Howard Shore's monumental score for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is one of the most decorated soundtracks in film history — winner of two Academy Awards (Best Original Score and Best Original Song for Annie Lennox's "Into the West"), a Golden Globe, and a GRAMMY. Certified Gold in both the U.S. and U.K., this 2xLP black vinyl pressing is an essential addition for any collector of cinematic or fantasy music.
For collectors, an encapsulated pressing offers something a shelf copy never can: a frozen-in-time record of the vinyl at its best — untouched, unplayed, and authenticated before degradation or handling could ever occur.
What Alliance Authentic Preservation Means: Every copy listed was moved directly from the pressing source into preservation: uncirculated, unhandled, and documented before it ever reached the open market. Each preserved copy includes an embedded NFC chip. Tap it with any smartphone to access your Certified Copy: verified authenticity, documented condition, and a full provenance chain from pressing source to you.
Limited to 3 individually numbered copies.
