on YouTube. For your viewing pleasure:

USA Today mentions the ROTK: CR set in this weekend's Holiday Gift Guide. Click the thumbnail for a larger version.

Aint It Cool News (beloved/despised bastion of pop culture) has recommended the LOTR Complete Recordings in their 2007 Holiday Shopping Guide. I wish they hadn't flubbed the "every single note ever recorded" bit, but I suppose next year will clarify.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King -- The Complete Recordings CD Boxed set is now available!

Please consider ordering the set from Peter Kelly's MovieMusic.com, the generous host of the ongoing Music of LOTR thread for many years.
