That is all the items I have from the series. I know there are other items from the series out there, if other people can add anything else they have.

Here we have the Collectors CD boxed set of the trilogy, which I believe was released in 2003. The CD’s are in a metal case shaped as the One Ring, engraved with the ring inscription. The set also includes a bonus CD featuring “Microphones in Middle Earth” which is a behind the scenes documentary about the making of the series.

Thanks for posting these, fascinating article, and I recommend listening to "Microphones in Middle-earth".

This is an item that I would love to find.

One dedicated fan of the series, Ian Smith , compiled and privately printed a dossier on the series with reviews of all the episodes and interviews with the cast, writers and directors. It was called Microphones in Middle-earth and cost the princely sum of £2.90! Its value today, as a collector's item, is inestimable!

Thanks for showing all these, Andy. I’ve only upgraded from cassette to cd once, and this is mine. A 1995 release in a book type packaging. All the cd’s are in separate sleeves along with the map and booklet.
