2008 Holiday Album This Christmas
To Be Issued On Vinyl For The First Time On November 16

Six-LP Atlantic Records 1960's Collection, Featuring Franklin's
First Five Albums From Atlantic Records, Available On December 7

LOS ANGELES - The world lost one of the most important, influential, and iconic voices of all time this summer when Aretha Franklin passed away. To celebrate this legendary artist's irreplaceable musical legacy, Rhino is readying a trio of releases honoring he Queen Of Soul.

Available today as a digital single is the "Solo Piano Version" of "Silent Night," a new mix of the holiday classic that was originally included on Franklin's 2008 holiday album This Christmas. This stunning new version features Franklin on piano, accompanied only by her unparalleled voice. "Silent Night" (Solo Piano Version) is available now on all digital download and streaming services.
 
"I was thrilled when Aretha called me to produce her long awaited Christmas record. It had been a dream of hers for decades," says album producer Tena Clark. "Her beautiful spirit is radiant throughout the record and this new mix of 'Silent Night' showcases what an incomparable force she truly was, both on vocals and piano. There has and never will be a voice like the Queen of Soul."
 
On November 16, the aforementioned Franklin holiday album This Christmas will also be released on vinyl for the first time for $21.98. The nine-track album, pared down from original length to fit on LP, features the Queen Of Soul's distinctive take on holiday standards such as "Angels We Have Heard On High" and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" along with some newer yuletide tunes like "This Christmas" and "My Grown-Up Christmas List."

December 7 will see the release of the Atlantic Records 1960's Collection, a six-LP boxed set that includes her first five studio albums with Atlantic, plus an LP with 11 demos and outtakes that are making their vinyl debut. Limited to 5,000 copies, the set features each album pressed on 140-gram vinyl and presented in sleeves that faithfully re-create the original releases. Atlantic Records 1960's Collection includes the five studio albums that Aretha released between 1967 and 1969: I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You (Mono), Aretha Arrives (Mono), Lady Soul (Stereo), Aretha Now (Stereo), and Soul '69 (Stereo).

THE LORD OF THE RINGS:
THE MOTION PICTURE TRILOGY SOUNDTRACK

Limited-Edition 6-LP Boxed Set Features The Soundtracks To
All Three Films In The Acclaimed Trilogy On 180-Gram Vinyl

Available From Rhino On November 30

LOS ANGELES - The Lord of the Rings trilogy remains one of most successful films in cinematic history. Based on the popular J.R.R. Tolkien novel of the same name, The Lord of the Rings was directed by Peter Jackson and features a score composed by Howard Shore. The trilogy earned a total of 17 Academy Awards®, including three for music. Beyond critical acclaim, the music from the films also enjoyed wide commercial success, collectively selling over 7 million albums.

Following the recent deluxe sets that featured The Complete Recording from each film, Rhino will introduce a limited-edition set that includes the original soundtracks to all three films. THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE MOTION PICTURE TRILOGY SOUNDTRACK will be released on November 30 as a 6-LP boxed set ($134.98). The 180-gram limited edition LPs will be housed in a collector's box that has a leather-style spine.

The music for all three films was composed, orchestrated and conducted by Howard Shore. His music was performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, with contributions from two choirs: London Voices and London Oratory School Schola.

The Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack was certified platinum in the U.S. alone, and sold extremely well around the world. It won the Academy Award® for Best Original Score, as well as the Grammy® for Best Score Soundtrack Album. It includes two original songs written and performed by Enya: "May It Be" and "Aníron (Theme for Aragorn and Arwen)."

The Two Towers soundtrack was certified gold in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada and won the Grammy Award® for Best Score Soundtrack Album.

The Return of the King soundtrack was certified gold in the U.S. and the U.K. and won two Academy Awards® for Best Original Score and for Best Original Song with "Into the West" performed by Annie Lennox; two Golden Globe Awards® for Best Original Score and Song; and two Grammy Awards® for Best Score Soundtrack Album and Song Written for a Motion Picture.

There's probably never been as ambitious a film score as Howard Shore's 10-hour epic for the "Lord of the Rings" series... the music is rich and complex, drawing on a vast range of styles and exotic instruments to evoke J.R.R. Tolkien's world... Shore uses an elaborate leitmotif technique (where musical themes are associated with specific characters or ideas, and are developed across the entire series) to hold the sprawling tale together. Lush, beautiful and full of intriguing surprises, it's no wonder that it's become one of the most popular film scores ever written. - Stephen Brookes for the Washington Post, May, 2008
