I'd buy it if I liked the music. I don't, so I won't.

In 2010...
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who, when La-La Land announced the Paramount deal, thought, "Ohmigodstartrekexpandedscores!" 
Having said that, I was one of the posters who was sure that the big FSM Comic-Con release was going to be Gremlins. But we were proven wrong when, on one Monday morning, Lukas announced the complete TWOK score. It certainly made my day a little brighter and I recall writing something on the board to the effect of, "I had no idea they'd get access to the Nerd Holy Grail section of the Paramount vault so fast!"
I can't say TWOK was my #1 Star Trek holy grail (that would be III and V) but it's a splendid album, every part of it, from the artwork to the sound quality to the alternate Bob Peak posters. Even more than the final battle music, I was happy to finally have the "Kirk in Space Shuttle" cue.
I'm proud to own this album and I'm happy to know it was SAE's busiest day ever (from what we were told on the board). I'm sure the music exec at Paramount was pleased to hear that.

This is definately one of my favorite Star Trek scores, and one of my top scores period.
The movie is also up there, and the FSM release makes my old GNP CD a waste of shelf space.
However, the GNP album was still an excellent presentation of the score in terms of cue selection and sequencing.
Looking forward to the rumored Star Trek III release.

for me, it didn't add enough crucial material to merit an upgrade from my GNP
(no, i DONT need "Amazing grace" on bagpipes to feel fullfilled. LOL!).
really good score though
check it out!

I was in San Diego during Comic-Con last year and when I read the announcement on my iPod about Star Trek II, it was a no-brainer. As soon as the show opened, I made a bee-line to the Screen Archives booth and plunked down my money.
I'll be there for 2010 and I'm keeping my finger crossed that we get surprised once again.

Idiot? Cheapass? Fossil? Weasel? Those are pretty harsh words, and I am none of them.  I have said it before, but here goes again. No matter what I think of Horner as a composer, THIS is a great score. It's got to be my favorite of his, because I have so few, mostly earlier scores- say, up to about 1985- no, I'll be generous. Up to 1991.
And I do find myself listening to it a lot.

Been meaning to buy it and after being called an idiot I did.

"If you have not purchased the FSM cd, you're an idiot."
Thank you. I'm an idiot then. Hated the film, hated the score. Why would I purchase it?

I'm an idiot, yes sir-ee
I wanna live to see Star Trek III
plugged for sale by FSM & Shurley
'cause I'm an idiot
I'm no Trek hater, no sir-ee
I watched the original series
on UHF reruns on TV
'cause I'm a Doctor, Jim, not a fool!
I'm a Horner basher, yes sir-ee
I wanna live to be Horner-free
I play no Horner to be safe for you and me
'cause I'm no fool
I'm no C&C crowd, no sir-ee
2's company; crowd = 3
I play 35 minute albums for me
'cause I'm no crowd
I'm a fossil, yes sir-ee
I wanna keep every LP!
I'll play LPs for you and me
'cause I'm a fossil
I'm no cheapass weasel, no sir-ee
stores like SAE & Intrada have my money
I pay dearly for the music of Piccioni
'cause I'm no cheapass weasel…
Now how can we get this FINE lyric backed to music?

I own this soundtrack and am very pleased with it. However, that Spock monologue at the end was just a damper and a half. It should not have been there. I wanted the music and just the music! If I want to experience the aww inspiring fact that Leonard Nimoy gives the Star Trek monologue for the first time, I'll watch the movie where it should be. Sure it was on the previous soundtrack, but here was the perfect opportunity to do something different. Those who owned the previous soundtrack would have two different versions of the track while those who did not have the soundtrack wouldn't have missed a thing. And even if they did, they could still track down the old soundtrack. Even the soundtrack for Star Trek 2009 didn't have Leonard Nimoy's ending monologue, and that is pretty much his last contribution to Star Trek right there.
I respectfully disagree. While I'd love to have this cue without Spock's narration, the soundtrack for The Wrath Of Khan is supposed to be a definitive, final word on the presentation of the score on CD.
If we took out the narration, you and I might be very happy, but a lot of fans of both the original soundtrack and the movie are likely to ask what happened to the narration.
If I recall, there was something posted noting that they thought about removing it, but decided to keep it for consistency, and we effectively have a version of the Epilogue and End Credits without Nimoy's voice with track 23, the Alternate version.

I agree with One Buck. The last cue on the disc gives you a very nice alternate, and it sounds much better than what an instrumental cut of the final version would have.
It's the best of both worlds.
