My Precious: Rhino Reissues 'Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers' Box Set on CD, Blu-ray, Vinyl

July 25, 2018 By Joe Marchese Leave a Comment

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Rhino is taking another journey to Middle-earth this Friday, July 27, with the reissue of the second soundtrack from director Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy.  The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - The Complete Recordings, composed and conducted by Academy Award winner Howard Shore, follows the reissue earlier this year of the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack.  Like that set it will be available in two deluxe physical formats: a 5-LP vinyl box set and a 3-CD/1-Blu-ray Audio box.

The 5-LP edition marks the Grammy-winning, gold-certified soundtrack's premiere on vinyl.  The box set is limited to 8,000 individually numbered copies on blue vinyl.  The 3-CD/1-BD iteration boasts the complete soundtrack on CD as well as in high-resolution 5.1 and 2.0 stereo on the Blu-ray disc.  (The Blu-ray replaces the DVD of the original set.)  Both versions present copious liner notes from historian Doug Adams.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers features the combined efforts of The London Philharmonic Orchestra and two choirs: The London Voices and The London Oratory School Schola boys' choir.  Shore's dramatic and distinctive score evokes the grand and sweeping nature of the films themselves.  This reissue is the second in Rhino's series of three releases that will conclude at a later date with the vinyl premiere and CD/BD reissue of 2003's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

Look for The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on July 27.  Pre-order links are available below!
