I will definitely buy this and I'm grateful to Varese for releasing it, but I will admit I do feel a slight twinge of disappointment not seeing Lukas Kendall as co-producer on this one, after Star Trek: Nemesis. I'm guessing that probably also means no Jeff Bond liner notes. Yavar

I bought this instantly of course, since I have all the other expanded releases and after all, have to celebrate my fifth (gulp!) decade of trekkie-hood. But I've just got to say that the original album is to me one of the very best soundtrack albums to come out in years. It is a terrific album that hits all the high points in the score and plays beautifully. For me it has the same strengths as Star Trek the Motion Picture as far as a compelling summation of the score (and better than Wrath of Khan because the Main Character's Death Music is included!). This is really just a long winded way of saying both are worth owning! Especially appreciate the long versions of Harrison and Vengeance at the end of the expanded release - that's what tips the balance to make this a must have for me.

Well that was quick ... I ordered this, of course, and look forward to finally hearing some of this awesome score in full away from the film. Thanks Varese !!!!

Yavar God forbid that Mr. Townsend who been producing soundtrack albums since the mid-1980's (more then decade before Mr. Kendall) should be involved in such a project that he helped the same record label release...... Do you get my point? Ford A. Thaxton

Do you get my point? Ford A. Thaxton While Mr. Townsend's accomplishments and producing skills are generally unquestioned, there are reasons for skepticism here. There were some minor issues with the Star Trek Deluxe Edition release, including missing instrumental overlays, strange cross-track partitions, and missing choir (perfectly understandable due to union rules), as well as packaging that many do not like. This, plus the outstanding value that Lukas Kendall et al. have brought to the complete Star Trek movie and TOS releases, means that this is a reasonable concern. I'm not going to come to any judgement until the score is released, and I've seen the product myself, but the viewpoint is a valid one circumstantially, IMHO.
