Star Trek Soundtracks

Well, I for one am ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGED and posting about it in ALL CAPS ON THE INTERNET!

Surely that's the most effective way of getting what I want and not encouraging more people to buy the existing products, right?
 
Listening to Picard Season 3 Volume 2 and will have thoughts later but it I think "End Credits" is actually an unused track that combines the quiet portion of the First Contact theme with Jeff Russo's Picard end credits theme. It's interesting, though I'm ultimately glad they went with the remixed First Contact theme in the show.
 
I found it rather disappointing that they reverted to recycling music from earlier in the franchise for S3.

The beginning of the track is the music that plays at the end of the finale when Picard gives his "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted..." speech. This is the one track I really wanted that was missing in Volume 1.

The second half of the track is the actual end credits music (not the "opening credits" at the end of each episode that foreshadows the plot of the season).
 
Great news!

La-La Land Records, CBS Studios and GNP Crescendo Records proudly present STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES – THE 1701 COLLECTION VOL. 7, the seventh and final 2-CD set in a series of limited edition CD releases that showcase original scores from the landmark sci-fi television series STAR TREK (1966-1969). Containing music originally from our long out-of-print 2012 Original Series Box Set, these exciting volumes utilize the same restored master as that acclaimed release, but feature new packaging by Dan Goldwasser, along with brand new, exclusive liner notes by film music writer and Trek historian, Jeff Bond. This groundbreaking, iconic music, from one of television’s most acclaimed and beloved series, is now again available for fans everywhere!

Vol. 7 of the 1701 Collection focuses on the music of renowned composers Alexander Courage, Gerald Fried and Sol Kaplan, with the “Star Trek Theme” by Alexander Courage, and contains original scores from the classic pilots THE CAGE and WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE as well as the season two episodes AMOK TIME, and THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE, along with MAIN and END TITLES, additional music, source cues and more. Produced by Lukas Kendall, Neil S. Bulk and Jeff Bond, restored by Chris Malone and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this limited edition 2-CD release of 1701 units illustrates how the original Trek series scores not only teem with action, adventure and drama, but how they are infused with deep emotion and the greatness of the human spirit. Such characteristics have kept these richly orchestrated tracks vital and relevant decades beyond their original recording.

I am so excited about this announcement. It's so terrific that these are available.

The two pilot scores sound AMAZING. I think they were one of the great revelations from the old box set. So if you have any interest in Star Trek Original Series music, this is pretty much a must have.

I gather that this was a last minute deal between La-La Land and CBS and GNP Crescendo (who hold the rights to these CDs). Good news!
 
I'm still waiting for my order of volumes 1 through 6 to ship from Screen Archives Entertainment that I placed nearly a month ago...
