Doomsday Machine still sounds better than the GNP release, which wasn't that bad to begin with.
It's true. But after listening to the previous six discs you notice the distortion just because of how clear everything else sounds.
I'm listening to Gorgon Summoned/Gorgon Zapped on disc 5 of season 3. Other than the Lincoln music it's all library from here out.

FINISHED! 636 TRACKS! 17 HOURS, 18 MINUTES, 8 SECONDS!
I got through Beyond Antares! I got through Maiden-Wine! I got through the Space Hippies! (Actually those are amazingly listenable. Napier had a terrific voice!)
I've read every word of the liner notes! I smashed a CD case! I put on The Black Hole just for a breather!
Wow. Just wow. And then more wow.

I like that. It's like hurling the goblet into the fireplace after a toast, or smashing the wineglass with your heel at the end of the wedding ceremony. We should all smash a celebratory CD case after hearing all 17 hours!

I do have one question I need answered though. I am looking thru all the music, trying to find the Spock Nerve Pinch stinger. I know there is a track called 'Neck Pinch Sweetner' but its not the one I am looking for. The first time I recall it in an episode was during the "Mace Fight" cue in Catspaw when Spock lays McCoy out with the Nerve pinch. Anyone know were it is in the set?
Try Zap the Cap in the Library cues, tracks 38 & 39 in disc 5 of season 2.

But, before I listen to the whole set, can anybody tell me where the cues are in the set for the scenes in "The Tholian Web" where 1) they show short exterior shots of the glittering Defiant and 2) the Enterprise fires phasers on the Tholian ship? I'm assuming they are tracked and may be part of longer cues, but I really want to hear those. Thank you.
I'm looking forward to the Tholian Web cue that comes at the end of Kirk's memorial service. Always liked it.

I got mine Saturday and have been listening to it all weekend and this week....falling in love all over again with Who Mourns for Adonais? Or as I refer it to it "Mudd's Woman II" at least music wise, and Metamorphosis..

And again, to all of the staff of LLL and FSM....thanks for making my, and a whole lot of other Trekker Music fans dreams come true;-)
P.S. to Other Tallguy, "Goodnight Sweetheart" is getting alot of playtime on my player too;-)
You want "Zap the Cap" from season2, disc 5. The track called "Neck Pinch Sweetener" is what Gerry Fried recorded for that moment in Catspaw, but they tracked "Zap the Cap" (the shortest version I think) -- originally from "Charlie X" -- instead.

LOL! Nearly 50 years after the episode aired, I think we can dispense with the spoiler bars. Especially since it's pretty certain he wasn't dead. :-)

So has anyone started doing cue sheets for the tracked episodes?

Time to listen again!
Yes. Now I can listen to what I want to. Back to Where No Man Has Gone Before! I'd go listen to Metamorphosis again, but season three kind of lowered my Duning tolerance level a bit. I'll just give it some time.
I always noticed in the episode of Where No Man Has Gone Before, but I really love that Courage brings the "sonar pings" back into the fight with Gary at the end. (I think it's when Kirk is going to smash his head with the rock and hesitates.) It's great to hear it here.

Aye, just do it with a less fancy case that's easier to replace than the 6 disc-ers that come with the box.
It says something about how wonderful the packaging is on this box that even though I have all of the tracks available to me, and I can still read the booklets of notes, I miss having the box sitting on my desk. Kudos to the art team.
Just going from memory, a couple of image choices that I loved: Thanks for including Basil Poledouris. I love that you included Elaan's feet. The rest of the pan up is just kind of implied. And I liked the mix of "off season" images you included for the library cues.
