Quick update from Amazons around the world: The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films is now officially back in stock and ready to ship at Amazon France. Apologies for the delay, but there was also a good bit of behind-the-scenes effort to make sure that well doesn't run dry again. So to those of you on that part of the globe I say, have at it!

Meanwhile, heading westward, Amazon UK now has The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films discounted by a generous 25%.

... OK, I know this commerce talk is less exciting than casting announcements, etc. But if you're getting an early start on holiday shipping, it's probably good to keep an eye on such things!
