Bought this back when it came out. Got stung by customs and the cases were broken, but I was so esctatic just to have all the music, I didn't care. La La Lands finest hour, for me. It just doesn't get better than this set

Some of the tracking edits you really wouldn't want to reproduce--"Balance of Terror" is all but unlistenable in the way all the attack sequence cues are edited.

Tell me about it. Years ago I did that one myself and it was such a challenge that ended up being very frustrating in the end. You are right. It is VERY unlistenable.

You can definitely tell the difference between a tracked score that Robert Raff did and one that Jim Henrikson did. Henrikson was a much smoother music editor, that's for sure.

Me too. I was one of those that "showed interest" in the release when they did their survey. But at that particular time I lost my well paying job, was out of work for a long time and never fully recovered. So I just couldn't financially justify the purchase. I missed this and the LIS set. Sucks, but that's life.

I had a chance at this a couple times on the secondhand market and just couldn't make it work. I'm confident there will be a chance at it someday down the road.

Doesn't Apple have this on their store?

All but two of the 15 TOS albums are available for download purchase, if I recall. It's at the iTunes store, Amazon downloads, and apparently you can hear it on Spotify. Similar situation with the Lost in Space box. But it's better with the booklets you get in the actual box sets.

I just came upon an interview with Arthur Heinemann, who wrote the Space Hippies script, in Starlog #147 (Oct 1989):

"I enjoyed the episode, too, because I wrote the lyrics for some of the songs that the hippies sang. As a matter of fact, I get a royalty check from EMI about once a year for $3.47."

That's kind of amusing. Sadly, it says he died two weeks after giving the interview.

ORDERED! (I feel faint....)

Ten years ago today!

Wow. There been a lot going on, hasn't there?

According to Last.FM both Alexander Courage and Fred Steiner both made my top 10 most played artists this past year. So apparently I'm still listening to this.

It's also one of three music sets I have on display. (Arista Star Wars and The Blue Box are the others.)

Happy anniversary!

I received mine on 12-12-12 so I have another eight days before my 10 year celebration. smile

Once upon a time most of this set was available on Spotify / Amazon Music / etc. excepting the albums that were already published by GNP (The Cage / Where No Man Has Gone Before, Amok Time / Doomsday Machine, and so on.) All the GNP albums are still around.

What magic allowed this to happen and what would have to happen for it to happen again? I only ask because it's a little sad to me that this music is only available on an expensive and now sold out (yay!) box set.

So I'm listening to one disc per day. Day Three: Fred Steiner Day! Charlie X, Mudd's Women, Corbomite Maneuver, Balance of Terror, and What are Little Girls Made Of.

This is my favorite disc.

I still have my copy unopened, sitting in a box with a lot of my other CDs. They will probably stay there until I move. Strange thing is, I'm finding titles I have no knowledge of buying. I recently came across a copy of Cahill: U.S. Marshall I can't remember purchasing.

A used copy of the box set is asking $1349.99 on eBay. It won't necessarily sell for that much, but still:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/304845029062

I'm glad I bought it on day one in 2012, along with a bunch of us here. I've been listening to it on and off all night, on a work from home shift. I don't really care about the scarcity and dollar value of this thing; it's the music itself. That's what's great about it. I wish it was more available, not less.

Incidentally:

Earlier in this thread, it was said that "Friday's Child" has a track with print-through, a faint echo in the tape due to its age. It's "Coochy Coo/Godfathers" (S2 D1 T33). I don't hear it. Can anybody else hear a print-through tape echo?

I'm just hearing such good sound throughout the box (especially having replaced the library cues with upgrades from the 50th Anniversary set). So good.

I keep meaning to do that - just for some reason it seems a daunting task.

Oy vey. When I had my house fire, this is one box I was panicking over because I knew I'd never be able to replace it for a fair price. But, thankfully, the discs sustained no damage and not only was I able to replace the cases, La La Land sent me a new box for it. So it's on the shelf just like the day I first unwrapped it. The only box they couldn't replace (and they generously sent me a 4 spare boxes for my other sets gratis) was for the Lost in Space release. But the discs are fine as are the inserts.

Before I got around to playing the whole set, I learned that the 15CD set I had invested well over $200 in contained inferior-sounding library cues and that if I wanted a single CD of those same library cues in better quality, I'd have to pay another $50+ to get it.

Attaboy! That’ll show those money-grubbing folks at La-La Land!

Ignorance is bliss.

Got an email from them a couple of days ago...
Prices slashed on Volume 1 and Volume 4 of Goldsmith's Fox sets.
Horner's Glory at almost half-price too.
And Williams' Saving Private Ryan marked down to $10.
Looks like Alex North isn't the only one whose music doesn't sell fast enough.
