There was a statement made earlier too that someone wished we'd have left off all the unused music from the set. Okayyyyy...so you don't want more music from "Amok Time"? You don't want to hear what happened when someone said to a composer, "write some music for this new series we're making, Star Trek. We don't how we're gonna use it yet, but just come up with something." If you're offended by that idea, I guess I can understand not wanting to hear it...in some insane bizarro universe maybe. The fact is leaving all that music off would not have reduced the cost of the set or the number of CDs. What's incredible about this set is I don't think any other TV series has had ALL its music catalogued in one release like this. This is an unprecedented look into the process of how television music was done in the 1960s, and for one of the most influential television programs ever made. So sue us if we wanted to include everything... 
I just like to relive the show. Listening to music that I've never heard will be jarring, and hearing the scoring in the clear isn't the way I remember it. What I would like is if, instead of music-only tracks, this set had video of the show itself, with the music playing at the appropriate moments, with dialogue and sound effects laid over it as they were used on the show. That would be a great way to enjoy this music as I have loved it all these years. If only!

(Assuming that isn't sarcasm), if you've already got the old GNP Star Trek sound effects CD, you will now have all the resources you need to create your own such music & effects tracks yourself.
The idea of a Trekkie/Trekker who isn't also a C&C completist is kind of hard for me to swallow, although "it takes all kinds," and we're all entitled to our opinions and all that.
It was supposed to be Star Wars devotees like Thor who prefer CDs that make "a pleasant listening experience," wasn't it? 
I'm as glad to have every note recorded for even potential use in Star Trek as I am to have every track recorded for "Ben Hur" and "Mutiny on the Bounty."

I wish there was a way where instead of that, we could somehow relive the images that we associate with the music so that the sound effects are in context. Maybe we could store it on some kind of medium, maybe the size of a CD. It would be digital. But it would also be video, all on that disc. Maybe we'll call it "DVD".

I thought it came out of the Royal Dansk Starfleet Insignia Butter Cookie gift tin . . .

I'd assume the "composer's intentions" would be preserved, or that an attempt would be made to present cues as they were heard when first recorded, instead of how they wound up sounding on-air after editing.

I'm really just going by what our favorite labels have been doing with other important historical releases which have been restored from the original recording sessions. The helicopter rescue cue in the Superman box, for example, is much longer on CD than what was heard in the edited film, right? It's because that's how the composer recorded it.

Here's my own post in this very thread, from about a month ago.

. . . I mean according to wiki (yes, it's not very reliable source) only 31 episode from 79 had original score and other music was tracked from other episodes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series#Music). Is it true, or we need correct this page?
Thirty-one complete scores is actually about right, if one acknowledges that an additional four episodes which also had original underscoring were "partial" scores -- in other words, mostly tracked from other episodes with only a little original music newly recorded for them. In his "Music of Star Trek" book, however, Jeff notes that even episodes with "complete" scores often had a tracked cue or two in them as well. I've indicated which could be considered partial scores below:
Pilots
The Cage (Courage)
Where No Man Has Gone Before (Courage)
First Season
The Man Trap (Courage)
Charlie X (Steiner)
The Naked Time (Courage)
Mudd’s Women (Steiner)

The Corbomite Maneuver (Steiner)
Balance Of Terror (Steiner)
What Are Little Girls Made Of? (Steiner)
