Was there ever a sound track released for The Animated Series?

[Indysolo]

There was a missing song from "The Way to Eden" which I presume has also not been found (some of Spock's tuning up is reused from "Charlie X"). From what I understand, there is nothing left to release. I'm pretty satisfied.

Per this document, we released all of the songs.

" i'm gonna crack my knuckles and jump for joy, I've got a clean bill of health from Dr. McCoy."

That's what I was thinking of. And now that I look at it, that doesn't really count as a song. For some reason I thought there was music backing it. Never mind.

And it was recorded on set.

There was also the Steppin' into Eden song, but there was no music under that one.

"Saturday Morning Trek" has an excellent interview with Neil S. Bulk and Mike Matessino that talks about how they recovered the Animated Series tracks:

Dammit. My podcasts apparently didn't update properly. Instead I had to listen to people on the bus yacking about their weekends! The pain!

It's just insanely amazing that all of that music from a 50 year old series was released and was in such great shape.

That was a good listen, thanks! I'm like a kid, "I better get that CD on Christmas!"

That was a terrific podcast. Saturday Morning Treks has become one of my favorites. (Although the episode where they brainstormed an animated sequel to The Alternative Factor might count as a hate crime.)

The track titles are impressive. Like Mike said, it's "the best episode of Star Trek ever"!

Yes. The Christmas Tree has much to answer for this year.

Neil was on Melodic Treks last week talking about the 4 CD set.

I know I'm almost entirely interested in the first two discs, but where's the love for disc 3 and 4? (Other than talking about Comunique, of course.)

Did I miss something? Has the TAS soundtrack been recovered and released?

If you missed post # 14 and following, then yes. And yes.

Yes, it was a part of a 4 CD La La land record 50th anniversary collection released a few months ago; here is a link:

Not recovered, but meticulously reconstructed from episode audio.

I know I'm almost entirely interested in the first two discs, but where's the love for disc 3 and 4? (Other than talking about Comunique, of course.)

I admit I still haven't gotten around to listening to those.

 

[Warped9]

Thanks all! This is a must have.

 

[Tallguy]

Yes. Yes it is.

We are going to brainstorm an animated Mirror Universe episode so that is more likely to turn out better :-) That plot, while not how I would have taken it, at least helped explain some of the TOS episode. Not make it better, but at least make a little more sense!

In honor of "Star Trek Day" (it's a thing!) La-La Land Records is running a flash sale on all of their Star Trek albums, including the 50th anniversary collection with the animated series music on it.

I’m late to the discussion on this but was doing some research on the boxed set containing TAS soundtrack and stumbled onto this discussion. This is fascinating information here, thanks! One thing I’m not clear on is whether the Animated Series soundtrack in this set is stereo or mono? I understand it doesn’t have effects or voice.

Also, it was mentioned that the original masters of season 2 and 3 were found. Except for sound quality, would having these available while the set was being assembled have provided any other benefits? Probably would have saved a lot of work by the producers I’m sure, but any other sonic benefits?

TAS is mono.

Having the masters for the library cues for seasons 2 and 3 would not have been anymore or less work to prep for the box set. I'm glad we found them though and were able to get them released, as we got as much material released from the original masters as possible between the box set and this 50th anniversary release.
