everyone talking about a repress.. what is the point of making a collectors edition or limited edition, if they will repress it in 10 years.

I luckily have all 3 boxsets in mint condition, I don't how much I paid but truly this is getting too expensive. A repress is due for those who wants to enjoy it as well. They could do a simpler non-numbered re-issue.

Desperately in need of a repress. 25th anniversary of the film release next year - please someone make this happen.

Since I first read its three main books (including “The Silmarillion" and "The Hobbit") as a teenager, I have loved the LOTR world.
It’s mostly a rip off of Judeo- Christian concepts mixed with elements from several Nordic mythologies, but it’s so well and effectively crafted, resulting in a wonderfully solid lore.
Therefore when, at the end of the 90s, we learnt that there was a LOTR movie trilogy in the making, many held our breath hoping for a worthy film version.

Fast forward to December 2001, my friends and I got tickets for the premiere of "The Fellowship Of The Ring".

And we were blown away.

The movie showed a deep understanding and respect for the book and universe it was based on, wisely equilibrating action, thrill, darkness, light and poetry, all with a touch of authenticity that the abundance of artisanal special effects gave to the whole thing.

And there was the music.

Because the score that Howard Shore wrote for TFOTR is an undetachable part of the whole thing and, since its release, has been as identifiable with LOTR's spirit like many other legendary OSTs.

Thoughtfully conceived, wisely scored and heartfelt orchestrated there is beauty, darkness, fragility, courage, love, fear, friendship, despair, light, nobility and treachery all scattered along its themes.

I could highlight any of them, all truly magnificent and powerful pieces but, 21 years later since the first time I heard it, I still how impressed I was by the images and music that unfolds when the Fellowship goes through Moria, and Gandalf says “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement” while the sweet, beautiful theme of The Shire sounds in the background and few seconds after we’re confronted with the greatness of the Realm and Dwarf city of Dwarrowdelf.

Such a masterful transition is just one of the many great moments that populate the whole score and make the soundtrack of "TFOTR" one of the best movie scores of all time.

Good morning, For me, the pressing is good. Side B of disc 1 creaks a little but this does not interfere with listening. Anyway, very nice box. Besides, I ask for a request. Having already the three vinyl boxes, I am looking for the red stycker present on the box of the community of the ring. I didn't keep it at the time but I would like to find it again because I kept those of the two towers and the return of the king. If someone is willing to sell me one I would be very happy. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Raphael

Would anyone be willing to sell one for under $900? Thanks for your consideration <3
