If a spin is designed purposefully to create an image when all CD's are put together, it's not "nit-picky" to point out when it's wrong. If anything, the pointing out of the over sight can help fix it when another series of booklets are made.

Now if I was getting these releases and they were all placed beside each other, not only would they stand out more than the others, but the flaw in its design would stick out like a sore thumb.
Nice photo, Jeyl. Thanks! It seems like you have a lot of LLL CDs. I respect that. And arranged in catalog number order— that's hardcore! Your overall CD collection must be even more amazing.

Given that I will probably get all of these releases, I can fix the spines in Photoshop so they line up.

Nice collection indeed but I have to do mine alphabetically or I'll never find anything!
I wonder what kind of magic keeps the top row from falling over, a force field perhaps?
The CDs at each end are probably sitting on thin metal bookends, the L-shaped kind you can barely see.

I just noticed that the back of Volume 1 says "Performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony."
I like the sound of that, but I never heard of it in my 50 years of craving and collecting TOS music. Is that a new name for Desilu's once-nameless virtuosos?
Another thing: the outer package does not say "Original Soundtrack," which of course it is. I'm guessing there was great confidence that everyone buying it would know, preferably from LLL's own website.
I mention it because phrases like "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" were traditionally considered an important selling point on the cover. And when you add in the name of a symphony orchestra, only the more so.
I recently bought a CD of horror movie themes for one dollar at a thrift shop, and "The London Studio Orchestra" (or something like that) turned out to sound very much like one guy playing a consumer-grade synthesizer from days gone by. Remember when the big record stores would let you sample a CD with headphones before buying it? That's why. 
Hey, ZB.
Hollywood Studio Symphony is simply the name for projects scored with Local 47 musicians of the AFM, apparently, for film/TV projects that go back some years (likely some kind of re-use contract condition agreed to by the recording industry twenty years or so ago). Interestingly, "Star Trek" was scored with a neat combination of Hollywood session players and members of the LA Phil. For instance, the second season version of the theme (Courage's arrangement recorded in June 1967) features three trumpet players: Bob DiVall (then, principal trumpet of the LA Phil), John M. Clyman (first trumpet of the Fox orchestra from ca. 1950-1970, and, himself, one time LA Phil principal trumpet) and Anthony Terran, who was former lead trumpet of the Dezi Arnaz "Lucy" orchestra, who by the mid-seventies became one of the top "calls" for motion pictures (though he was a very busy session player for TV series and on popular recordings in the mid-sixties), especially for John Barry projects recorded in the States throughout the seventies (including the solo part in the TV adaptation of "The Corn Is Green."). Similarly, of the three hornists on the opening fanfare (again, on that season's recording), two were former studio principals (James Decker, Columbia Pictures, John "Jack" Cave, MGM), one, at that time, LA Phil principal (Sinclair Lott).
Hope this helps.

I thought SHORE LEAVE was still under license with another label so surprised to see this on the Vol. 2 set. Is there hope for The Doomsday Machine then?
Shore Leave and The Naked Time were the exceptions. The pilots, Amok Time and The Doomsday Machine won't be included. Unless something happens, I guess.

I like how "An understandable oversight" can be interpreted as "picayune and nit-picky", especially the part where spines are no big deal. Sure, I get that. So long as the music is handled right, it's easy to overlook.
However, I wouldn't put down the importance of spines. When I store my CDs on the shelf, guess which part of the product is always visible? Is it:
A. The Front Cover
B. The Back Cover
C. The Spine
D. The Aft Nacelle
Answer?
Now if I was getting these releases and they were all placed beside each other, not only would they stand out more than the others, but the flaw in its design would stick out like a sore thumb.
OMG, dear soundtrack collectors,
I`m collecting soundtracks since 40 years. And I`m collecting CDs as long as we got them.
I NEVER was angry about the differences between the spines.
Sometimes I wasn`t satisfied with the music, sometimes I wasn`t really happy with the artwork.
But at the end of the day, the only thing was and is: Do I enjoy the music? Mostly I enjoyed the music. Otherwise I sold the LP or CD. That`s it.
Enjoy the music. I own the box set. And I enjoy this wonderful music from the days I was a kid....a lot!!!!

After they mentioned each subsequent volume was releasing on a bi-monthly basis, I already plugged in the dates for the first Tuesday of every other month into my calendar. LOL I missed out on the boxed set. I'm eager to own this one.

This sequence of re-issues is inconsistent.
Volume 1 and the 1st disc of volume 2 are organized by season.
With the 2nd disc of volume 2, the impression is that the entire 2nd season music is next.
With this 3rd volume, though, the 2nd disc is bringing forth 3rd season scores ahead of the remaining scores from season 2.
Does this mean all future volumes will be grouped by composers and not seasons?
Will there be one volume devoted to all of George Duning's music on 2 CDs?
