Crystal Goodbody sends this in: Here’s the latest on this, just received from Amazon.ca. I presume that the *ROTK Complete Recordings* will be available later, but this email certainly has me wondering. I would love to hear from you or on TORn as to what the situation is regarding other orders that haven’t been filled. Surely if there is sufficient demand, they can run off more of them??
“Hello from Amazon.ca. We’re sorry to report we won’t be able to obtain the following item from your order: Original Soundtrack (Artist) “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King – The Complete Recordings [Import] [Soundtrack]” [Audio CD] Continue reading “More ‘ROTK: Complete Recordings’ Problems?”

Marilyn sends this in: After reporting my second defective copy of the Complete Return music (there is a “hole” in the Grond music in the stereo dvd that is not found in the cds or in the surround dvd track) I received this from amazon:
“I am sorry that your replacement order was also problematic for the item “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (The Complete Recordings) [Soundtrack] [Box set] [Collector’s Edition].
As it seems that the problem with this item is more widespread than we originally thought, we are unable to send another replacement. We will investigate and remedy the situation with the item; however, I cannot guarantee when the error may be fixed. Please return the item for full refund.”
Anyone else experiencing these issues? Drop us a line!
