La-La Land to release 15-disc original series score set

[TREK_GOD_1]

Nice selection of case cover images. I am soooooo thrilled about this!

Side thought, I wonder if the value of the original GNP LP of The Cage/WNMHGB will have any value--historical value (as a collectible) once this superior, complete version is released?

[Harvey]

The value of all the other original soundtracks has plummeted once expanded versions have been released, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Basically, supply will vastly outstrip demand with regards to the GNP TOS CDs.

With the LP, however, I'm not sure, as there is a submarket for LPs, but I doubt it'll get much either way.

Once I have this set, my GNP CDs are going to a good friend who's been getting into soundtracks in a pretty big way (with a few introductory nudges from me, hehe).

I am so glad that this is being done, and cannot imagine the amount of work involved in all areas (restoration, editing/mastering, contracts and negotiations, financing, artwork, liner notes, and other things I cannot even think of).

I get to thank some of the responsible parties in person on December 3rd, which will be great.

What a nice thought. I wish I could do the same. When you're working on something you love or feel called to do it is great work, but work nevertheless, so again, thanks to the planners and doers!

[Indysolo]

All approved! Off to be manufactured.

[Ronald Held]

Good!

[OneBuckFilms]

Excellent.

Can't wait to hear it all.

[M]

Do we know when to expect a detailed track listing for this?

[OneBuckFilms]

Nope. I suspect Black Friday, or maybe the day before, as it is one of La-La Land's Black Friday releases.

But I do know one thing: I'm curious.

So am I, but mostly confused. Isn't Black Friday the day after Thanksgiving? I thought this set was coming out December 4? Did I miss an anoucement somewhere?

[OneBuckFilms]

I think the Black Friday announcement will be the full press release, track listing etc.

Black Friday is generally when they make the announcement, not the release date.

[Esteban]

I see the event at the Egyptian is sold out already.

Bless the Fans.

[TREK_GOD_1]

The most exciting ST event in years....and it is not a film or TV show.

Who would have guessed that.

Okay... comparing to the GNP Crescendo album's track list, the only previously unreleased cues from "The Cage" are "Long Look" and "Who Was Eve?" (Plus a couple of title variances -- "Probing" was listed as "Probed" and "To Catch a T." as "To Catch a Talosian.") I'm a bit puzzled, because I thought the music for the Rigel Fortress establishing sequence was unreleased, and "Long Look" is in the wrong place to be that. Is my memory wrong?

Previously unreleased "Where No Man" cues include:

Beyond the Pale
The Patient
Some Corpse
Decision
Playtime
Megalomania
Stronger and Stronger
Strangle by Wire
Power Mad
Situation Grave
Epilogue

That's more than half the soundtrack by running time; the previously released tracks add up to just over 13 minutes. Title differences: "Act 1 Card" was previously listed as "Star Date" (going by placement and run time), "Silver Orbs (Zooms Past)" was "Silvery Orbs," "On Delta Vega" was "On Delta-Vega," "End Title" was "End Title and Credits," and "End Credits" was "Additional Credits."

I'm puzzled by the track numbers. On other sets, it seems that the first digit represents the act -- track M21 is the first cue in act 2, M22 is the second, and so on, with the teaser and act 1 going together. But here we've got first digits going up to 8 for "The Cage" and 6 for "Where No Man," even though they had 4-act structures back then.
