YES!!!!!! Yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!!! THIS is really one score I have needed a complete released since 1984. Oh God, that's three huge "holy grails" from FSM for me. Superman Box, Khan and now this. This is huge for me. I remember riding my bike home from Record World the day after seeing the film opening night. How much I loved that album, but was so bummed to be missing so many great cues. And 26 years, I'd pay special attention to the video/DVD/BD viewings just to savor the music of the Genesis planet breaking up as Kirk finds Spock at the right age. And better: SUNSET ON GENESIS! This is the cue I was hoping for back when I got the LP and there it wasn't. Until now! Listening to the abbreviated samples brought tears to my eyes. I went into "air conductor" mode like a little geek and was thrilled. THANK YOU! If you release nothing else I like ever again, you have still made my film score library complete with these miracle releases. Oh yeah...ordered!

What, no bonus cues from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet? Kidding, kidding... At the risk of reopening tired debates, let me just say that I've thought for a while now that the "Romeo & Juliet" quotes were a deliberate way to parallel Shakespeare's "star-cross'd lovers" with Kirk and his "lady" ... i.e., the Enterprise is Kirk's Juliet. Certainly, the juxtaposition of the "death" of the Enterprise (as it burns through the atmosphere) with a quotation from the death of Juliet seems too apt and on-the-nose to be mere coincidence. Sure, it's the sort of thing that will only be noticed by the musical literati ... but so was Williams' tongue-in-cheek quote of Stravinsky's "Firebird" in HOOK. At any rate, this is a terrifically exciting release, prime Horner, and I intend to enjoy every note of it!

Oh, and who else thinks that this version has more attractive artwork than the LP? This is my favorite version of the movie poster. The LP version was just butt ugly. I love how the CD is being released on the 26th anniversary of the US film release. :-)

there are ABSOLUTELY NO DIALOGUE whatsoever on ST III album Wow! Excellent news and a thoughtful way of giving everyone the film and album versions of compositions. Love the striking new artwork too. One question: the back cover states "Dialogue Snippets © 1984 Paramount Pictures." Is there dialog? The back cover of the TREK II disc does not mention dialog yet retains the original Nimoy voice over. Cheers Chris

Thanks everyone for your enthusiastic feedback. It's fun to see all the interest. I don't mind the occasional criticism, because everyone has a right to his opinion and the point of the board is to discuss them. I do wish that people would maybe keep the safeties on their phasers turned on until they had all the facts...I won't bother to rehash the arguments as the explanations have already been given, but from time to time we are placed into creative situations where we know going on that we've got to please the 85% of the people who will want the program to be one thing, vs. the 14% who want the opposite. I leave out 1% because they are never happy with anything and like the attention they get from expressing a contrary point of view. I will say one thing: nothing would have stopped us from charging $29.95 (per some other "goody" 2CD sets in recent months). In fact we could have asked $34.95 and made more money...the studios would not have minded, they get the same percentage no matter what and would have deferred to our judgment. But we are using $24.95 because want the music to be affordable to those who want to hear it. So there! I hope people like having this 2CD configuration because you'll also like O... O you'll find out in a few weeks. Lukas

"wow, stop complaining, please! If you can not pay that little extra shipping you dont need this release!!! " Woa, i hope you are joking because my criticism of SAE's business policy as far as shipping costs is concerned was clearly separate from my comments of the release and its well justified pricing itself! I really can't see how you make a connection there, especially because i said i actually BOUGHT the album regardless of that extra shipping fee for the second disc!

WOW! Amazing! Thanks a lot for your efforts FSM-Guys! Start Trek II was great deal as well ... I just wished you would have put the track "Genesis Project" by Huxley to the end of the album ;-) It's the best of both worlds, if you liked the album version, you get it. If you want to the expanded score, you get that... And you only have to pay an additional $5.00 for the 2nd CD... Not a bad deal for those of us wanting this sort of release for the last 26 years.... Ford A. Thaxton I agree with Ford! I do not own the old album version, so I am happy I can get now both for an additional $5.00 Great cover by the way ;-)

I knew that sticking with my original LP and holding off on purchasing a CD copy for a couple of decades would finally pay off! Can't wait to hear the gorgeous "Returning to Vulcan" cue remastered on CD. Absolutely! Imagine the PDB's who shelled out 75 plus in Beans American for that GNP reease, and what they must feel like today . PDB: Poor, dumb bastards
