Does La La Land accept Paypal?

Yes, you can use the option in their checkout, I've done so many times.


Thanks Francis. I felt like I had paid before by Paypal.

I usually order through SAE and save on California taxes, but sometimes they up the price a tad and then it all sort of evens out in the end.

What Saul said!

By all accounts, Roddenberry specified all this in his original concept for the show. He didn't want the music to sound like science fiction music. He wanted swashbuckling adventure and romance!

The result is, instead of an outdated idea of what the future would sound like, we got something refreshingly timeless.

--And a box set for the ages!


He was right.

@Jeff Bond:
Is it possible to include reel and cue numbers (1M1 etc.) in the liner notes? And if not, maybe somewhere else like here?

Simply a dream come true.

I'm just a tad worried how they're going to pack it...

I hope, judging from the package art, that each disc is housed in a standard-sized jewel case. Dealing with scratches or other damage would be a big headache with this much content.


Probably 4 quad cases.

I'm guessing it will have the replacement cues used for the VHS edition of "The City on the Edge of Forever"?

Ooh! That's a good question.

They're awful, of course, but if the re-recording of the Main Title theme from the DVDs is included, well . . .

I've just one burning question- for those of us outside the US (I'm in the UK) what will be the safest/best way to purchase the set? Direct from La La or from someone else such as SAE? Do any of them use courier/insured etc for such expensive packages? Customs charges be damned, I need to own this set after loving the show since I was a kid.

I live in the UK too, and I'm going to order this set from Screen Archives, and pay an extra $15 for registered post. I'm happy to pay the extra to save me from worrying about such an expensive set getting lost in transit.

One of the burning questions I'd like to see answered in Jeff's new "booklet" is about the second season arrangement of the Main Title (made to accommodate expanded titles length) and if Courage actually returned to Desilu to conduct the session. Though it is documented that Courage had no involvement with the second season music (probably because of the Roddenberry theme lyric debacle), the Fred Steiner article featured in "Wonderful Inventions" includes a few pages from the new arrangement, and in Courage's "hand."

Double Check: Yep. On "Inventions" page 296 the first photocopied page of the score carries with it the superscription "Main Title (Revised)" with 67-8 added in magic marker. Look closely at the upper right hand corner of this page and you can just make out the autograph, A. Courage BMI.

I actually forgot about "Goodnight Sweetheart"! But the cues that replaced the scenes when Edith tripped on the stairs and when she was killed were pretty bad. In Phil Farrand's Nitpickers guide he speaks of those newer cues as sounding like something from an old time radio show fitting in well for the 1930s but distractingly awful.

Yes, Courage did conduct a session of the theme and library music (some newly composed Courage material, some re-recorded first-season cues by Courage, Steiner, Fried) in spring 1967 for the 2nd season.

No, we are NOT including the ghastly replacement music from City of on the Edge of Forever's early video release, before they cleared up their synch license for "Goodnight, Sweetheart."
Incidentally would you believe these low-budget redos were by...J. Peter Robinson? They were!

I'm just pleased they didn't try to lumber us with Star Trek equivalents of fall-apart zoetropes and mp3 USB drives with Mr. Spock's head on them, adding an extra couple of hundred to the cost.

To tell the truth a USB drive with the contents of all the 15 discs would be extremely useful and appreciated.
Regardless of a Mr. Spock's head or Federation icon shape, it shouldn't raise the price that much.

It would save us the trouble of ripping 15 discs, I suppose, but personally I'd rather (if they were to include a flash drive) they forget about CD quality and include 24-bit/96kHz versions. That'd be a real treat, rather than just saving me 35 or 40 minutes or ripping time.

Audience reception to the news was quite enthusiastic--we were in a very large room, maybe about a fifth or a quarter full. That might not sound like much but in my conversations with people at the convention it was very unclear whether there would be anyone there interested in the music release at all. But we did get applause immediately when the video presentation put the box set title onscreen and applause afterwards--the people who were there were very excited and it was great to see. And it seems like the set announcement has generated a lot of enthusiasm on message boards (even on youtube!) and LLL is very happy with the "pre-preorder" response so far.
