Pre-Release info on Star Trek The Original Series Complete Box Set Soundtrack - Artwork + Exclusive Samples!
Posted on November 18, 2012 • Trek Merchandise Three years ago Star Trek fans were delighted when Film Score Monthly released the full expanded soundtrack from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Since then, there has been a whole renaissance of new Star Trek soundtrack releases from a number of different specialist record labels. One of the leading forces in releasing these much sought-after soundtracks is La-La Land Records who this year put out the critically acclaimed limited edition 3CD release of the soundtrack from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Hot on the heels of that release, La-La Land astounded fans with news that a complete soundtrack collection of the full archive of music from Star Trek: The Original Series would be released in a deluxe 15-CD box set in December 2012. Our friends at La-La Land have provided TrekCore with some special high-resolution images of the boxset and its contents. We'll also be working closely with La-La Land to bring you a series of exclusive features on the collection to tide you over until release date on December 4th 2012. Scroll to the bottom of the article for some exclusive samples from the set!
The 15-CD boxset will contain all episode scores as heard in all three original seasons of Star Trek. This special collection has been newly remastered from studio elements and features hours of material previously unreleased in any format. The set is limited to 6,000 units and will be available exclusively from www.lalalandrecords.com at 1pm (PST). The retail price will be $224.98.
Original series composers Alexander Courage, George Duning, Jerry Fielding, Gerald Fried, Sol Kaplan, Samuel Matlovsky, Joseph Mullendore and Fred Steiner are all represented in this deluxe collection, their historic work meticulously assembled, restored and remastered. Four CD booklets featuring over 100 pages with in-depth liner notes from film music writer and Star Trek historian Jeff Bond, complement this set, which is housed in a hardcover slipcase.
This release marks the kind of authoritative collection of original Trek series music that fans have desired for decades. Album producer Lukas Kendall states:
It's also particularly note-worthy that the set will contain a whole chunk of music which has never been heard, as mentioned by La-La Land President MV Gerhard:
