Just to let you guys know we are getting your requests and the server is sending them out as quickly as they can. The response has been overwhelming. We are very excited about this massive endeavor. If you do not receive an email confirmation just email us at:
The cost will be $200.00 to $225.00...the final price to be determined in the coming months.
We are aiming for a late November release date
This will be a limited edition, but we do not know yet how many we will be pressing up. You guys will determine that in the coming months, but judging from the initial response I am guessing at least 3000 to 5000 units.
1. Why is a klingon going through some trekkie's collection in the dark? You can tell it's a klingon as evidenced by the constantly shaking Tribble. Tribbles don't shake like that unless they're around a Klingon!
2. How come of all the people who are interviewed, Neil is the only one who doesn't look anywhere towards the camera? Could it be that I made such an impression on him at Comic Con that he no longer has the courage to look at me face to face? :O
3. The package artwork is very inaccurate. In TOS, the stars had color!
Signed up, too. Can hardly wait for November. If CBS participated in this, I wonder if they'd also participate in a CD or multi-CD collection of Wild Wild West? That's another of my holy grails ... I loved the Enterprise model in the video. How the heck did you get the nacelles to have the glowing, rotating lights??
Is Uhura singing in the "Changeling" going to be on this set?
Let me venture a guess and say probably not. The song she is singing there is "Beyond Antares," sort of Nichelle Nichols' jazzy variation on the tune, really, and from watching the scene you can tell that it was recorded on set. It is unlikely her performance of the song in that episode was recorded in its entirety, and in fact it does also get a little chopped up in the editing of the scene.
Her original performance of "Beyond Antares" (accompanied by Vulcan Lute) in the "Conscience of the King" episode, however, sounds like it was studio-recorded, and she appears to be lip-synching to the pre-recording for her onscreen performance.
In other words, we WILL very likely get to hear the song Uhura sang in "The Changeling," just not the "Changeling" performance of it.
. . . This is all just my best guess, of course. Can't wait to see the track list for this monster!
I've never heard any Star Trek OST music outside of the main titles, so I had always assumed that everything was a bit "space loungey" like the main titles. The three or four other tracks in the video sounded very adventurous and dynamic. The price for this 15-disc collection is amazing (last 16-disc set I bought was $500) and if the samples of the finished product give me a lot of the same vibe I'm getting from the video, I may spring quite a bit of money for this guy. Either way, congratulations to LLL on this major release.
Great price as at $200, 15 discs that comes to like $13.33 a disc, that's almost $7.00 less then the typical $19.95 for these limited editions so yah good deal if ya ask me

I'd just like to chime in for anyone unfamiliar with the scores for Star Trek:TOS. They are brilliant, rich, varied, memorable, stirring and above all, fun. Forget the fact that they were written nearly 50 years ago - this is music that is emphatically, unabashedly young at heart. It's inspired, serious feature quality scoring that you'll be humming weeks afterward.
By all accounts, Roddenberry specified all this in his original concept for the show. He didn't want the music to sound like science fiction music. He wanted swashbuckling adventure and romance!
The result is, instead of an outdated idea of what the future would sound like, we got something refreshingly timeless.
(listening to the original Spectre of the Gun, for example, you really notice how close it is to The Wild Bunch--the tempi are vastly different on the rerecording and the score is really played much more slowly than it is in the episode).
drooling! I just can't wait so long to order this baby box!!!
And being released just in time for the December 22nd end of the world Mayan apocalypse.....crank up THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE countdown music at midnight the 21st.
