I feel like 10,000 is a misprint and it was supposed to be 1,000.
Most are releases generally are 1,000 and since WRATH OF KHAN already had a good-quality expanded release, they're probably assuming most of the people who bought that one are happy with that one and will be waffling. With the recent THE MATRIX and even SLEEPY HOLLOW, a good amount of people said "nah, I'm good" so while the film and soundtrack is popular, I wouldn't be surprised if they're not expecting TONS and TONS of demand.
Blah, blah, blah.
All wrong!
Oh, right. Yes, of course.
Now I uh, remember.
In the interview with Intrada... ...they were saying William Shatner personally approved uh, 10,000 copies because he wants to keep 9,000 of them to himself - uh, in honor of the uh, duration in milliseconds the "Khaaaaaan" yell went for, including the reverb placed on it.
Yeah, that was it.

I edited my original reply because I suspected it would hurt your feelings, but too late.
Sorry for that.

No, it's ok I was having fun coming up with a joke scenario as a reply. BUT it sounds like this is actually true?
DARTHBRETT is saying Star Trek: The Motion Picture had 10,000 copies which sounds pretty high to me but I guess it's possible. That's really impressive! I was kind of sad thinking there are only 1,000 film score fans in the world but 10,000?!?! That's a much less lonely number!
Also, I always liked your Arnold gif - nothing like Arnold chomping down on carrots to lighten the mood.

Ref: Comments about the numbers.
It's worth remembering that 10,000 is the upper limit on how many copies LLL can press and sell. It does not mean LLL is obliged to press and sell 10,000 copies.
I suspect they'll do the usual thing of pressing so many copies and ordering more as sales demand.
Ref: Why buy it again?
Well, I must admit I was surprised given how good the Retrograde CD was. However, as people have said, that CD was from mixed 2nd generation analog tapes rather than unmixed 1st generation digital tapes.
My guess is the producers care about this score so much that if there's an opportunity to do it again from 1st generation tapes to get the best sound possible, they want to take that opportunity.
Personally, so do I.
That's what I love about film score labels run by film score fans—that they do that rather than say, "Well, we've already done it and it was okay so why bother improving it?"
This is something to love, not knock.
Cheers

Agreed.
Also, these things go out of print. Labels re-release the scores because not everyone has been collecting film music CDs for decades and has everything. STAR TREK II is an excellent score, so if it is out of print, it's good to see this re-released. Sure, they could just do a straight re-release, but if LaLaLand re-releases it now, they do some remastering (perhaps new tapes have been found, etc), include some alternates (there aren't supposed to be a lot apart from some off-key bagpipe tracks etc., but some fans want it all), perhaps include the original album (even though I'd say that's superfluous, as that album contained no "album edits" but just selected cues IIRC. That way, the release appeals to both those who do not yet have STAR TREK II and those who are ready to buy it again.

Whereas my heart breaks because having got the vinyl LP back in the day, and then the last nice release on cd, I sort of wish I'd missed that last release so I could justify yet another dip, but I just can't. Got to draw the line somewhere, and as much as I love this score...
Of course if I could just walk to my local store and pick it up I think I'd be very tempted...... Very pleased for everyone that IS making the extra effort though. It does deserve that kind of thanks for being made available.

The suspense is killing me.
I figure in the last 38 years I have spent on this score:
1982 LP - $9
1991 CD - $15
2009 CD - $20
------------------
$44
I spent that much on gasoline last week.
If it sounds better, if there's more material, or both? I'll take it.
