Thanks for the confirmation on the ST:TNG box! It is nice to know beforehand for a change so I can set the money aside for it. Anxiously awaiting its release!

Wow! The TNG box, at $149.95, comes out to $10.71 per disc. That's one hell of a good deal. Considering the fees and all the work you put into it, that's fricking cheap. Thank you for what will be an amazing release.
Damn, I'm glad I didn't get around to spending that money on Spartacus. ;-)

I've read this half a dozen times now - and it is possible to interpret that "The Best Of Both Worlds" is not included in its entirety - presumably because the licence still being held by GNP/Crescendo.
This would be incredibly disappointing for 2 reasons:
1. It's the piece de resistance of Jones' TNG output. The centrepiece of his work. Any set would be dramatically incomplete without it.
2. GNP's original CD is flawed with several digital pops. I was incredibly excited about getting a newly minted disc!
Please say it isn't so!!
I'm right there with you and I hope Lukas's wording means otherwise. I'd find it strange if he somehow had the right to license unreleased music from an episode GNP has perpetuity rights to (ie. it doesn't work that way for films, for example only Varese can put out unreleased music from Robocops 2 and 3; Intrada presumably can't put out a disc of just the unreleased music because Varese has the licenses for any music for the films).
What I do know is that if The Best of Both Worlds *isn't* complete and remastered on the set, it won't be through Lukas's lack of trying. He just told us it was his "dream project" and I'm sure he's aware it's the piece de resistance of Jones's TNG output. The fact that Lukas also went above and beyond to include the two Interplay scores for Starfleet Academy and Starfleet Command (I'm sure that was additional licensing trickiness, especially since that official release of Starfleet Academy was aborted after printing by Christopher Franke's Sonic Images label) shows how definitive he wants this to be (those are really good scores, by the way).
Incidentally, I wonder how Heart of Glory is affected -- Lukas didn't single it out (ie. "unreleased cues from") yet GNP put out a two-track suite on The Best of Star Trek, Vol. 1.
Personally I couldn't be more excited for this set even if BoBW isn't included, and it helpfully comes out right around my birthday (thanks for that, Lukas).

EDIT: P.S. I just checked IMDb and Ron Jones did 42 TNG episodes, including the two-part Best of Both Worlds, so it looks like it isn't included since Lukas specified 40 complete episode scores.

We could only use 5 minutes of "Best of Both Worlds" due to the existing GNP Crescendo CD. Sorry but there was nothing I could do. We grabbed the best 5 min. of unreleased cues, like the Borg approaching Saturn. (We do have Heart of Glory in its entirety.)

re: TNG - If this is going to turn into a mope session that we could not include the two scores you already have, rather than giving you the 40 you did not, then I quit. I honestly don't want to hear it. There was nothing I could do.

but GNP's was released so long ago and you guys do such stellar remastering Not moaning, Lukas. Just thought a sonic improvement could benefit the score since so many new audio tools have appeared since the original CD.

Lukas,
Shame about TBOBW, but DAMN, this looks like one HELL of a set !!!
I for one feel that I may be getting a LOT poorer.
This is giving me something to seriously ponder

And it would be wonderful if Lukas can share the entire 40 episode list
The IMDB can tell you that quite quickly.
