I'm just speechless! I received my confirm email from LLL.

(late fall 2012) Standing by to purchase

wink


I've signed up twice, once last evening and once this morning, and have yet to get a confirmation email. And I've looked in my spam box. I actually don't use a spam filter for that matter. So what's the deal?

I'm not in the target audience for this, but I often wonder how much time there is in preparation for such a release. Is it years in the making?

I signed on last night Dana, and got an immediate response. (??)

The complete scores to classic trek in one giant 15 CD BOX?

HELL YES!

I never thought this would ever happen but 15 CDS? I never thought it would take that much considering a lot of music was reused during the series ( That Amok Time fight music was used for practiclally every fight scene! )

BRING.IT.ON!

I am a happy camper. I grew up on this music. Along with Goldsmith at Fox, Herrmann at Fox and the Elmer Bernstein Collection, this will find a comfortable place on my shelf. Too bad Fred Steiner didn't live to see this.

I was convinced that the ST:TMP set was the release of the year, well, I was wrong! But what a year- a 3-disc TMP and now a 15-set TOS box. Thank goodness we are still getting physical releases, and that CD isn't dead just yet. Imagine if they were releasing the latter download only?

Well, 2013 cannot possibly match such a double-whammy as TNP and TOS. Others have noted how lucky we are right now. I'll just add this sobering observation - we are on the crest of the curve, folks, its all downhill from now on. Twenty years from now, we'll all be saying 2012 was the best year ever for soundtracks, the closure of the FSM label was the beginning of the end.


Or maybe, the end of the beginning!

The first time I signed in, there was no response. I tried again later on and got an immediate e-mail. So keep trying I guess.

That Amok Time fight music was used for practically every fight scene!

It's actually pretty interesting how they picked what scores to reuse and when, particularly in the second season when the scores becomes even more bold and recognizable. The Amok Time fight music, for example, was used primarily for "set up gladiatorial fights" in such episodes like Gamesters of Triskelion or Bread and Circuses. But for outdoor location fights (A Private Little War), the music from Friday's Child might be used. If there was a space chase of battle, The Doomsday Machine was hauled out.

Whether is was because of reuse or daily reruns of the episodes in syndication, or both, classic Trek music sticks in my brain and I never go long without humming something.

Out of all the scores, only I, Mudd falls flat for me. Yet, I am prepared to have my mind changed when I hear it on this amazing set. Oh my God, I really can't wait for this. I am also very much looking forward to the unused stuff and that cue in Space Seed that was used only once when Kirk is freeing Khan from the malfunctioning chamber. Sounds like Steiner and might be from Balance of Terror, considering the theme.

It must be great to be the guys who worked in this and who have heard it all.

I've just one burning question- for those of us outside the US (I'm in the UK) what will be the safest/best way to purchase the set? Direct from La La or from someone else such as SAE? Do any of them use courier/insured etc for such expensive packages? Customs charges be damned, I need to own this set after loving the show since I was a kid.

Not that you should have to, but you could contact a friend (or someone already buying the TREK Box) in the States and have them ship it to you, according to your needs.

Tried three times, using different email addresses... nothing yet, will try again. Thanks for the heads up. What an amazing release. Plus the promo for it was a lot of fun. smile

I am very happy for everyone who buys and wants this release. I own most of the existing 60s Star Trek releases and to tell you the truth I don`t listen to them very often.
I do listen on the other hand to the tapes DALLAS composer Richard Lewis Warren sent me of his DALLAS scores all the time. So if LLL would release a 15 CD set of DALLAS scores or of other 80s/90s scores like

- Falcon Crest
- Matlock
- Father Dowling Mysteries
- Knots Landing
- Scarecrow and Mrs. King

I would buy it in a heartbeat.

DALLAS... oh yes. Lucky dog. Richard Lewis Warren's music. Arghh. The show had some of the best music around (ever). I love the new series on TNT... but my only complaint... the music is okay, but no where near the power or class of the first DALLAS series. Jerrold Immel, Bruce Broughton, John Parker, Angela Morley, Richard Lewis Warren, Lance Rubin... amazing scores. One of the dvd seasons actually had a very interesting documentary in regards to the music. Mr. Immel and Mr. Broughton were both interviewed. Very interesting.

How many of you having problems have previously been on their mailing list? I was and had no issues getting an auto response. Still think there's a good chance its a spam issue. ISP's might be "holding" onto those auto responses if that many are attempting to go out at once. Is LLL on the "white list"?

Another show from that period with outstanding scores were Arthur Rubenstein's music for both "Bring Em' Back Alive" and "The Wizard." I remember attending a "Wizard" session at Fox in early '87 and just being blown away with the full, rich sounds Rubenstein got from a relatively small orchestra (no more than thirty players, perhaps as few as twenty-five). I think some people forget just how good those scores were (right up there with ST:TOS, Dallas, Quincy, 5-0 and Bonanza).

I gave up and sent them an E-Mail with my name and info. Although I've sent them several E-Mails recently concerning a faulty copy of Rio Lobo, with no reply, so maybe their E-Mail doesn't work consistently either.

I regularly get email from La-La Land and several other film music companies, and they never go into a spam file. My spam file is empty. If my ISP is holding something, that would be a first. I suspect that there is just simply a problem with the return email system LLL is using. Perhaps if we stop trying to think up other reasons for this, somebody over there will take a look at it and correct the problem.

Simply a dream come true.

I'm just a tad worried how they're going to pack it...

I hope, judging from the package art, that each disc is housed in a standard-sized jewel case. Dealing with scratches or other damage would be a big headache with this much content.
