Indysolo, how much diegetic music will be on the set? I think you did confirm earlier that the "Way to Eden" songs (mostly) would be included, but what about things like the lounge music from a couple of early episodes, Uhura's singing and Spock's lyre playing from "Charlie X," "Beyond Antares," the harpsichord music from "Squire of Gothos," and the Brahms paraphrase from "Requiem for Methuselah?"

Don't forget "Space Radio" from Mudd's Women and the two unused "Trouble With Tribbles" cues, though they were already released.

I'll take that as confirmation.

[Christopher]

I think "Space Radio" is the "lounge music" I was talking about.

[Harvey]

The superlative book, "The Music of Star Trek," indicated that when music was tracked from previous seasons (i.e. when the funny music from "Shore Leave" was used any time during seasons two and three) it had to be re-recorded. Do any of these re-recorded cues differ significantly from the original, and, if so, will any of them be on the set?

[OneBuckFilms]

From my understanding (from the FSM boards, I think) they will be included.

Can't talk as to how they differ from the original recordings, of course.

[Christopher]

I have a Lost in Space CD that includes third-season re-recordings of first-season music which is available on other CDs. They're basically just different performances of the same pieces, with the only differences being slight variations in how they were conducted/performed/mixed, the sort of thing you have to be pretty familiar with the cues to pick up on. Things like slight differences in timing, or different relative loudness of two instruments playing at the same time, or the lack/addition of some slight imperfection or flourish in a musician's performance. I'd imagine the TOS re-recordings are much the same, since I know that show's music better than any other music I've ever heard, and I've never picked up on any blatant differences.

The most significant change you'll hear are the re-recordings from The Man Trap for season 3. The electric violin was replaced with a vocalist. This can be heard in "That Which Survives". And yes, the library versions are on this set.

$ 225.00 are they nuts ! I`d love to have this CD but forget it !

[Christopher]

^It's not one CD, it's 15 CDs. That works out to $15 per CD, which is close to a typical price range for CDs, and quite a bargain for a collector's item like this, particularly given the work that must've gone into creating it.

What are the chances that recordings of the music from TAS or other Filmation shows will ever be recovered?

Great question! I'd love to have recordings of those as well.

[Christopher]

^Yeah, and it's not just the TAS stuff I want, but the music from later Filmation shows like Space Academy/Jason of Star Command, and particularly the gorgeous music from Flash Gordon, Blackstar, The Lone Ranger, and Zorro, which was in a classic vintage-movie style. Although I realize that the market for that music must be very, very tiny, so I doubt there'd ever be a box set.

Perhaps Filmation soundtracks would generate attention/interest if a company started off with the biggest, most visible brand Filmation ever used: DC Comics. The primary audience would be in North America, where DC--in comics, cartoons and films--is as recognized as Washington's face on the dollar.

Once DC scores broke ground, I think you would see a vocal demand for more filmation music--like TAS, or the live action shows (ex. Shazam, Isis, Ark II, etc.)

Much information here. Thanks.

Wellll....just to be clear, would fight music from "The Omega Glory" (when Kirk unties himself in the room) which seems to be a rearranged version of the Kirk v. Mitchell track from "Where No Man Has Gone Before," find its way on the box set?

For that matter, i'm guessing the WNMHGB fight music is included?

I recall that was not a part of GNP's TOS pilot album...huge disappointment back in the day.

[OneBuckFilms]

If they were created editorially, no.

If they were specifically created, then yes.

[OneBuckFilms]

If not, then the pieces exist to recreate it if you wish.

I suspect it was tracked.
