I was really jazzed when La-La Land released Beverly Hills Cop I and II. Alien³ as well, but for that one, at least we had an isolated score

Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Ron Jones Project
I wanted the music since I'd heard it in the show and realized how fantastic it was. I'd drive my family crazy by shouting "Ronnie Jones!" at the beginning of episodes he'd scored. I never thought the music would see the light of day outside the show and treasured Crescendo's album for "The Best of Both Worlds" as well as the suite from "Heart of Glory" on their first Best of Star Trek album.
Then the rumors started circulating. FSM were allegedly working on a box set of Ron Jones's music from The Next Generation. I took it with a grain of salt. They were so vague and it was well known that Paramount was vacuum sealed when it came to expansions. The rumors would reappear occasionally over the course of the next two years or so... until the announcement.
When I saw it confirmed by none other than Lukas Kendall, I was in musical heaven before even hearing a sample. It was finally coming, and at a reasonable price. I bought it, day one, and got an autographed copy. Flipping through the booklet and looking at all the discs, I kept having to pinch myself. I never expected this day to come. Listening to "The Naked Now" sans dialogue and sound effects was a treat. The sound was exquisite and the music dropped from the episode was a revelation. The experience was repeated throughout the set. Opening that box and listening to the first disc was an experience that I will remember until the day I die. A musical dream fulfilled.
I have the set in rotation at all times, working my way through it beginning to end, inserting the expanded presentation of "The Best of Both Worlds" at the end of the third season before resuming with "Brothers." The next one up for me right now is "The Nth Degree." I'm nearly finished again. It's almost time to begin anew.
Thanks for loving this music as much as I do, Lukas. More than that, thank you for getting it on CD! I never could have gotten that accomplished.

Honestly? Probably George Fenton's China Moon.
Maybe it's not a "classic" on the level of Ben-Hur, Star Wars or Dances With Wolves, but I was at the scoring session and was quite bowled over by Fenton's music. I never expected this score to see the light of day, since the film kind of came and went and nobody ever seemed to notice the music.
I pretty-much expected most of the scores by the "giants" of the profession would eventually see release, so to have this obscure (and highly underrated) gem on CD -- about 20 years after it was written -- left me very much "jazzed".

I remember being so intensely ecstatic for the Deluxe Edition of Gremlins 2 that I called every friend and relative on the phone to scream THEY'RE RELEASING GREMLINS 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YYYYYYEEESSSS! and then I'd hang up before they had the chance to question or react.

Star Trek 50th Anniversary Collection by La-La Land for it's non-Spock voice over take on the film version of the end titles. You couldn't contain my excitement for such an incredible feat. I'm forever thankful for La-La Land on making that track possible.
Same album, but for the Animated Series inclusion.
On that same note: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and (once Enjoy the Records actually wants to be wealthy) The Transformers.
