Reissue of James Horner 2-CD sci-fi classic!
Reissue of James Horner 2-CD sci-fi classic! Star Trek III: The Search For Spock soundtrack now joins the Intrada family of Star Trek feature soundtracks that include Trek’s IV, V and VI, scored by Leonard Rosenman, Jerry Goldsmith and Cliff Eidelman respectively. This 2022 Intrada presentation of the 1984 Search For Spock soundtrack is identical to the previous 2-CD release from the FSM label so owners of that edition need not apply here. Newcomers will discover James Horner launches into the search with an expansion of material he introduced in his 1982 Wrath Of Khan score, then ramps up the action. In dramatic fashion, Horner opens with haunting material and moving ideas for opening flashbacks prior to the title reveal. In dynamic contrast, Horner creates exciting barbaric action material for following “Klingons” sequence, featuring clanking percussion and Tibetan horn. Amongst many highlights, spotlights go to Horner’s lengthy “Stealing The Enterprise”, a tour-de-force of exciting ideas, fanfares and nautical adventure. The Capitol label released 47-minutes of music on their original 1984 album. This current Intrada 2-disc release, reprising the FSM presentation, adds over 20 minutes of music not on the Capitol version. Amongst the many highlights here are the dramatic “A Fighting Chance To Live” that underscores plans to destroy the Enterprise vessel and “Genesis Destroyed”, heard as the planet disintegrates. In balance is “Spock Endures Pon Farr” with haunting strains of Spock’s motif featuring ocarina over vibraphone. Customary for the composer, takes used for the film are often different from the their album counterparts. As such, the original album presentation is also included in this Intrada release on CD 2. The complete score presentation was mixed and mastered by Mike Matessino from the original 3-track stereo film elements. Detailed booklet notes are by Jeff Bond and Lukas Kendall, with colorful graphic design prepared by Kay Marshall. The score was recorded by Dan Wallin at Paramount in February 1984. Greig McRitchie orchestrates, James Horner composes, conducts. “A dying planet. A fight for life. The search for Spock.”

Very happy this is getting a repressing. A great score and one I needed to replace after my fire.

And their new cover also matches the other Intrada Trek releases, removing the border that the FSM releases of II and III had. (LLL's new release of II was also border-free, so now all six original cast Trek films consistently exist in border-free versions...for the OCD among us!)

Will the graphics on the discs be different? I hope so.
Also, cheers to Intrada for bringing back the old Capitol album cover. That one was impossible to find on the internet in anything above bad quality.

I may actually like THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK score more than THE WRATH OF KHAN score!
Me too, Henry, me too…

Unfortunately LaLaLand doesn't give a crap about your OCD and spines are more important than whether the cover has a red border or not.
Eh, since the first two have been done by LLL and THOSE spines match next to each other, and then there will be four matching Intradas next to them, I’ll still be happy.

Yes, STAR TREK: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK greatly benefited from the more comprehensive, expanded release. When STAR TREK II: WRATH OF KHAN was released by FSM and then LLL, it was nice to have better sonics and some previously missing cues, but STII-TWOK was always a good soundtrack album. The original soundtrack release of STIII-TSFS, on the other hand, suffered in comparison, it seemed less connected and a lesser score compared to II.
The expanded release sure changed that. In fact, as much as I like James Horner's score for STII, I think STIII is an even better score and soundtrack release.

Absolutely. This method of emotional scoring became a major Horner technique for handling pathos, tragic based subjects.
