... and Journey to the Center of the Earth!
Lou Scheimer must be turning over in his grave with his legacy so squandered. This ranks among such tragedies as Metromedia's erasing of Paul Winchell's "Winchell-Mahoney Time" tapes out of spite over a law suit and thus wiping his legacy out of existence.

..Lou Scheimer must be turning over in his grave with his legacy so squandered.
Umm, Lou is still alive actually.
I stand corrected. In the late '80s or early '90s I spoke to him once on the phone. He was interested in licensing a property I had the rights to. Seemed like a very nice, humble man with great integrity. I'm not sure how I got it in my mind that he had passed on, but glad to hear I was wrong.

Well five years later I think I can give you source of the original quote if anyone is still intersted in it's veracity. That was from DVD producer Andy Mangels who was working on the Filmation DVD series and was looking for all the additional materials he could get to add as DVD extras. He would have added music-only tracks and really whatever he could lay his hands on as extras but sadly those value-added items were no longer in existence.
Ordinarily I wouldn't "out" the source even five years later but he posted that message under his name with all names intact on the AVmaniacs site - and contemporaneous with my original post so I'm not sure why he asked for the discretion on my part.
Anyway, the whole story has been available without the names X'd out over at AVmaniacs (dot) com for years.
Ethically some might say I am still bound by my promise of discretion. And in truth, I think I still am. But all the information was available (from Andy) if you did a search for it anyway.
I hope Hallmark doesn't send people to break our legs.

This really makes me sad... As Ed just mentioned, it seemed like it was the same 3 or 4 cues showing up in every episode I saw recently. Very repetitive but the music was terrific, just the same. Perhaps someone will be bold enough to reconstruct this music and do new recordings some day.
I agree; a one-disc re-recording, if were done with the same instruments and tender loving care, would be nice item for vintage Trekkers like myself. Or the Ray Ellis estate might have his personal copies, much like Joe Harnell's TV score tapes that turned out so well on CD.
It's unfortunate that the tapes were destroyed by barbarians. It wasn't the Library of Alexandria, but it meant something to us.
