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?



In order to fit everything into stand-alone 2-CD sets, I suppose they had to de-prioritize consistency across sets. Each volume does what it has to do to deliver the goods.

The way my quick and dirty addition came out, all of the George Duning scores would come to something around 161 minutes. That's a little more than they can fit in a 2-CD volume. (And needless to say, I have to play some now. smile)

Actually, I think you could get most of the Duning cues on to two disks if you didn't include the different versions of the Patterns of Force march (which is just French horns and drums) and trimmed 16-17 minutes from the long, repetitive And the Children Shall Lead score, including such cues as "Triacus" (effectively, memorably tracked into the Let That Be Your Last Battlefield opening teaser) leaving complete presentations of Is There in Truth No Beauty? and The Empath for a second disk. But, yes, a very satisfying 2 CD set could be made of Duning's great TOS scores.

My "two cents:"

Disk One

Metamorphosis (30:36)
Return to Tomorrow (18:09)
Patterns of Force (two full versions of march theme, ca. 3:00)
And the Children Shall Lead (excerpts, ca, 20 min of 37 min score)

Disk Two

Star Trek S3 MT (Courage, cond. Hatch, 1:01)
The Empath (32:24)
Is There in Truth No Beauty? (36:39)
Star Trek S3 ET (Courage, cond. Hatch, :41)

Except that would defeat the purpose of re-releasing all of the TOS TV series music LLL has the rights to. And that would make a lot of people who weren't able to get the box set unhappy (someone's favorite is gonna get dropped). Bad enough GNP retains the rights to episodes and they can't do a reissue of all of it.

The sequencing of the scores may not be ideal for some folks, but at least they've coming back out.

All I can say is that if LLL released a Duning collection with my suggested sequencing I'd buy it in a heartbeat as you'd still have complete presentations of Metamorphosis, Return, The Empath and In Truth, which would be the scores I would think most people here would want in complete form.

Getting back to Vol. 3, there's a lot of Steiner gold on it:

WHO MOURNS FOR ADONAIS?
MIRROR, MIRROR
BY ANY OTHER NAME
THE OMEGA GLORY
ELAAN OF TROYIUS
SPOCK’S BRAIN

It's not hard to pick out my favorites: Who Mourns, Elaan of Troyius, and Spock's Brain are all tremendous. I used to wish so much that Steiner had done a third Royal Philharmonic album and covered these three. And here they are.

Received in the mail yesterday, played last night. Fred's scores were so well recorded in that small Desilu studio one can hear each individual element in the orchestration (change in recording quality between S1 and S3 is also most notable). A most welcomed release (and this from someone who has one of the box sets of scores). Can't wait for the George Duning volume. Thanks LLL!

It would be nice (although I gather unlikely) if GNP would expand / remaster / re-release / goodify their The Cage / Where No Man Has Gone Before and Amok Time / The Doomsday Machine discs. Or work something out that would be profitable to all. Whatever.

Can't wait for the George Duning volume.

We are going to wait even longer for the later volumes to receive any George Duning (and Samuel Matlovsky).

Appears we get on Volume 4 both Jerry Fielding's scores, "The Paradise Syndrome" by Fried, the episodes and library cues provided by Courage for the 3rd season ... plus the 'fake' Brahms piano from "Requiem for Methuselah".

Let us know if this all correct or missing anything ...

Why didntcha just buy the Box?? I'll tell you why...


I did get the 15-CD box set.

So far, I haven't yet purchased these '1701' volumes; I'm just curious who decides which episodes get selected for which installments. Bond, Bulk, Goldwasser, Kendall, Malone or Schwartz?

A lot of the decisions are fairly obvious, and we've made them together.

Just purchased Vol1&2 will get Vol3 as it is dedicated to Fred Steiner and Vol4 will make up with 3rd CD to make postage more worthwhile but no more to avoid UK customs roulette

Interesting to see Ditmars credited on the cover. But he also was credited back then along with Fred Steiner.

La-La Land Records and CBS Studios proudly present STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES – THE 1701 COLLECTION VOL. 4, the fourth in a series of limited edition CD releases that showcase original scores from the landmark sci-fi television series STAR TREK (1966-1969). Containing music originally from our long out-of-print 2012 Original Series Box Set, these exciting volumes utilize the same restored master as that acclaimed release, but feature new packaging by Dan Goldwasser, along with brand new, exclusive liner notes by film music writer and Trek historian, Jeff Bond. This groundbreaking, iconic music, from one of television’s most acclaimed and beloved series, is now again available for fans everywhere!

Vol. 4 of the 1701 Collection focuses on the third-season Trek TOS music of renowned composers Jerry Fielding, Gerald Fried, Alexander Courage and Ivan Ditmars, with the “Star Trek Theme” by Alexander Courage, and contains original music from the classic episodes SPECTRE OF THE GUN, THE PARADISE SYNDROME, REQUIEUM FOR METHUSELAH, THE ENTERPRISE INCIDENT, PLATO’S STEPCHILDREN, WHOM GODS DESTROY, and THE WAY TO EDEN along with third season MAIN and END TITLES. Produced by Lukas Kendall, Neil S. Bulk and Jeff Bond, restored by Chris Malone and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this limited edition 2-CD release of 1701 units, as well as forthcoming volumes of this series, illustrate how the original Trek series scores not only teem with action, adventure and drama, but how they are infused with deep emotion and the greatness of the human spirit. Such characteristics have kept these richly orchestrated tracks vital and relevant decades beyond their original recording.

So glad that the 1701 collection is being issued, as I couldn't afford the box set. But even one two disc set of TOS music every couple of months has been stretching my budget. Cost of living and all that. Today's TV and film scoring just can't hold a candle to the wonders they had to get out quickly for TOS and the music editors did such a great job of reusing the music through the series, that it maintained a cohesive character and has entered the public psyche. At least to nutjobs like us!

I do wonder about the library music based on the GNP-controlled scores, which have been omitted from these sets in addition to the scores themselves. Makes me rather curious about the legal details behind that. Aren’t the library pieces technically separate series of recordings?

I also hope the Ron Jones TNG scores will get similar ”1701 edition” re-releases down the line. ’The Best of Both Worlds’ would obviously get omitted like last time, but the rest should fit comfortably on 7 double-CD volumes (maybe even 6 if the video game scores are omitted, and the alternates spread around as space filler on other CDs, but I dunno)

"The Best of Both Worlds" was not omitted -- the cues controlled by GNP were, but the unreleased cues were on the Jones box.

"The Best of Both Worlds" was not omitted -- the cues controlled by GNP were, but the unreleased cues were on the Jones box.

And then of course GNP released their own update of that original album, with the complete score.
