I have the GNP CD's and they are very nice. Just the collector in me would've liked to have all the box set music in this release. But we knew up front that wasn't going to happen. So we knew the deal going in. The error in copy just gave us a little hope.

Hopefully they’ll end up doing similar 1701 editions of the Ron Jones TNG scores, for those who missed the box.

I’m the kind of fool who is collecting these even though I already own the box set.
For some reason, Star Trek on Compact Disc has always been somehow special to me, probably because the format took off when I was first getting into TOS, and many of my first CDs were Trek. So I really would like to see this new format of release completed, even in. A supplementary way by GNP.

GNP really does need to dust off their titles and give them an upgrade. Their Pilot CD never was acceptable sonically.

Im doing exactly the same, even though I also digitized my copy of the box set.

Hey, Jeff Bond greatly expanded his liner notes for these. As he’s the foremost expert on Star Trek music in the world, I’d say that’s more than enough justification to buy these even if you have the big box set.

Bond's notes are always a valid reason to purchase and hold on to scores that have had several album releases. I have the original 15 CD TOS box set and so have not been buying these re-releases, but I am hoping that at least some of what Bond has written here will also be in his upcoming revised and expanded Music of Star Trek book.

Count me as another "fool" that purchased these volumes even though I own the box set. I love Star Trek and its music that much. But yes, it was those expanded notes from Jeff Bond that ultimately decided for me.

According to the LLL email, there are less than 100 units of Volume 1 left. We're about to be right back to a situation where some fans missed the bus! That's crazy.

I hope the TOS original soundtracks go back up on iTunes after these have sold out. They should be available in some form forever. All 12 LLL-edition volumes of Lost in Space have been maintained on iTunes. Star Trek should be too, when the CDs are gone.

I can happily say I own the entire 1701 series now. (Pending delivery by LLL). I would love for them to do the same thing with their Lost In Space Box set! Please re-release that in 2 disc sets!

So I have all 6 volumes of the LLL releases and I have the 3 GNP volumes. Is there anything vital I will be missing?

I though La La Land found better masters for the Doomsday Machine and included it on the 50th anniversary set but I don't see it listed there. Must have been a dream.

Otherwise I'm all caught up.

I’m probably opening Pandora’s box here, but does anyone who knows this music well have any suggestions for a “best of/essential highlights” cue listing for an hour long playlist?

Wow, that’s actually a great question. How to sum up all of the TOS music in a one hour playlist? Oof. Someone’s favorite is gonna get left off.

But it’s worth discussion, and I’d like to try it too.

All GNP Vol. 1 really needs is "Monster Illusion" added to "The Cage," and then Kirk's big fistfight with Mitchell added to WNMHGB ("Hurry, you haven't much time"). That's two cues, which you could record as DVD sound clips, or consult with friends about.

(In case this is helpful, "Monster Illusion" is the cue with a heartbeat rhythm and soprano vocal. It was reused in "A Private Little War" for the poison cure, and "Wolf in the Fold" for Sybo's seance.)

"Amok Time" and "The Doomsday Machine" are wholly satisfying as is on GNP Vol. 2. And that's it.

Limited Edition of 1701 Units

La-La Land Records, CBS Studios and GNP Crescendo Records proudly present STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES – THE 1701 COLLECTION VOL. 7, the seventh and final 2-CD set in a series of limited edition CD releases that showcase original scores from the landmark sci-fi television series STAR TREK (1966-1969).

This groundbreaking, iconic music, from one of television’s most acclaimed and beloved series, is now again available for fans everywhere!

Vol. 7 of the 1701 Collection focuses on the music of renowned composers Alexander Courage, Gerald Fried and Sol Kaplan, with the “Star Trek Theme” by Alexander Courage, and contains original scores from the classic pilots THE CAGE and WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE as well as the season two episodes AMOK TIME, and THE DOOMSDAY MACHINE, along with MAIN and END TITLES, additional music, source cues and more. 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 illustrates 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.

Nicely played, LLL! Glad you were able to reach agreement with the folk at GNP.

I own the 15-CD box so haven't bought any of these but am starting to be gripped by the FOMO. Added to which it's my birthday month so maybe I should splurge a bit...

Also, I hope you have ready answers to the spine-obsessed FSM members who will demand to know what trinket you've selected to grace the spine of Vol. 7! ;-)
