So, did they ship it to anyone yet?
FSM announced the complete STAR TREK III score!!
- Thread starter ScottDS
- Start date
Some have had it shipped, a few others aparrently have an order status of Pending.
My guess is that demand was very high for this release, so it is taking longer than anticipated to process and ship all of the CDs.

I received a notification a few hours ago that my copy is on its way Down Under.

Got mine in the mail today. Definite, total WIN on FSM's part. I've been listening to it all evening as I've been writing and have yet to be disappointed. You guys are in for a real treat!
Seriously, this is really an amazing album. 26 years of wanting the rest of the music, listening past sound effects, picking out favorite bits, I knew this music was vastly underrated (much like the film itself). Now to finally have it free and clear from the film, it's a revelation as well as a vindication. And when listened to back to back with Star Trek II, it really feels like a second movement in a two movement piece. There's a lot of feeling and maturity in the writing and Horner is absolutely firing on all cylinders. This is great work and a real gift to Trek music fans, and film score fans in general. There isn't a single track I don't like, much like TWOK.
FSM really came through twice, and I'm thrilled Paramount is now open to releasing music form their inventory. I am positive all of the Trek movies will be release complete (2009's Trek comes out in a week or so). Outstanding. AND, it's not a limited edition, so everyone who wants one will be able to get one.
And do so, by all means. Really, really great stuff.

Amen to that !!!
I just got mine, and I can't believe how much the sound quality has improved from the GNP CD.
And every cue is great.

The masters used for the GNP weren't so great, but there were alternate masters, which I assume FSM used -- along with their superior mstering engineer and techniques -- for this score. Indeed, some cues sound like they are different performance takes than the ones I become very, very accustomed to on the GNP CD; a couple moments, for example, lack the orchestration "umph" I expct to hear every time.
Sadly, the main title still sounds thin and tin can-ny, but not as bad as the GNP CD.
But in the end they did a fantastic job and made a bunch of dreams come true.

They went back to Dan Wallin's first generation 24-track digital masters for TSFS.
It was mastered by Michael Matessino, who also worked on Star Trek: TMP Directors Edition.

Thanks OneBuckFilms for the info that this soundtrack recording was a digital multitrack one.
If it was recorded digitally back then that means no additional tape hiss or any high frequency degradation as you are playing back the same digital signal that was recorded (based on the quality of the analog-to-digital converters during the recording.)
To some of you while it may seem odd as STIII:TSFS was released on 1 June 1984 that the soundtrack was recorded digitally there has been commercial digital 32-track multitrack recording since 1978 when a classical recording was made. The first pop/rock album done in multitrack digital was in 1979.

Got mine on Saturday. Today was my first chance to listen. Sounds great!
NOTE:
I was speaking of -- posted in the wrong thread -- TWoK FSM CD.

I got mine, have been enjoying it immensely. Everything I had hoped for, after 26 years.
I've watched the film innumerable times, and the earlier soundtrack on CD a million times. There is STILL new music to be heard on this CD, and not just unreleased stuff. Tracks I've heard before, but not like this. Wonderful.
Amongst my faves so far...
The music as the Enterprise is destroyed.
I'm familiar with it from the movie, but hearing it straight like this reveals much new material and more emotion than I recall. Good stuff.
Also, Courage's classic theme played for the introduction of the Grissom.
Yeah, you know which queue I'm talking about. THAT one.
Been waiting 26 years for that and I love it.

Yay! My air-freighted "newly expanded edition" of the Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" double CD was waiting for me on Thursday night when I arrived home from the CBD books & comics run! Excellent soundtrack!
I absolutely love the intact final track, which has the three old tunes that were used as background mood music in the Earth bar. Great to hear them unencumbered by dialogue; I'd only ever been able to hear tiny snippets of each one before.
And yeah, "A Fighting Chance to Live" is amazing!

I'm bumping this really old thread (sorry) because Intrada has just reissued this album. Their release is identical to this album.

A worthy follow-up to the 09 expansion of The Wrath of Khan expansion. Glad to see some folks who missed out on the initial release have another shot at it. Definitely one of my first soundtrack purchases that included both the expanded and original album. Never thought that would be way more common in future releases.
