LAST 300 UNITS OF STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURE

Hmmm, just bought the 20th anniversary 2-CD for under $10.


There is no comparison.


This is very true. Some years ago I thought the 20th Anniversary set was good enough, but having recently bought the La-La Land 3-CD edition, there is indeed no comparison.

The 20th Anniversary set offers a nice program, reasonable sound quality and a nice bonus disc; the La-La Land 3-CD issue surpasses it in every way. It features absolutely stellar sound quality, the complete score which plays beautiful in its entirety, the original album for a nice concise presentation of the score and the amazing unused cues. All of that's already a real treat, but add the tons of extras and really nice packaging and notes, and this set is indispensable!

Star Trek TMP is one of the stand out titles in my collection and one of the best soundtrack releases there’s been. It is just an all round stunning release and wipes the floor with any previous release of this score. If you even remotely like this score you should own this set.

I wonder if Intrada will pick it up at some time in the future like they did with Final Frontier..

But I’d recommend anyone not to wait, you really won’t regret it. Hopefully this has sold all units and LLL isn’t cutting its run short. It deserves to sell all 10k units.

Thanks LLL for one of the greatest expanded release ever.

Oh and I also really like Twister. Great Score which really benefits from this expansion, another great release soon to disappear.

The last thing this thread needs is one more nerd saying this LLL set is the best expansion ever but

THE ST-TMP EXPANSION IS THE GREATEST 3 CD SET EVER

Just like the sign says - THERE IS NO COMPARISON.

Well, use disc one as a coaster (disc two is the only CD pressing of Inside Star Trek).

Frisbee! big grin

OK, fair point.

Correction: Use disc one as a coaster razz

The 20th Anniversary set didn't even do a good job of passing along INSIDE STAR TREK. They had a nice opportunity with Nichelle Nichols to add a bonus track at the beginning or end with whatever her thoughts were, but instead they chose to jam her into the middle of tracks, disrupting the vintage album with contrary thoughts from a later era.

So if you wanted to re-live your childhood memory of the LP, you can forget it. Now you've got extraneous material coming at you that you can't skip. I do not blame Nichelle for this. I blame the CD producers for their arrogance and total failure to consider the obvious target audience of that old, and yes stupid but still historical LP. That said, it's still better than nothing, and I'm not parting with it.

If I had the money I'd get Star Trek TMP. I wonder if Intrada will re-issue it.

Probably not...

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is just about the best presentation of a score that I can think of. All of my Star Wars soundtracks are jealous.

Thanks for the ride.

Originally I was just going to post an admission that I never went for the LLL package until last month and am so happy that I avoided missing out foolishly.

But after seeing the above, I add that 1) I know now I married the wrong woman, and 2) I must already have had my biggest laugh for today.

Thanks, Neil!

In its day, the 20th Anniversary TMP was a good release. Disc 1 was a huge step up from the old LP-program CD, and Disc 2 was of value to those of us who had owned INSIDE STAR TREK on vinyl. I'm just unhappy with the botched presentation of INSIDE STAR TREK.

Of course, with the LLL TMP, you have more than everything. I'm amazed by bts tracks, like Craig Huxley trying to perform the blaster beam and being treated so disrespectfully by "serious" musicians. And then if you add in the alternate mix of "Inner Workings" on LLL's 50th Anniversary set, you've gone beyond even that, to a level of comprehensive satisfaction that defies want.

What was botched about Inside Star Trek?
