Is there a DVD/Blu-ray release with the original & remastered TOS episodes?

I like the remastered versions fine, but I think I'd like both the original and the remastered episodes.
 
Netflix has all the episodes as the remastered jobs except for Obsession! Why they ignored that beauty is beyond my great reasoning to be sure! :eek:

Right on, JB - Netflix has the remasters, while CBS All Access seems to have the originals. That seems wrong somehow. :shrug:
 
I now, finally, have the DVD set of the remastered version. I am a bit disappointed with the fact that they chose to present them in airing sequence, rather than production sequence. But I'm bowled over by the amount of bonus material.

I still have the original versions of my favorite episodes on VHS. And really, given that you can probably still find season sets of the original versions on DVD (if all else fails, try Alibris), I see no reason why one would need both the original and remastered versions in the same box set.

And yesterday, watching the first bonus featurette on the first DVD volume, and was amazed at the scope of the remastering, going to the length of cutting brand new session tapes of every single music cue, but going back to Courage's original orchestrations, and conducting them in such a way as to sound, from a purely musical standpoint, virtually indistinguishable from the original recordings.

Although given that, I also wish they'd included the "pilot" version of WNM, with the pilot version of the open.

To save shelf space.

Only the main titles were re-recorded for Star Trek - Remastered.

Although given that, I also wish they'd included the "pilot" version of WNM, with the pilot version of the open.
The pilot version is in HD on the season 3 Blu-ray set.
