Artwork for both the Standard and Special Edition of Howard Shore’s soundtrack for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug has been out for a few days now. If you haven’t already caught it, have a look below!<\/p>\n

Doug Adams on his website\/blog has labelled the two “Burgundy” and “Dragon”, or if he’s just being descriptive. Not sure whether that means anything in particular. I do rather like the Cyan colour of the Special Edition, though.<\/p>\n

Amazon is currently slating the SE for a December 10 release, with the Standard Edition expected the same day. Thanks to all those who write in with the news! <\/p>\n

Special Edition “Burgundy”<\/h4>\n

\"Desolation<\/a><\/p>\n

Standard Edition “Dragon”<\/h4>\n

\"Desolation
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No track listings yet, but keep your eye out!<\/p>\n

Bootnote<\/b>: A quick update on the vinyl release story that we posted a week or so ago. A well-placed anonymous source tells us that Water Tower currently has no plans to release the DOS score on vinyl. Our source also adds that:<\/p>\n

1) While it would be cool, it would be very expensive given the number of hours of music.
\n2) Since vinyl has a lot of lead time, WT would have had to start production months ago, but the Desolation of Smaug score has only just been been finished.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t entirely explain why there was (and still is) an Amazon page… but unfortunately and disappointingly, it may simply be a rumour and nothing more. If we discover anything more, we’ll let readers know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
