I disagree with that. When ST II was released no one said a thing about it not including an album CD. And I haven't seen a response from FSM saying that the decision HAD to be made to include a 2nd CD.
It could be just a gimmick to inflate the price for all we know now.
What I find so disheartening is the automatic mistrust on display here, the assumption that we're being taken, that Lukas is just trying to jack up the price. What, in more than a decade, has Lukas or anybody at FSM done to deserve this suspicion? They have more than earned my trust.
I certainly don't need anybody from FSM to explain that their hands were tied, because if it was a creative decision, it was theirs to make. They have made it abundantly clear what I will get if I give them my $25 for this release. What have they done wrong here?
The difference between this CD and "Star Trek II"? Apparently (and I never knew this, but others did), some album tracks on "III" differed from the film versions. If you add up the time of the complete score as used in the film (CD 1) plus the alternate tracks from the original album (four of them), you go way over 80 minutes, even if you delete the source track suite at the end of disc one. "II" was merely the original album, plus additional cues, in film order. If you did that with "III," you would be leaving out alternates that a lot of fans would object to missing.
The second CD will cost you all of $5. I'm not making light of the value of $5, just saying that it hardly strikes me as an unreasonable price for a disc. If that's more than you're willing to pay, that's your prerogative. (And yes, I see that you did buy it.) But really, what's the crime here?

Yes I would have rather used that extra $5 for shipping.
But as you well know, had those album versions not appeared on this release, a different camp would be crying foul. A choice had to be made, and it necessarily would not please everyone. Soundtrack fans display infinite diversity in infinite combinations. A choice had to be made. That's life.

FYI, now I'm sure he will post some reply, but he really doesn't OWE YOU ONE.
The man put alot of time and $$$$ to get this out, I SUSPECT he had to include the original album as part of his license and this is what they came up with.
And it's worth mentioning that some of the album tracks are alternate versions of certain cues such as STEALING THE ENTERPRISE.
So it's a good deal as far as I'm concerned.
If you don't wish to buy it, that's your call.

OMG, how people are even able to already find something to complain about here is beyond me. But to each his own. I have nothing to complain about this release.
What i wonder about is why SAE is charging considerably more shipping costs for a multi disc set when there is really not that much difference in weigh and packaging between a single disc and a 2-disc release... the mysteries of the world! But of course that did not stop me from ordering STIII!
