In the meantime, we should probably focus on the two (three, technically) CDs we DO have - and marvel over how impossible it seemed that we would get them.
I already am, and smile to think that all of James Horner's work for Star Trek is out for all of us to enjoy and examine.
I know I'll be listening to Trek III a LOT until Trek 09 DE comes out next week.
Then I'll listen to that endlessly, then start going back to Trek II, Trek III etc.
My GOODNESS, we ARE being spoiled these last couple of years.

Ok, don't like reporting this, but upon listening to track 7 "Grissom destroyed", I detected an obnoxious popping sound at 0:21 (0:21.814 to be exact) in both channels. Played it in two different drives and they give the same result.
Can anyone else confirm this on their copy?
Mine seems to be pop free. I'm playing the track now and I hear nothing out of the ordinary.

My guess is that Lukas released Trek II as a one off when Paramount opened up their vaults, then fan demand got to the point of breaking his email inbox, leading to Trek III.
Why would you think that? The Search For Spock was a direct follow up to The Wrath Of Khan and both scores were by the same composer who developed many of the themes from the prior film. It's pretty reasonable to assume both scores were on his mind. It's not like he had no idea of the desire for TSFS until TWOK was released. Just going by the quote from Lukas you mention:
Incidentally, I have received more than a few suggestions to release Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Really, you don't say? … I am well aware of the demand for a complete-score Star Trek III but it's not something that follows naturally from Star Trek II, given that the LP rights are controlled by a different company (EMI, not Atlantic Records) and it's a little bit like starting from scratch.
Sounds to me like something that can't be whipped together in the "less than a year" between the release of Trek II and III. A few years ago there was a thread on this board about score CD suggestions. The reply from Lukas was something like "anything you suggest we've already thought of." That was back before the studios loosened up. Unless he pipes up to the contrary, I'm more than willing to accept Lukas had the two-fer in mind from the start. Whether he could pull it off is another thing, but reaction to the Khan CD was probably just confirmation.

Been listening to this almost nonstop since I got it. Simply fantastic job, FSM!
"Docking the Enterprise," while unfortunately tagged onto "Klingons," is strikingly poignant. A real album highlight. If only Abram's Star Trek had just one scene with the grace and class that one does!

Thanks Lukas, already did and they will replace it, I will edit both my posts to avoid confusion. Thank you SAE/FSM for the excellent service.
Wait! Neil checked and you're hearing the blaster beam - could you please tell SAE to abort the replacement?
Neil will chime in shortly.

I just went through the multi-track on Trek III. The "tick" people are hearing in "Grissom Destroyed" is the blaster beam. That's how it was recorded. It's not a problem with our disc and we are faithful to Dan Wallin's recording.
