October Sell Sheet /
November Sell Sheet Comments: This set was
originally intended to have two discs. An
October sell sheet says:
In November, New
Line will release a special four-disc DVD edition of The
Fellowship Of The Ring featuring new scenes that extend the
film by up to 40 minutes. Shore composed new music for the
additional footage. The limited-edition The Lord Of The
Rings: The Two Towers album adds to the regular release a
second disc featuring the bonus music from this The
Fellowship Of The Ring DVD. The limited-edition version also
includes a special booklet and leatherette packaging. An Oct 30, 02
article at TORn references this information. But two days
later,
another article at TORn (referencing a new,
November sell sheet) describes the TTT-LE set merely as
having an extra bonus
track, "Farewell to Lórien" from The Fellowship of the Ring:
Special Edition DVD The Internet Limited
Edition was only available for purchase from the official
soundtrack sites. It looks like it was only about $3 (US) more
than the Limited Edition and I was a fool for not buying it.
But, what can I say, sometimes... $3 is $3. Some retailers do not
show the leatherette cover for this item. Some show the TTT-OST
cover, making it difficult for the consumer to know what they're
buying. But, since this is now OOP, it's probably a moot point.
