Just got my 2013 Ships of the Line calendar for Christmas (because I am that kind of nerd). I noticed that the Star Trek logo used on the TOS box is the same as the calendar (the TOS logo with the suggestion of the Enterprise saucer grid). I gather this is the 2012 / 2013 "Official" Trek logo?

Hallo,
I'm very happy with these fantastic set from LaLaLand! The editorial work is a milestone in television soundtrack releasing! The wonderful four booklets, all the cues, the assembling, the covers, the artwork and so on! Many thanks to the LaLaLand Team!
But I think the producers are purists! They produced the master tapes as the mixed down for the television broadcasting. That's their Credo and I accept it! But for me I decided to enhance the sound a little bit. This is no magic from me, all credits go to the NERO Multimedia Suite 10 software!
Their stereoprocessing is very good for me (I don't know, how the others like it). It is fake stereo - that's clear but the difference is unbelievable when you hear it with headphones/earphones - and I'm like it to hear music with this equipment! The sound is a little bit louder, much fuller, more clear and crisp - not so focused on the midcenter, and it is with much more details. The sound is much more expanded and you can hear - in detail - the specific instrumental parts. I like it and I'm so happy that I found it on NERO. I can enhance "Shoreleave" like the version from GNP Crescendo and so on! The difference is not so big, when you hear it on the loudspeakers, but you can hear it for sure!
Here are some mp3 examples. They are all from the first season.
(sorry I can only provide Links for download and not direct sound samples):
One example in Original monaural sound:
The Romulan Agitato

and the enhanced version

and three other samples
Space Cube/Condition Alert

Space Radio

For the purist. Yes I know, TV in the 60 are in mono, and in the 70 and mostly 80 too. But I think they don't recorded it in the 60 in mono. Like "Battlestar Galactica", all music was recorded in stereo, and - what a pitty - than only retained in mono. For "Star Trek" see "The City on the Edge of Forever" - I think all Star Trek Music sounds for a while like that! So I restore it a little bit and the fake stereo is for me my tribute to the composers and orchestrators, who do a fantastic job!
All I can say, have fun with it - and when you want, all of you can do it, if you want it - with NERO!

I have to say, I am not a fan of the process you used, it sounds tinny, and out of phase, I get better results with MDA stereo or Pseudo Stereo in Audacity.

The Ships of the Line calenders are a favourite of mine. They always feature interesting art, and some of the original scenarios serve as good inspiration for the imagination as you look at them, imagining the events that may lead to the scenarios they depict.
This year's image of the U.S.S. Aventine flying alongside the early "Spiral"-class (for lack of a real designation for the class) Enterprise made me do a bit of a double-take. I wouldn't mind if a future novel did something with that, in the way that the Destiny trilogy a few years ago made use of the image of the NX-02 Columbia being salvaged by the crew of the Defiant on a desert planet in the Gamma Quadrant shortly before the Dominion War broke out.

Here's some:

Argh! Believe it or not, Amazon was the first place I looked; I searched for "Star Trek 2013 calendar" and didn't get anything (!). I'm not sure what happened.
If you have any old Star Trek calendars laying around (or any other older calandars) the years 1985 and 1991 can be used for 2013. All the dates match.

I noticed that Diana Muldaur got a "special thanks" credit in the liner notes for the boxed set. What was her involvement with this release?
The Blue Lagoon

|
|
Perhaps she wanted "special thanks" as part of her compensation for use of her likeness?

Ms. Muldaur kindly approved her photos, yes. Paperwork was sketchy for TOS guest actors so they have had to do modern likeness deals for trek products--hence no pix of mr. Carmel, walker jr etc

According to Jimmy Doohan's biography "Beam Me Up, Scotty," she has a wicked sense of humor. Since Doohan was well known for his long lived grudge against Shatner (and a number of anecdotes in the book were way off the path of fact), take it as you may; during the rehearsals for Return to Tomorrow, Shatner was putting the moves on Muldaur. At one point, she said "if I'm going to sleep with anyone it's going to be with Jimmy Doohan!"
Doohan, charitably I guess, finished the story with "I have to give Bill some crazy credit in that things like that just rolled off his back." He laughed, shrugged it off and went about his day.
True or not, she seems in interviews to be very laid back and nice.

I think my favorite TOS set booklet "cameo" is Basil Poledouris as a security officer from Obsession.
