Reprise Records released a multi-disc set for the film, titled The Complete Recordings. These contain the entire score for the extended versions of the film on
CD, along with an additional
DVD-Audio disc that offers 2.0 stereo and 5.1
surround mixes of the soundtrack. The album also featured extensive
liner notes by
music journalistDoug Adams which reviews all of the tracks and provides information about the process of composing and recording the score, as well as a detailed list of all musical instruments, people and organizations involved. The cover artwork uses the film series' logo and an inscription in Tolkien's
tengwar letters, over a background that depicts
