ALBUM AVAILABILITY
The regular 2001 album originally priced between $15 to $17 in the stores is the regular U.S. release. The 2001 limited release is indicated by a higher price and a sticker indicating its "limited" nature on the front plastic, along with an optional version that comes enclosed in a faux red leather case. The musical contents are the same on both 2001 products. The value of the different cover inserts (on the trading block) is yet to be determined. They could very well end up useless unless you acquire a whole set of 4+ covers.

The 2003 trilogy set is essentially the original three albums from the films combined into one package (with no extra music). The 2005 set includes the complete recordings, priced initially for between $50 and $60, and features the DVD with 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound along with three CDs that offer 180 minutes from the score in 16-bit stereo sound. Other higher resolution variants on sound quality exist on the DVD. (See review for details.)

The 2010 Howe Records album called "The Rarities Archive" was only available in the back cover of the Doug Adams book The Music of The Lord of the Rings Films: A Comprehensive Account of Howard Shore's Scores. That book had an MSRP of $60 but initially sold new for under $40.

The 2018 complete set is a re-issue of the 2005 product but with a Blu-ray disc rather than a DVD for the surround sound option. It debuted for $80 and remained in print longer than the two sequel set re-issues, retailing for less than $60 by 2020.
