As an old long-time fan, my feeling is that any remaining unreleased scores from LIS are probably of the goofy variety and as such, wouldn't interest me. More VTTBOTS, please.

There are some great, sinister and upbeat (without being goofy) scores from the second and third season. The Mullendore stuff is very nice.
But I'd still take a Voyage release any day of the week and five times on Sunday.

LLL's LiS release was limited to a whopping 5000 copies IIRC...that may be the main reason they had so many left over.
YRC, but I was told that they didn't print nearly that many and they still had a lot left over.
I do wonder if there's much of an audience left for this. The show does not exactly remain beloved, most of the music has been out in two different sets (the second of which sold poorly)… I don't want to dash anybody's dreams, but I will say if I ran a label, I wouldn't consider it a wise investment. (And who would do such a set? I very much doubt La La Land would go there again.)
Just for the record we did press up all 5000 units and yes, at the end the last 250 or so went for $5 a pop because the license was up. They were all paid for so no need to just toss them in the trash

I bought a second set for that $5 and have it just in case of a Lost in Space CD calamity. Like if a Cyclops destroys the other one or something.

Then I was completely wrong! I can either be a man and accept it, or go back to my earlier post and edit it to make it look like I was right all along.
You should totally edit it. That's the manly thing to do

I don't find anything that's been released for Lost In Space to be satisfactory.
I have the bits-and-pieces Irwin Allen set and the 2CD set, but I consider them not much more than "samplers".
I think a comprehensive set with consistently good sound quality would be a very good seller. I'd be one of the first to buy it.
Me too.

You'll have to be a member of the group to read the messages. Scroll down to "LIS coming on Blu-ray" dated towards the end of January. One of the guys quoted Kevin Burns.
I can't be bothered to join the group just for that - but there's a wonderful invention called "copy and paste." Maybe you could do that with the posts for those of us who aren't members?
Just for you

Yes a new CD set is coming, according to KB. They found all of the old cues, and are releasing everything.

I wouldn?t care if the Cds came out first, just hope it has all those missing cues. That library music on those previous releases were horrible.

Well, wouldn?t it be nice to have the music and sound effects on separate channels!
I wasn?t there, but I believe that there was mention of a LIS 6 or 8 CD set of the music.

Hmm,
Not sure if they had the individual elements for Trek or if they just faked the 5.1. We'll have to get closer to the release to see what LIS does. He did say they had the music in stereo and I know they always kept the vocal and sound effects separate for foreign language dubbing. I wished I thought to ask that question.

The missing cues!, that would be awesome!! The original star trek dvds (and now blu rays) were mixed with a 5.1 sound, and I think originally it was mixed in mono as well.

Interesting question.
The show was mixed in mono. It would be impossible to make it 5.1 without all the original separate elements. KB said the music was recorded in stereo and I'm hoping there may be a stereo mix but it may just be that the credit music would be in stereo.
AND about the sound while they were digging trough the vault they found all of the recorded music track and will be releasing them on a CD set similar to the Trek set.

How was the sound quality? Did they encoded in 5.1?

Thank you for that awesome write-up!
One thing to note though, In order to make the 16:9 versions, they not only need to open the sides up into the safe area, but they have also had to crop off at the top and bottom. You're actually losing more at the top and bottom than you are gaining on the sides.
Please see the attached example I have put together from the demo.

Hi Guys,
Last Sunday I sat through Kevin Burns presentation on LIS on BR. And it's a ton of great news. All of the episodes have been re-mastered from the original film elements and sound recordings. Lost in Space will never look or sound better. Billy Mumy is working to coordinate the "extras" including new interviews and commentaries on the pilot episodes. Yes they have both pilots on the disks and have even found some missing clips and sounds. No release dates yet other than 2015, and I take it from some of the comments they are still adding content to the disk set. The current plan is to release all 3 seasons in one set and maybe in a B9 case.
Now, if you have been following the aspect ratio question they have a unique solution. As you know LIS was shown in the old "square" aspect ration of 1960's TV. However when it was shot the film recorded a wide screen image. When filming for TV they would draw lines on the side of the viewfinder to indicate the "safe area" this was to leave room for the optical soundtrack that would be added later and because TV sets of the day would not show the outer edges of the picture. When they scanned the film the technicians grabbed the whole frame even in the safe zone, yielding a windscreen format of LIS we have never seen.
This sounds great, however, the folks working on the set in the 60's all knew about the safe area, and when working at the speeds they were if a light stand or set clamp was int the shot but not in the safe area they would go ahead and shoot knowing that part of the film would never be seen. Until now. I have always felt that the original artist only meant for us to see the original squareish format, and they composited the shots for the small screen. Showing the full frame is the same as George Lucas "fixing" Star Wars. It was not that way originally, leave it alone. Having said that seeing LIS on the a big screen at the con filling up the wide 16:9 ratio in HD was breathtaking.
So, this is the long way around to their unique approach. The Blu-ray disks will be in the original format. What's called "pillar box," with black bars on the sides filling the space so the picture look as it did when originally broadcast, even on a wide screen TV. However the episode broadcast on stations like ME-TV, Netflix and Amazon streaming, will be the wide screen versions. So the hard core collectors, like us, who will be buying the blu-ray's get the show as it was, and the new fans seeing it for the first time will get the more modern wide screen version. I think this is the perfect compromise. "Why not put both versions on the Blu-ray?" I hear you ask. Unfortunately it's too cost prohibitive. It's 85 plus hours of content, and the disks will be expensive enough. Who knows maybe someday they will release a wide screen blu-ray, until then you can always download the wide version.
Couple of other notes before I wrap up this long post. Sheila Allen fronted the $700K to do the re-mastering with no grantee from Fox they would distribute them. That was a huge risk and shows how much she really loved us fans. AND now that Fox is again interested in LIS, they are looking at starting up a new show.
Guess I burred the lead.

I did watch the entire MeTV run from beginning to end. First time in 35 years I've watched every episode.
