That’s interesting. I’ve got the season DVDs (from 2003ish?) and I have the blu rays. My audio rips are from my DVDs. I don’t recall hearing Doomsday music. But maybe I wasn’t listening closely enough.

Yep, all three DVD releases ('99/'00, '04 & '08) and the Blu-Rays ('09) have a couple of incorrect cues used in Part II of The Menagerie. One cue's at the very beginning and incorrectly uses a Doomsday Machine cue instead of the correct Enemy Within cue. Later on, a cue is used that is taken from the re-recordings for Charlie-X instead of using the original cue.

The old Laser-disc and VHS sets did not have this mistake.


The recent DVD releases that came out just recently I assume are no different than the 2008 sets.

Thanks. So the Royal Philharmonic shows up only in "The Menagerie" Part 2?

Correct. And only one time. Same thing goes for the Doomsday Machine music; only one cue is incorrectly used at the very beginning. And yep, it is only part 2 that has these mistakes.

Thanks. I'm going to make a note of it and really try to catch the Varese cue the next time I play the DVD.

Maybe I need to listen closer, but the opening of Menagerie pt 2 (after the credits) sounds like The Enemy Within.

I never realized that they used "Beyond the Pale" from Where No Man Has Gone Before for the "Last week on Star Trek" section.

I can't easily search through all the many pages of this to find the answer right now so I'm hoping someone will just be knowledgable and help me: was it ever revealed who sung Goodnight, Sweetheart for The City on the Edge of Forever? I'm assuming it was recorded for the episode though I wonder if it was an existing recording still a little bit...anybody have details?

Thanks in advance,
Yavar

P.S. To Lukas: did anything ever come of your contact from Tom (above)?

yavar, i can't be totally completely sure, but i would bet about.... ooh, 20 quid.... that the vocal artist was never identified. last thing i recall on the subject was lukas exclaiming something like - noooooo, please, for the last time we don't know who sang it - or something like that.

if someone proves me wrong, your 20 quid is on its way... or could we make it 5, question mark.

Apparently they brought in an affordable vocalist who could sound reasonably like Rudy Vallee in THE PALM BEACH STORY. At least, that's how it sounds to me. It's just too bad he didn't get screen credit.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a deep dark secret involved, known only to the Illuminati? Like what if the singer was Fred Steiner or Robert Justman? Maybe George Takei. I can tell you for a fact it wasn't Leonard Nimoy or Eddie Paskey.

Sure, Takei would have talked by now, but not everybody talks.

Jimmy Doohan could have done it. He's Star Trek's 'Man of a Thousand Voices.'

Going by The Animated Series he's Star Trek's Man of Seven Voices. wink

Crazy idea for some Trek track/playlist re-ordering malarky occurred to me today whilst having yet another blast of this wonderful set through the stereo. I assume logs were kept of exactly what was on each reel of tape transferred, and (I'm keeping fingers crossed here) perhaps photos of each of the reels/boxes/box notations as well? I'd love to create an 'original master tape' playlist per reel, with a photo of each for the 'covers'. I'm assuming this would be way too much hassle for the perpetually busy 'powers that be' to release, or there might be some copyright shenanigans that prevented photos being released, but it just struck me as a fun idea this afternoon... Would be the nearest thing to actually being able to play the genuine article in each instance, and a fun way of re-organising this set in iTunes. Yes, I'm a reel to reel nerd as well as a soundtrack addict too... wink

P.S. Been listening to Amok Time a lot these past few days for obvious reasons... It's helped... LLAP

I'm working my way through this set and hoping to produce a condensed playlist of maybe about 4 or 5 hours' worth of music. Has anyone here already done this? Care to share?

Chris.

Maybe you should take the time to do it yourself as opposed to asking others to do it for you.

That's a novel idea.

I'm no fan of Star Trek so this was never on my radar, but great to see a big release like this getting so much love. I hope it was a big hit for LaLaLand too.

Hey, Tom, thanks for posting your track lists.

Tackling a mammoth box set like the Trek one is quite daunting, and it's very handy to have "Greatest Hits" lists like these, for those of us who'd like to become more familiar with the more interesting and iconic cues.

Ford, not everyone has the time to carefully listen to a fifteen-track box set, perhaps many times, or know the series it came from well enough, in order to be able to sort the wheat from the chaff. While I'm thrilled to have every note written for the series, I'm also very happy to have an abbreviated play-list featuring the set's highlights.
