For anyone who missed it the first time, it looks like the limited edition score release of Star Trek V, which was originally limited to 5000 copies and sold out in 4 months, is coming back! All signs point to Monday night, which is when Intrada makes their announcements.
According to the gentleman who runs Intrada (the label that released IV and VI):
One [album] is a straight reissue of a CD that went out of print fairly quickly and the studio preferred having it stay in print, so we were happy to oblige. Mainly for people who missed out and the broader audience. If you have it, no need to upgrade unless you are fussy about spines.
And according to the gentleman who runs La-La Land Records (the label that released it originally):
A little while after the cd sold out Lukas [Kendall, album producer] came to me and asked if we wanted to reissue the cd. I said no. We told our customers its 5000 units, so that means its 5000 units. He said cool, do you mind if Intrada reissues it? I said no, I don't mind. It makes sense Paramount would want it in print to make a few extra bucks.
A few more months pass and I hear from Sony Music informing me that Intrada wants to reissue Trek V. Sony asks if we want to repress or hand the rights over to Intrada. I said hand them over. I've been there...done that and now it's time to move on.
Not too long after Roger [of Intrada] emails me and asks if its cool if they reissue Trek V -- keeping the same master and liner notes, but changing up the artwork. I tell him Warp Speed ahead!
So, Intrada can now press up to 10,000 more units of Trek V (or 5,000...depending on how the AFM Historical Rate applies to this situation). I wish them well and hope it sells.
