If you're referring to disc one, track one then that performance take is not on the original album but rather the take used in the movie. Nothing is cut off on the CD either.

Let's not confuse the issue here. "The Mind-Meld", "Bird of Prey Decloaks", "The Katra Ritual" and "End Titles" were all on the original album and all match the film takes. They're the same on disc one and two.
The "Prologue and Main Title" tracks are different takes though and this sounds like what prompted the question.

I'm not really sure that this score needs more exposure. After the excellent ST II it was just another lazy Horner "sequel score". And the Prokofiev rip-off that constitutes the best music in the score was already on the original CD.

Sorry, but there is NO exceptional music in ST III. Other than the Prokofiev, i.e.

In my opinion, indeed.
ST III is to ST II what Cocoon II is to Cocoon.

Man was 2010 a good ass year. I believe this and the 2009 expanded came out right around the same time and it was fantastic! I listened to this last night and was reminded of the excitement. And now...3 years later we have all but 2 of the remaining film scores, and Im sure they are coming one of these days. Sometimes I just pull CDs off the shelf and remember the excitement.

Supe1701, remember the days when you (and I) longed to be spoiled Star Trek soundtrack collectors? It brings to mind the line in PLANET OF THE APES when Taylor (Charlton Heston) says to his dismayed fellow astronaut as they "trek" through the Forbidden Zone, "...you got what you wanted, Tiger. How does it taste?" Tastes delicious, thank you.
STAR TREK III surely isn't the main course of this particular feast, but you can't deny James Horner gave it every bit of effort he gave his other best scores. I'll never jump on the diss-Horner bandwagon. He gave us great stuff when some extra material filled a nice gap in the orchestral score scene.
If I can't be spoiled in any other area of life, I'll take this cherry with no complaints.

Wow, we're already looking back on the "glory days"? But why not? Never again will we say "This is when we got it ALL."
Star Trek II and III are (to quote another movie from the summer of 1984) "Same but different." They're so close and so far apart. I can't think of another movie series where two scores were such perfect companions for each other. Not even Star Wars. (Someone will now produce something by Rosa or North from the 1950's that's better, I'm sure.)
II does II perfectly. And III does III perfectly. II does the high seas adventure to the bloody hilt. III gets the emotional core of Star Trek as precisely as anything since Amok Time. It's all so so wonderful. And I'm so glad to have all of it.

Oh man, this was the score I've wanted for decades and it certainly was the main course for me. It is my all time favorite Horner score and a beautiful piece of work.
Both scores are top class and I often play them back to back. Like the films themselves, the first 3 Star Trek movies had me flying high, it's a period in Star Trek history I'll never get back: the return of my heroes in fun, adult adventures, played by the same actors who created the roles, before comedy and age robbed them of relevance.

Well the good days arent over but we've surely had some great ones previously! I mean for me this came during a time before I was as active here on the boards (browsed through since 2007) , and this came out of no where for me.

IIRC ST II came out of nowhere for everyone. III was hoped for but by no means a done deal. Then by the time V came out it was a question of WHEN not IF for IV, VI, and finally TMP.
And the TOS box is still too insane to hope for. I have it and I'm not entirely convinced it exists.
