So their original mega box set was 15 CDs, including definitive remastered/expanded editions of the GNP-controlled TOS scores (only "The Cage", "Where No Man Has Gone Before", "The Doomsday Machine", and "Amok Time" -- apparently they didn't get perpetuity rights on their Vol. 3 "Shore Leave" and "The Naked Time"). To me it looks like they've done pretty amazing job re-arranging and condensing all the non-GNP stuff into 12 CDs rather than 13. (I realize they are leaving out some songs and such, which will remain exclusive to the big box set.)
Maybe if LLL worked out a deal with GNP, there can be a seventh volume after all containing the definitive versions of those four iconic scores. Perhaps if they were to price such a final 2CD set at $40 rather than $32 that additional $8 per unit would be enough to cover the additional expense of sub-licensing from GNP.

I think so. The original GNP albums were only 43 minutes (Volume 1/the two pilots) and 52.5 minutes (Volume 2/Doomsday Machine & Amok Time) respectively. Even expanded presentations of all four scores (plus library music based on them, maybe?) should be able to fit on two packed CDs.

So if this was the last planned volume, any chance for more TNG-era?

Whatever La-La decides to do I'll be there to purchase the releases if they happen. Any "Star Trek" music deserves to be in print!

Personally I hope for more DS9/Voyager music. Yes I know what’s been said in the past but…here’s hoping.

I hope too for more DS9, but I prefer TV-shows from which nearly nothing had been released until now ("It Takes A Thief", "Ironside", "Columbo", "The Rockford Files", "Magnum, p.i.", "The Fall Guy", "The A-Team" & "Airwolf" for example).

Oh well. I thought it might be too good to be true. Collection complete for now. Hopefully the door is open for either licensing from GNP or for GNP to reissue those scores themselves with the new masters.
If you have the new LLL volumes and you are completing them with the old GNP CDs, you are in fantastic shape.
All GNP Vol. 1 really needs is "Monster Illusion" added to "The Cage," and then Kirk's big fistfight with Mitchell added to WNMHGB ("Hurry, you haven't much time"). That's two cues, which you could record as DVD sound clips, or consult with friends about.
"Amok Time" and "The Doomsday Machine" are wholly satisfying as is on GNP Vol. 2.
And that's it. The GNP CDs can still be found, or you can buy downloads on the "iTunes for Windows" app. I think they're worth it if you missed the big box.
