For those of you who are fans of the film, or at least like the music...
I had heard months ago that there was going to be a 'deluxe' extended
version of the complete trilogy soundtrack (including music from the
EEs, apparently)... perhaps as a boxed set?
Has anyone heard anything else about this? Is it already out and I've
missed it? Upcoming...?
Anyway, any info would be appreciated...

I don't know, but I certainly hope it's true. IMHO, the music is definitely
one of the pluses to the films. I'd also like to know if there are plans to
issue a recording of the LotR symphony Howard Shore has conducted.

original story was posted at Empire ; article may not have any info you
don't already know but just in case....:
LOTR Soundtracks to get 'Extended' Editions Box Set
Empire Online ^ | 30 April 2004

As any fule no, the fantabulous four-disc extended edition of The Lord
of the Rings: Return of the King will debut later this year. But for
those of you doing decent Gollum impressions - "we wanttsss it!" -
Empire can exclusively reveal that one more superb LOTR extra is on its
way, ready to sate those Rings withdrawal symptoms.
Howard Shore's Oscar-winning scores for the three movies, easily
ranking amongst the very best soundtracks of recent times, has up until
now only been granted a single CD release for each film. Now, Empire is
no Carol Vorderman, but we calculate that that means that more than six
hours of the score [more than eight if you factor in the Extended
Editions] remains unreleased.
Well, that's going to change next year, when Shore plans to release a
suitably epic nine-disc set of his most famous work. And, just as the
two-disc DVDs pale in comparison to the Extended Editions, so too will
the CDs.
"The plan is that we would feature all of the music in the theatrical
cuts of the films," said Shore, talking exclusively to Empire.
"Currently, two discs for [the first], three each for [the second and
third films] and a ninth disc of rarities with host of rare, unreleased
music from the films with commentary from me."
The DVD would also feature material covering Shore's recent transfer
of the trilogy's music to a live concert setting, The Lord Of The
Rings Symphony. "The DVD would also potentially have a 45-minute
documentary which we shot on the making of the Symphony and full
performance of it done with the Montreal Symphony," he added.
First performed in Wellington in November last year, Shore is currently
on an international tour with the show, reaching London for a
performance with The London Philharmonic Orchestra at The Royal
Festival Hall on 23 May and then returning to The Royal Albert Hall on
22 September.
"It's very gratifying to see the see the music from [the films]
find a new life on the concert stage." said Shore. "I don't think
there's ever been a full concert piece of this size devoted to one
particular film or series."
For those fans who miss out on the London shows, don't fret: Shore also
confirmed to Empire that a two-disc CD release of the show is also in
the works for release next year.
