Maybe I am in the minority, but I loved the red borders. I actually remade them in a more HD format.
Looks cool!
The (red) borders must be some sort of "Star Trek" thing, they are not unique to the FSM CD releases. GNP Crescendo had (red) borders around "Generations", "Insurrection", there was a (gold) border around the 25th anniversary STAR TREK - THE MOTION PICTURE CD, LaLaLand releases such as "The Final Frontier" or "Voyager Collection" all have similarly shaped border frames.

I also dig the red border--GNP's rerelease of Insurrection had a single red bar that I thought looked much better than the OST.

I hate borders with a passion and wish they'd go away for good. Somebody made a Rise of Skywalker cover that used phenomenal artwork... which was ruined by the inclusion of a border. I don't get the mentally behind it. The poster art looks great. Why add a border? As someone once facetiously speculated: maybe to prevent the art from sliding off the cover?
The border was added to some covers to distinguish them as a new edition. You could tell at a glance which release you were looking at. Also, it looked good or "more modern" at the time, just for being something new.
The 2003 James Bond editions got a variation of the border treatment, too. It set them apart from the old CDs even though they were contractually bound to use the very same cover art. It served a useful purpose.

Slipping this one into the player was like putting on a pair of comfortable old shoes. Just sit back and float away to the Genesis Planet and Vulcan courtesy of Mr. Horner and his orchestra.
I've always played "The Klingon's Plan" first. I love that big gong scrape as the U.S.S. Grissom reaches the Genesis Planet. One of the best of all Trek movie cues.

Remember the days of melodies that made you imagine the scenes unfolding in your head???
Yup! Those days were just last year with Bear McCreary’s Rings of Power. 
Totally agree with you on how wonderful Star Trek III is (in fact I prefer it to II in complete form).

I love the score and the movie is my favorite of the series. It's a lovely, emotional companion piece to Star Trek II and in some ways - in complete form - a more enjoyable album on the whole. The expaned Wrath of Khan, while giving us a number of truly outstanding cues I always wanted, includes some very hard to listen to pieces in the first portion. Mostly the Ceti Eels section. With The Search for Spock, other than a couple of anvil banging pieces, I can play this in car from start to finish and not piss off my passengers (more than usual anyway).
It's hard for me to play one without the other, they go to gether so perfectly. Incredible work.
Favorite cues...man most of them, but Stealing the Enterprise, Sunset on Genesis, A Fighting Chance to Live and Genesis Destroyed. Those last three were on my must have list since opening day of the film in 1983.

I like both Trek scores equally. Spock is more emotional and less jarring, but Trek 2 has the amazing action music.
Same here. They're a pair, like disc 1 and disc 2 of the same film. I think the two final set pieces in Wrath of Khan are unmatched in the pair, while Trek III is overall just sad and lovely.
